Green Acres has lots of space
As its name suggests, homebuyers can expect to find properties with plenty of land in Green Acres. The Albany neighborhood is bordered by Dawson Road, one of the city’s main thoroughfares, so while residents have access to green space and a community lake, shopping and dining are close by. “Even though it’s close to major roads, it’s kind of tucked away. It’s very quiet,” says Patricia McCrory, a Realtor with HRP Realty, who used to live in Albany. “It's an area that’s been established for a while. It’s a pretty good mix over there, but there are a lot of people who have lived there since the beginning.”
Green Acres offers roomy lots
Green Acres brims with ranch-style homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s. Spacious half-acre lots, peppered with towering pines and oak trees draped with Spanish moss, rest along the quiet streets. Prices range from $150,000 to $300,000. Green Acres's CAP Index Crime Score is 5 out of 10, slightly higher than the national average of 4.
Family homes with large lawns are common in Green Acres.

Shopping and dining along Dawson Road
Dawson Road traces Green Acres’ southern edge, leading to plenty of familiar shopping chains. Harbor Freight Tools, T.J. Maxx, Publix and the Albany Mall, anchored by Dillard’s, are all along the strip. For dining, popular options include Albany Fish Company, whose shrimp & gator po’boy made the Georgia’s 100 Plates list put out by the state’s tourism department. “Further south, eating alligator is a thing,” McCrory says. “Most people say it tastes like chicken, but there’s a difference. It’s the texture mostly.” Harvest Moon is another local hangout for pizza and live music.
There are a variety of shopping centers for residents of Green Acres.
The Albany Mall is just a short drive away from Green Acres.

Hammer Jam is an anticipated annual event
The Albany Museum of Art, 3 miles away, has a 2,400-piece art collection and holds monthly events like Corks & Canvases, where patrons sip wine and re-create famous works of art. The annual Hammer Jam fundraiser for Flint River Habitat for Humanity features area bands, a beer garden and food trucks. It takes place in August at the Merry Acres Inn, 2 miles away on Dawson Road. “You’ll never get bored here. There’s always something to do,” says Vickie Giles-Griffin, a Realtor with Re/Max of Albany and a longtime city resident. “They have all kinds of events downtown. During Mardi Gras, they close the streets off and have parades and food vendors. We have a 10,000-seat civic center that brings in a lot of music.”
Students attend Dougherty County Schools district schools
Green Acres is served by the Dougherty County Schools district. Public school students may attend Sherwood Acres Elementary, Merry Acres Middle and Westover High.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
