What this has to do with the market
Here's the truth: buyers pay for this kind of weekend. Homes within an easy drive of a working town center — Suwanee, Sugar Hill, Cumming City Center, downtown Alpharetta — tend to hold up better when the market slows, because the lifestyle is the part people can't renovate in later. If you're weighing a move, look at how often you'd actually use what's nearby, not just the square footage.
