Powder Springs Georgia Real Estate

Founded in 1837 and named for its beautiful natural springs once thought to have medicinal properties, Powder Springs is a largely suburban bedroom community.  Young families and couples tend to be drawn to the newer residential communities of Powder Springs.  These affordable well-kept neighborhoods, along with a 20-mile commute into downtown Atlanta, are just two reasons why Powder Springs is an increasingly popular area among homebuyers.  Several of the city's namesake springs still flow today and are commemorated at Powder Springs Park.  In addition, the Seven Springs Historical Society celebrates the area’s unique history with interesting exhibits on the 1828 gold rush era, the Cherokee Indians, and the Civil War.
