Chatsworth, GA Homes for Rent

Chatsworth is the retail hub of Murray County, a region of North Georgia crisscrossed by mountainous hiking paths and all-terrain vehicle trails. New businesses are opening, and subdivisions are being built in this city of about 5,000 people, but it’s only 5 miles to wooded summits roamed by black bears. Along with the scenic surroundings, the health care sector is driving people to Chatsworth. Locals may work at Hamilton Medical Center in nearby Dalton, AdventHealth Murray in Chatsworth or a new hospital AdventHealth plans to build in Murray County. “We’re seeing more doctors and medical workers moving here, especially with the hospital being built,” says Laura Young, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Kinard Realty who lives in Chatsworth. Young says a hectic Chatsworth housing market has kept her busy in recent years, but the rate of buying and selling is decelerating to a more moderate pace. She jokes that homes now sell after a few months instead of a few hours. “It’s been crazy, but we’re returning to a normal market.” Homes vary from bungalows in walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants to Craftsman- and colonial-inspired houses being built alongside U.S. Route 411.
