Lee County is in southwestern Georgia and includes the city of Leesburg (county seat) and part of the Albany‐regional area. Named after Revolutionary War hero Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee, this county has a mixture of agricultural land and growing residential development as the Albany region expands. The character is rural to semi-rural, with larger tracts of farmland, pine forest and lower-density homes outside the town centres. Housing includes modest homes in Leesburg, older farmhouses, newer homes on multi-acre lots, and land ready for build. Existing home purchase price ranges may commonly lie in the US $170,000-$280,000 range depending on size, lot and condition. For building a new home with land, depending on lot size and finish, you might budget $230,000-$320,000+. The county offers affordability and land for families or retirees looking for space, although commute to large metro employment (e.g., Albany) may still require travel.
