A true small town in the Atlanta suburbs

Suburb Commuter Affordable Diverse

Norcross is a small suburban community located about 30 minutes northeast of downtown Atlanta. Three of the region’s major thoroughfares (Interstate 85, Buford Highway, and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard) connect Norcross to Atlanta proper, giving folks easy access to the larger city for work or leisure. While mainly residential, Norcross does feature an attractive downtown area filled with unique shops and eateries, and residents enjoy prime access to the international restaurants and grocery stores along Buford Highway.

The city bills itself as “a place to imagine,” and the environment is certainly conducive to creativity: Between the libraries, the art centers, the concerts at Thrasher Park, and the stage productions of the local theater company, it’s a great atmosphere for folks who appreciate stimulating culture in a low-key setting.
