Winston is a wooded neighborhood in northwest Douglas County with mixed-development properties, high-ranking schools and access to nearby retail in Douglasville. Going through Winston, you immediately notice it is rich in brick traditional and ranch-style homes buried in Georgia pines. You’ll drive down winding roads, with certain blocks being grid-patterned and some ending in cul-de-sacs. Candace Starnes, a Winston local and real estate agent with Duffey Realty, says, “It’s really on the outskirts of Douglas County, but people consider it part of Douglasville; you barely notice when you cross over from the retail areas."

Single-family homes range from $225,000 to $900,000, depending on the house and lot size. Towards the lower end of the price range, you can get a cozy three-bedroom home sitting on an acre of land, and towards the top, you can get a five-bedroom estate resting on almost 5 acres. Starnes mentions, “It’s a rural area, but it's grown up a lot; over time, those large acre lots have been merged, and now a lot of them are still on the market.” Homebuyers can purchase one of several empty lots in Winston as well; pair that with the new construction homes already on the market, and you have a secluded neighborhood brimming with growth potential.

Douglas County Schools serve the Winston area. Nearby options include Winston Elementary School, Mason Creek Middle School and Douglas County High School, all boasting a B-plus rating on Niche. Douglas County High is also unique for being the oldest school in the county, as it was originally constructed in 1880, with a massive renovation occurring in 1937. Nowadays, it’s also the only high school in Douglas County that features the lauded International Baccalaureate diploma program.

Arbor Place Mall is 9 miles away with dining and home goods options, as well as department stores like Dillard’s and Macy’s. Regal Arbor Place is there, too, for when you want to catch a new movie on a rainy day. There’s also a Kroger, Publix, and Sam’s Club 7 miles away in Douglasville for groceries. Residents can browse various restaurants in Douglasville’s shopping districts. You have chain options such as Red Lobster or Popeye’s, but there are some local dives closer to home, like Evan’s Barbecue Company. They have served smoked barbecue egg rolls, Brunswick stew and jalapeno cornbread for over ten years.

Clinton Nature Preserve is a 200-acre park where you can picnic under shady trees. Mountain bikers and hikers will find trails that suit them while cruising past dense greenery growing over Civil War ruins. Hunter Memorial Park features a recently expanded playground, pavilion, and a duck-filled pond where you can enjoy catch-and-release fishing.

Interstate 20 borders the neighborhood on the southern side. Residents take the highway 28 miles east to downtown Atlanta. Considering the distance to nearby amenities, as well as the size of residential lots, driving is the best transportation option for Winston residents. With all the neighborhood has to offer in its expansive undeveloped land and the benefits of being neighbors with retail-rich Douglasville, Winston has diverse opportunities to offer potential homebuyers.
