Atlanta Real Estate's Diverse Areas

The fine city of Atlanta, GA is a very different kind of city. The Atlanta real estate market has sustained a constant positive growth because of a large number of housing options available to everyone. Unlike most cities, Atlanta has no river, ocean, or lake to act as containment for growth. The only exception would be the North Georgia Mountains to the north, but they sit over 100 miles away.

The fine city of Atlanta, GA is a very different kind of city. The Atlanta real estate market has sustained a constant positive growth because of a large number of housing options available to everyone. Unlike most cities, Atlanta has no river, ocean, or lake to act as containment for growth. The only exception would be the North Georgia Mountains to the north, but they sit over 100 miles away.

Metro Atlanta is made up of 4 geographical areas. The Northern Metro Atlanta area, where the cities of Alpharetta, Roswell, Woodstock, and Canton are located. The Western Metro Atlanta area, which Marietta, Smyrna, Powder Springs and Douglasville all reside. The Southern section of Atlanta, which houses the industrial section of Atlanta, is home to such cities as Forest Park, Peachtree City, Fairburn, and Stockbridge. And last but not least is East Metro Atlanta, where Snellville, Stone Mountain, Lawrenceville, and Conyers are located.

North Metro Atlanta is known for its larger than average median home prices. Cities such as Dunwoody and Roswell contain some of the most sought after Atlanta homes for sale. This region consists of many luxury home communities. As you drive further north of Atlanta the views become amazing. You can watch the geography change as you journey into the Blue Ridge 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.

Eastern Atlanta has been a very fast growing real estate sector in the Atlanta market. Cities such as Snellville, Conyers, and Dacula have all contributed to the prosperity of the area. Homeowners enjoy a short commute to Atlanta, and get to enjoy a suburban lifestyle.

Traveling through Atlanta searching for homes and real estate can be a daunting task, but as you can see it can also be very rewarding.
