Ball Ground Real Estate

Ball Ground Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Georgia

Located in Cherokee County about an hour north from Atlanta is the city of Ball Ground, Georgia. Deep rooted in Cherokee history, it has been suggested by local legend that the city’s name was derived from a game of ball and stick play by the Cherokee Indians and that the ground the city is built upon is where the game play took place. However, the community did not come to fruition until the railroad passed through what is now Ball Ground in 1882. Currently, about 1,025 residents are proud to call this community home.

Many future homeowners are attracted to this city for its top-rated school system and proximity to colleges and universities, as well as its community and county-wide amenities, and central location. The housing market has a current median listing price for homes that hover in the $265,000 range, with single family homes and land parcels dominating the market. Students are under the jurisdiction of Cherokee County School District, and area colleges such as Kennesaw State University and North Georgia College are located within a short commuting distance from the heart of the city. Residents have access to three area hospitals, two city parks, and several golf courses. Let’s not forget that since Atlanta is only 45 minutes away, residents can take advantage of the city’s recreational, entertainment, and economic amenities there as well.
