Loganville is a growing city that was established in 1842 between Athens and Atlanta. The city is home to new construction, highly rated schools and a developing downtown. "I love Loganville. There's an ease to living here, making it a great place to raise a family," says Natasha Bazile, an associate broker with Virtual Properties Realty. A longtime local, she has been selling houses since 2011. Bazile runs the YouTube channel Georgia New Homes, where she informs homebuyers, sellers and homeowners about the surrounding metro Atlanta suburbs. "It feels tucked away, but you're close enough to everything you need," she says.
Loganville is split between two counties. "Gwinnett County is sought after for its school system. Walton County has larger lots and lower taxes," Bazile says. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city's population was over 16,000 in 2023, an 11% increase since 2020. Located 40 miles from Atlanta, Loganville may not be ideal for commuters, but many residents work from home. The biggest employers in the county include the Walton County School District, Piedmont Walton Hospital and manufacturing companies like Takeda. Despite the growth, neighbors gather regularly for decade-long traditions of small-town concerts and festivals at Loganville Town Green.

A developing downtown and the annual Autumn Fest
Loganville's downtown has been the focus of redevelopment for the past decade, with most businesses located in historic brick buildings along Main Street and U.S. 78. "Loganville's downtown is smaller compared to cities like Lawrenceville or Snellville. They've been trying to protect it through zoning and planning, but we are seeing new additions," Bazile says. She highlights recent restaurant openings, including Toast'D Up for brunch and A Bite 2 Eat for outdoor dining, with Tacos-N-Beer set to open soon. "It's nice not to have to go to another city for chic restaurants," she says. Shopping centers like Loganville Crossing and Loganville Town Center provide grocery stores and big-box retailers such as Lowe's, Hobby Lobby and The Home Depot.
Loganville Town Green hosts the downtown's monthly and annual events. "Outdoor recreation is big in Loganville, with concerts, fall festivals and our Independence Day Celebration," Bazile says. Groovin' on the Green attracts locals with picnic blankets around the Ray Nunley Pavilion for live country and soul music on select Fridays from May through September. On the third Saturday in October, over 175 craft and food vendors line Main Street for Autumn Fest, the city's largest event.

Nearby sports fields and goat yoga at Durango Farm
Loganville has a mix of city and county parks. "The parks and sports fields are always full of sports leagues and various seasonal activities," Bazile says. The 50-acre West Walton Park baseball fields are connected by trails to neighboring Meridian Park, home to the Meridian Community Center. The largest green space is Vine's Park, a statue-filled rose and perennial botanical garden surrounding a swan lake. Double Durango Farm is family-owned and known for its family-friendly goat yoga outside the barn. Tribble Mill Park's riverine hardwood forests border the 109-acre Ozora Lake, complemented by equestrian trails and boat launches. The city experiences all four seasons with long, hot summers, cool fall weather and short winters.

Gwinnett County Public Schools has an A-grade
Gwinnett County Public Schools has an A rating and over 180,000 students. It's one of the largest districts in the Atlanta area and ranks among the top 10. Walton County School District has over 14,000 students with an A-minus rating on Niche and is home to Loganville High School, the county's top high school. Both districts provide career and technical education courses across various pathways, including marketing, engineering, computer science, education and agriculture.

Independence is an up-and-coming amenity-filled community
Since the 1900s, Loganville has steadily developed. Clusters of traditional subdivisions spread from U.S. 78 into ranch-style houses surrounded by acres of working farmland. "In areas outside subdivisions, you'll see homes with large vegetable gardens and livestock like goats and chickens," Bazile says. "We have also seen an increase in 55+ communities and townhome options." She notes that average lot sizes range from one to two acres, with the Walton County side offering more acreage and lower taxes. The city is also growing with new construction on the Gwinnett County side. Bazile also points out Independence, an amenity-filled master-planned community with a resort-style pool and walking trails. As of June 2024, Loganville's median home price is $405,000, down 4.35% from March 2023 and nearly 13% lower than neighboring Grayson's median of $461,000.

Proposed mixed-use development near Highway 20 outskirts
City officials have proposed a $180 million project to enhance downtown infrastructure, expand public parks and construct a new city hall. As of October 2024, The Landing at Tuck Farm, a mixed-use development, is under discussion at Loganville City Hall along Tuck Road and Highway 20. However, longtime locals are working to preserve Loganville's rural identity.

Less than 40 miles from Atlanta and U.S. 78 access
Loganville is nearly 40 miles from Atlanta. "While most people work from home these days, many still commute daily. The drive to Atlanta is an hour on a good day, and that isn't taking into account traffic," Bazile says. Athens is about the same distance, with easy access to nearby interstates. U.S. 78 runs through town, connecting to Snellville 7 miles away and I-85. Route 20 is another main road, while Route 81 leads to I-20. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is 45 miles away, and Piedmont Eastside Medical Center is 10 miles northwest.
Lower property and violent crime rates than the state and national averages
The city has lower property and violent crime rates than state and national averages, with oversight from the Loganville Police Department.

The property crime rate was 69.71 per 100,000 residents, 50.65% lower than the state's 141.27 per 100,000.
