A Guide to Suburban Georgia Living | Suburbs to Keep an Eye On
As an experienced real estate agent in Georgia, I have seen the ebbs and flows of suburban living changes. While urban living attracts a lot of younger buyers, there is a significant shift occurring – the push toward suburban living. In this blog, I will cover the factors contributing to the increase of suburban living in Georgia and some places to be on the lookout for in suburban Georgia.
1. The Desire for Space
The suburbs of Georgia is a great space to live and grow in. If you want the experience of a neighborhood or a few acres of land, you can find it all within the state of Georgia. People are desiring more space for relaxation and recreation.
2. Stellar School Systems
Georgia’s suburban school systems are well known for their commitment to child development growth. This provides families with peace of mind and a sense of community that will positively impact their children. If you are looking for charter or private schools, many suburban areas may have that option, too.
3. The Convenient Commute
As infrastructure improves to provide a well-connected suburb to city commute, Georgia suburbs are becoming more popular. The commute is not as long as people once perceived it to be. Residents can work in the industry and job that the city provides, but go home to a relaxing suburb community.
4. Affordable Living
Suburbs are much more affordable than city living. Your dollar can stretch much farther when it comes to daily needs, such as rent and groceries. Homebuyers often experience receiving more space and larger lots for a fraction of the cost of urban living.
5. Family-Friendly Experience
Suburbs are often hotspots for families which can mean high-quality schools, parks, and community centers. Parents also want to foster a safe community that their children can grow up and thrive in.
