Nearby Sugar Hill Ranked No. 3 Among Best Cities for Home Ownership

Sugar Hill has been dubbed the third best place for homeowners in the state of Georgia. 

That's according to an analysis done by NerdWallet, which examined 68 cities with populations exceeding 15,000 to determine if they had characteristics that were most favorable to home buyers.

In its analysis, NerdWallet reviewed if homes were available in the area, if residents could afford to live in that particular city and if the city is growing.

According to the report:

Very close to Atlanta and the Chattahoochee River, with median monthly home costs of just $1,576, Sugar Hill is a slightly more affordable option than many other Atlanta suburbs. The median home value is $172,800, and 83.1% of the homes are owned rather than rented. The city is home to the 67-acre Gary Pirkle Park, which features five multi-purpose fields, 1.7 miles of paved, lighted walking trails, and a community garden. Golf lovers will enjoy the picturesque Sugar Hill Golf Club at the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains.
