Cherokee County

Cherokee County is located in northwest Atlanta and includes the cities of Woodstock, Canton, and Holly Springs, and the small towns of Ball Ground and Waleska. It is one of the gateways from Metro Atlanta to the mountains of North Georgia. It is more expensive to own a home in Cherokee County than the metro average, with an average sale price of $489,762 in Q3 and Q4 2022, up 13.2% year-over-year. Most homes are single-family homes, typically with generous square footage and larger lots. Places like Downtown Woodstock and Canton offer options to live in a walkable area, close to amenities like restaurants, shops, parks, and trails.

Planned developments include the expansion of the Woodstock City Center; a 30-acre adaptive reuse, mixed use project at The Mill at

Etowah in Canton; single-family home and townhome developments around Canton and Ball Ground; and logistics centers along the I-575 corridor. The recently incorporated City of Holly Springs is also designing its city hall, grand lawn, and surrounding town center, which will include shops, townhomes, and apartments.
