Cherokee County, Georgia
Cherokee County covers 421 square miles on metro Atlanta's northern edge, with about 281,000 residents concentrated along the I-575 corridor through Woodstock, Canton and Holly Springs. Out-migration from Fulton and Cobb drives the market, and Woodstock's rebuilt downtown has become the county's commercial anchor. Sewer service largely follows that corridor, so density outside it is limited by septic capacity and the county's own land-use plan — the practical ceiling on where new subdivisions can go. Median home value is $435,100, the highest in this group, against median household income of $108,000.
