Atlanta, Georgia is a very diverse city. The Atlanta real estate market has benefited greatly due to a wide array of housing options available. Everything from its people, architecture, landscapes and communities is extremely different. As you many already know, Atlanta is a land locked city with no ocean, river, or lake to act as a blockade for expansion and growth. The closest barrier the city of Atlanta feels is the Blue Ridge Mountains around 100 miles to the north.
The Metropolitan area of Atlanta is divided up into 4 geographical areas. North Metro Atlanta, where the cities of Woodstock, Roswell, Alpharetta, and Cumming reside. West Metro Atlanta, where fine cities such as Marietta, Powder Springs, and Austell are located. The industrial powerhouse to the south is home to cities such as Forest Park, Peachtree City, and Fairburn. And the fourth and final region would make up the eastern part of Atlanta including Stone Mountain, Snellville and Lawenceville.
North Metro Atlanta is known for its higher than average median home values. Beautiful towns such as Alpharetta and Roswell house some of the most sought after Atlanta homes for sale. This region consists of many luxury home and country club communities. As you drive further north of Atlanta the views become amazing. You can watch the geography change as you journey into the North Georgia mountains.
West Atlanta contains some historic cities such as Marietta, Georgia. Further out are the growing cities of Powder Springs and Hiram. Very affordable homes have driven many new home seekers out to this region over the last 3-5 years. There are many neighborhoods available in this area where one can still find a lot to build on over one acre.
South Metro Atlanta is home to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. This region is also home to many large international corporations such as Delta Airlines. The southern Atlanta region is comprised of commercial and industrial real estate. Further to the south is where cities such as Peachtree City are located. A very affluent town where most of the citizens own golf carts to commute through the downtown area.
The Eastern region of Metro Atlanta has a fast growing real estate market. Once small cities such as Snellville and Dacula have recently doubled in size due to the fast growing housing markets. Within a short commute from downtown Atlanta, this area is perfect place to be close to the city, but enjoy a suburban lifestyle.
Traveling through Atlanta searching for real estate and homes can be a difficult undertaking, but as you can see it can also be very rewarding when you can find the region that best fits your needs.
