Growing Douglas County suburb with modern sensibilities
Lithia Springs, in northeastern Douglas County, was originally renowned for its Lithia mineral water springs, which attracted visitors to the Lithia Springs Resort. There, they would seek the supposed therapeutic health benefits of the water, including its perceived ability to treat various ailments. While it declined over time, the historical significance of the resort remains, and the area is now receiving a revival of interest and development. “The area is growing. A Lionsgate studio is being built in Douglas County, which people are excited about,” says Scott Coleman, a Realtor with D.R. Horton Realty of Georgia Inc., who has sold over 100 homes in the region. “People also like it for its convenience — you’re only a 20-minute drive from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.” To get to Atlanta, residents travel to the east for about 20 miles on Interstate 20.
Lithia Springs, once a mineral spring resort, is now a thriving town of 16,000.
Lithia Springs' landscape is characterized by tall mature forests and abundant water sources.

Affordable single-family builds
U.S. Highway 78 and U.S. Interstate 20 run horizontally through the neighborhood. Homes on the north side of Highway 78 feel wooded and secluded, with a train track that runs along Ben Hill Road. They’re smaller up there, but as you get further north, things start to spread out. Homes between the two roads sit closer to stores and services, but not every home in this section of Lithia Springs sits on a sprawling lot. To the south of I-20, there are homes in pocket subdivisions and properties along country roads with large lawns. Residential roads sometimes don’t have sidewalks or markings, and there are above-ground powerlines. Most homes were built in 1989, but there is new construction available. You can find a single-family home in the mid $300,000 to upper $400,000 range, which is a lower cost compared to other areas surrounding Atlanta. $350,000 will get you a four-bedroom ranch-style home on about half an acre. In the upper $400,000 range, you can find a home with four or five bedrooms and modern updates.

Lithia Springs Library on Turner Drive is one of three library branches in Douglas County and hosts an onslaught of events for youth and older adults throughout the year. Tiffany's Kitchen, a local favorite, is a modest building on Lee Road that you might miss just driving by, but residents come from all over for this southern comfort food.

Lithia Springs is home to Sweetwater Creek Park where visitors can hike, fish, boat, and camp.
Sprawling natural wilderness at Sweetwater Creek State Park
Sweetwater Creek State Park, located in the center of the neighborhood, spans 2,549 acres, and includes the George Sparks Reservoir, which is 215 acres. While there’s no beach or swimming allowed in the reservoir, you can buy fishing supplies at an adjacent bait shop and cast your line into the water. When it’s warm, rent a boat, canoe, kayak or paddleboard or wander wooded trails past the stone ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, a textile mill that burned down during the Civil War. From there, continue and climb the rocky bluffs that overlook the rapids below. Coleman says, “It’s only 25 minutes from downtown Atlanta and offers an amazing oasis outside the city.” Also in the neighborhood is Woodrow Wilson Park on Mount Vernon Road, a smaller park with two pavilions, a dog park, and playgrounds.
