Nature and community in Winder
Located 42 miles northeast of Atlanta, Winder is a rapidly growing city that offers a historic downtown and community activities. “Winder is exploding right now,” says Katie Belcher, a Realtor with All Star Realty Group LLC who has served Winder for seven years. “We are seeing people moving here from Gwinnett County because of overcrowding. I think it is going to be the next big city.” With numerous housing developments popping up to meet the demand, residents can live in modern homes and enjoy proximity to the outdoors since Winder is home to Fort Yargo State Park. Local playgrounds and parks offer additional recreation, and community events offer opportunities to mingle with neighbors. With a central downtown area and proximity to Atlanta, Winder offers suburban comforts in a laidback environment.

Regardless of location, homes feature grassy yards framed by trees and neat landscaping. In more established communities, homebuyers can find ranch styles and split levels from the 1970s and 80s. Gated communities with HOA fee-funded amenities feature New Traditional-style homes built in the 2020s. The city's median housing price is around $350,000, which is lower than the national median.
