Polk County is located in northwest Georgia, in the Ridge and Valley region, with its county seat in Cedartown. The region includes both small city neighborhoods (in Cedartown) and rural/wooded areas. Its character is semi-rural to suburban, depending on zone: parts nearer major highways may see more subdivision growth, while other parts remain rural with large lots and forest. Housing types include classic homes in town, newer subdivisions (especially as people seek affordable alternatives to metro Atlanta suburbs), homes on acreage, and land for building. Typical home purchase values may range US $250,000-$400,000+, depending on location, size and finish; for new builds on land, consider US $300,000-$500,000+, depending on lot, finish, and utilities. Its proximity to the Atlanta metro’s ex-urban region and to regional job centers makes Polk County attractive as a growth area for buyers seeking more land but still reasonable commute.
