Forsyth County Real Estate

I'm very new and have not made any deals yet, but I want to do my part and help out on BP as much as I can.  If anyone is assessing a deal in Forsyth County and wants to know anything about the area, subdivision, crime, school, etc., let me know.  I know every road and subdivision in the county and can give you information about that area and possibly what is about to be built or changed in that area.  

Just message me for any info!!

I hear there's 300 subdivisions under construction, or approved for construction, in Forsyth County right now. I live north of SR 20 and I can tell you we don't have the roads, schools or infrastructure to handle all that's coming. People up here are trying to fight this expansion but I think it's a losing battle.

@Josh Singh I'm not too sure who the builder is on that property, the county has been flooded with Taylor Morrison and D.R. Horton lately.  I'll try and find out who the builder is on Monday/Tuesday when I'm at work.  

@Bruce Silverman We definitely do not have the infrastructure and the schools to support the growth, but it's been growing like that over the past decade so I don't think it'll get too out of hand. It was the 6th fastest county in the US last year and one of the wealthiest as well.  Every school in the county is great and the crime is extremely low so the growth will continue until those numbers start to decrease.

@Josh Singh I'll be in the area tomorrow and should know Friday who is building there.

If anyone has any questions about any areas of Forsyth County in reference to specific neighborhoods, schools, crime rates, etc. let me know.  I can find out very quickly or I know immediately what it is like.

@Josh Singh Almost forgot to post this! The builder off Brannon Rd is CalAtlantic Homes. The entrance is actually off of Ronald Reagan. All SFH from what it looks like.

Hi there, I am exploring Forsyth County for potential investment opportunities. Any tips on what are some of the good cities to invest in for homes under 250K - 300K range? Thanks!

@Payal Zilaro There is only one primary city in forsyth and that is Cumming. But parts of Alpharetta, Gainesville, Suwanee, and Duluth overflow into forsyth. The entire county is great. Every part of it is low crime, great schools. The Suwanee and duluth parts are high $ so it would be more difficult to find something in that area, but the rest of the county is in your budget easily.

@William McGregor - are you still bullish from an investor's perspective on Forsyth (Cumming specifically) given all the new construction?
