Atlanta is located in the north west area of Georgia and is comprised of a 28 county metropolitan area that features a population of approximately 5 million people. Within the actual city limits of Atlanta is a population of approximately 430,000 people so it may definitely be said that Atlanta is a suburban community. Atlanta is home to the worlds busiest airport ( Hartsfield – Jackson International Airport ) and the corporate headquarters of many large corporations such as Coca Cola Enterprises, Home Depot, Delta Airlines and Georgia Pacific.
Atlanta Real Estate has undergone much revitalization in recent years including the development of Atlantic Station, Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, Eastlake and West End. Atlanta Real Estate may be divided in to many separate areas but is most often first classified as “ITP” or “OTP” which stands for inside or outside the perimeter. I-285 is the perimeter highway that circles the city of Atlanta and thus has become the perimeter of the ITP and OTP classifications. As Atlanta is comprised heavily of suburban residents then more people have historically moved outside the perimeter but in the more recent times people have began moving to locations inside the perimeter making that real estate much more desirable.
Roswell Georgia is located approximately 12 miles north of the city of Atlanta in what is known as the Georgia 400 corridor referring to the main highway north from Atlanta to the North Georgia Mountains. The population of Roswell based on 2007 data is 87,300 residents. Roswell is between the cities of Alpharetta and Sandy Springs and has experienced growth over the past several decades.

Cumming Georgia is located approximately 30 minutes north of Atlanta straight up Ga 400. Cumming is the county seat of Forsyth County and is home to 4200 residents based on the latest census data. This close knit community has seen an explosion in population over the past several years and the county of Forsyth has ranked annually as one of the fastest growing counties in the nation. Cumming residents enjoy the proximity of Lake Lanier and many other outdoor activities.
Cumming is a gateway community to the North Georgia Mountains as it is some 30-45 minutes away from Amicalola falls in Dawson County and the attractions of Dahlonega in Lumpkin county to the north. Most of the development in Forsyth County has been and remains strong in the southern end of the county with the central and northern parts of the county less developed. The future of Cumming and Forsyth County is strong with increased growth as well as imporvements to the infrastructure.
