Atlanta, Georgia Homes Worth Moving For

Much like peach cobbler, sweet tea, and sunshine, some things are just better down south. And the Atlanta, Georgia, real estate market is no exception.

Typically regarded for affordability, job growth, and suburban sprawl, Atlanta is a hot spot for homebuyers right now. Relatively low interest rates and jobs are enticing buyers to make a move to the vibrant southern city. In fact, recent reports expect the Atlanta housing market to outpace the nation in terms of price growth for 2021. What does this mean? If you’re a buyer you’ll want to act fast, expand your housing search, and make a strong first offer.

Here we highlight two fantastic Atlanta finds in our latest Splurge vs. Steal.

Splurge: Stately Atlanta Family Home With Outdoor Oasis For $800K

First up, our splurge. This four-bedroom, three-full-and-one-half-bathroom gem sits in the sought-after Morningside neighborhood. With a prime location near The Belt Line and Piedmont Park, it’s a great option for those who want comfortable family living. We love the stately brick exterior! And inside is equally impressive too. 

Highlights include gorgeous hardwoods and a gracious family room with French doors to an expansive deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. You’ll also enjoy a classic granite kitchen, renovated master bath with clawfoot tub, and spacious guest rooms.

But it’s the private outdoor oasis that real sells. It affords a deck, stone pathway, lush garden, and a tranquil waterfall feature. A finished two-car-garage, gas generator, and easy access to Atlanta restaurants and shopping round out our splurge.

Steal: Historic Kirkwood Bungalow With All The Upgrades For $575K

Next, our steal! This historic Kirkwood bungalow is sure to steal your heart. According to the listing, “You will fall in love from the moment you pull into the driveway with lush landscaping, a stunning exterior, and lovely front porch – perfect for the incoming spring weather.” 

And we couldn’t agree more! This three-bedroom, three-full-bathroom home boasts a grand front entry with welcoming front porch and well-kept interiors bathed in natural light.
