About Duluth, GA

One of the fastest growing metro areas in the country over the last few years has been Atlanta. One of the many reasons why Atlanta has become such a popular place to live is because of the many beautiful suburban areas that surround the downtown core. One of those cities is Duluth. Founded in the 1800’s as a railroad hub, Duluth took on an even greater significance during the suburban flight of the 1950’s. Duluth continues today to be an oasis of reasonably priced Duluth apartments and homes that allow one to live close to all of the excitement and action of downtown Atlanta without having to pay downtown prices.

Duluth is, at heart, a bedroom community for the greater Atlanta area. Some folks even commute to Athens and the University of Georgia, just an hour away from Duluth every day. That’s not to say that Duluth doesn’t have any redeeming qualities of its own. Much like many other cities in the Atlanta area,, Duluth is blessed with beautiful scenery and nature surrounding it on all sides. Since the city of Duluth is tucked away in the northeast corner of the Atlanta area, it is a much quieter choice for those looking to live near a city but still have the benefits of living in a rural area.

While the benefits of living in Duluth are many, most people choose a Duluth apartment because of the combination of low crime, affordable prices and the proximity to Atlanta. With a population of over 20,000, there are plenty of jobs within the Duluth city limits, but most people travel to and from the city for work. Duluth is serviced by several highways that allow for a worry free commute and as anyone who has visited Atlanta will tell you, the people here are as about as friendly as you’ll find anywhere.

If you’re in the market for a studio Duluth apartment, you can expect to pay approximately $600-$700. If you are looking for a bit more space, like a one bedroom Duluth apartment, your costs will rise to $750-$900. If a two bedroom Duluth apartment is more to your liking, your costs will rise to $1000-$1300, depending on amenities. Finally, an executive style unit with lots of space and benefits galore will generally go for $1500 or more. Costs here are only a fraction above the national average and when you consider how beautiful the Duluth area is and the inherent benefits of living here, that additional cost is well worth it.
