Historic Downtown Norcross: Another example of a social, walkable neighborhood to consider for home purchase in Atlanta

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Downtown Norcross is located about 20 miles northeast of Downtown Atlanta in Gwinnett County.  While much of the development along Buford Highway is sprawling strip centers and subdivisions, Historic Norcross is a pedestrian-friendly haven of parks and small, independent boutiques, professional services, restaurants, and taverns that are easy to enjoy on foot and cannot be found in larger, formulaic shopping centers prevalent outside of the Perimeter (Interstate 285). 

The outstanding preservation and charm of Historic Downtown Norcross today is the manifestation of many years of efforts by the city to improve Downtown.  Primary revitalization efforts have occurred since 2002.  Downtown now thrives with businesses and numerous events to bring the citizens of Norcross together for the summer concert series, farmer's market, and approximately 10-15 other special, free events for the area residents.

New and historic homes that remain true to the architectural style of yester-year surround Downtown Norcross. Victorian homes and bungalows alike add to the charm of the Downtown area and provide a home location that offer walking distance proximity to Downtown amenities - restaurants, shops, and parks in Downtown Norcross.
