Crabapple Market and The Green: A Visitor’s Guide

Crabapple Market is the shopping and dining heart of downtown Crabapple in Milton, Georgia: shops, restaurants and homes connected by walkways and trails, starting from The Green, per Crabapple Market. The address is 12650 Crabapple Road, Milton, GA 30004, and The Green sits across from Milton City Hall, about 4 minutes away on foot (measured along OpenStreetMap streets and paths at about 3 mph).

What the market is

The market was developed by Orkin and Associates and Ron Wallace and is privately owned, per Appen Media. In 2021 an expansion added 11 new buildings with retail, restaurant and residential space. The market’s “Heart of Milton” brand goes with the 60-foot mural on its parking garage wall. Its own website does not state an opening year, so we don’t give one. Today the market says its CM West section is leasing.

The market sits inside the area the City has planned for. Milton adopted the Crabapple Conceptual Master Plan in 2012 to guide a village center, and the Crabapple form-based code, now Article 7A of the City’s Unified Development Code, asks that parking lots be screened from the street by buildings. That is why most lots in Crabapple sit behind buildings. The parking guide has the details.

The Green and its stage

The Green is a landscaped outdoor venue with an open-air stage at Crabapple Market, across from Milton City Hall. (Crabapple Market, checked Oct 18, 2026)

The performance stage opened with a grand-opening concert on Saturday, October 16, 2021. The Green hosts the City’s Memorial Day ceremony each year, the market’s free evening shows and seasonal parties. Private events on The Green are priced case by case, generally $500 to $2,500 plus a refundable security deposit, per the market’s Green page, which also has the rental questionnaire.

Hours

The market publishes no single set of hours. Each business posts its own; we list them with an open-on-the-day filter. In short: coffee from 7 a.m. on Heritage Walk, shops mostly from 10 or 11 a.m., and the pub open until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Market District Crabapple is next door

A note on addresses: several Crabapple businesses print an Alpharetta mailing address or a 30009 ZIP. That is the postal name, not the city. The US Census geocoder places Crabapple Market inside the City of Milton, in Fulton County. More in Crabapple: Milton or Alpharetta?
