As part of a new special feature at the Buy Owner Blog, we’ll be highlighting cities throughout the nation, profiling their attractions and conveniences, as well as pointing out some currently for-sale homes in the area!

First up, Lawrenceville, Georgia!

Located about 40 minutes northeast of Atlanta, this Georgia suburb has a Southern hospitality all its own! As the second oldest city in the state, Lawrenceville features beautifully historic buildings that house shops, boutiques and eateries. Strolling through the quaint downtown, you can’t help but be charmed!

Known as the Crepe Myrtle City, Lawrenceville is as beautiful as it is convenient: this is where you’ll find one of the major hospitals of the region, Gwinnett Medical Center, as well as the nearby Gwinnet Center, a facility for a variety of events and special performances, including sports and entertainment.

Must-see destinations include the Aurora Theatre, showcasing musicals and plays; ghost tours that highlight this town’s rich history; the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse that’s open for tours; and the Veterans Memorial Museum with its interesting war artifacts.

If you’re looking for a neighborhood that benefits from Atlanta conveniences and its own brand of Southern style, you’ll want to check out Lawrenceville.
