North Georgia ~ Forsyth County

By
Real Estate Agent with United Home Group KW 376586

North Georgia is home to an increasing number of communities that merit “superlatives” – or in everyday language, special recognition. One we’ll discuss here is Forsyth County in north central Georgia, 45 miles north of downtown Atlanta.

With no offense intended to long time residents, when this blogger was a kid he knew Forsyth County best as home to Hee Haw celebrity Junior Samples. Forsyth was obviously far more than that then, and it certainly is now. But how times have changed.

In fairness, there was & is much about Forsyth that escapes the attention of any typical kid. Its estimated 2016 population is 221,000, and the county seat is Cumming. It is one of 5 counties surrounding Lake Lanier. Of approximately 59,000 homes, an impressive 86% are owner-occupied, only 14% rental.



In terms of special recognition, Forbes ranks Forsyth as the 7th fastest growing county in the US from 2010 to 2012. This is a 2017 report, and we kinda wish they’d bring it current, but it’s the latest data they offer.

Forsyth County is also ranked as Georgia’s:

- Wealthiest county
- Healthiest county
- 4th Best School District (1st among large districts)
- 2nd Best County to Live

Financial news provider 247WALLst ranks Forsyth as Georgia’s wealthiest county. Percentage of home ownership and the $86,500 median household income are among the highest in the US.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation & County Health Rankings & Roadmaps rate Forsyth County as Georgia’s healthiest. Forsyth earns top or 2nd rank in health outcomes, length & quality of life, health behaviors and social & economic factors.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution summarizes these growth, wealth & health statistics.



SchoolDigger places Forsyth County as the 4th best school district in the state, with higher ratings earned only by districts with far fewer schools. It earns top rating among districts of over ten total schools.

According to Niche, Forsyth is Georgia’s 2017 2nd best county in which to live, led only by Oconee to the southeast. Forsyth earns A & B grades for schools, housing, family life, safety, nightlife & diversity.

Forsyth County Single Family Homes for Sale:

Over $1,000,000
$500,000 to $1,000,000
$250,000 to $500,000
Under $250,000

Forsyth County enjoys many attributes that defy rating. Certainly Lake Lanier recreational opportunities top the list. Commercially, from Georgia 400 exits 13 thru 15 one can find a diversity of shopping, dining & entertainment options that rival any metro Atlanta community. These combined with Forsyth’s close proximity to Atlanta and mountains & rivers to the north make it an outstanding place to call home.

I have never used resumeyard.com before, so this is my first time. I have to say I've had the best experience with your service. From the friendly person on the chat line to the writers that are so patient and creative. It's wonderful that you can make as many drafts as you want, and someone is happy to make the change. I've had the pleasure of working with Sidney Summers and Tiffany Meyer. Tiffany was amazing in turning my plain resume to a rock star one! She's very creative and knowledgeable about what would catch an interviewer's eye. She made sure I was happy with the final version, but happy to make more changes if I needed too. I'm very grateful that I was referred to use your service and would be happy to pay it forward and refer you to others.
