Ball Ground hosts the country's largest display of daffodils
Ball Ground, Georgia, is home to about 2,500 residents and more than 20 million daffodils. The floral extravaganza, which Southern Living magazine calls the “largest display of daffodils this side of Holland,” can be seen from early March through mid-April at the city’s Gibbs Gardens.
Known for its natural beauty, Ball Ground is situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The city has one historic main street lined with independent shops and restaurants. And while it may seem small to most, the area has been undergoing a population boom. Since 2000, it’s more than tripled in size. “Everybody has gotten wind of how cool this place is and there’s a lot of interest,” says Britney Javens, a Realtor with the Legacy Team at Keller Williams, who’s been selling homes in the area for two years. “The downtown area is super, super cute and all the people are just so nice. Everybody helps everybody out and that’s hard to come by these days. If you run out of gas, somebody is going to stop and help you.”

Gilmer Ferry Road serves as a hub for shopping and dining
Along downtown’s Gilmer Ferry Road, residents can browse the album collection at Carma Vinyl and Vibes, meet friends for a beer at Rock Solid Brewing, or grab a burger inside a restored 1948 red and white trolley at Ball Ground Burger Bus.
There aren’t any sprawling strip malls filled with big-box stores in Ball Ground. Residents shop for groceries at locally owned shops like Farm Fresh Beef and Produce, on Hightower Trail, which offers organic meat and vegetables, raw cow’s milk and homemade pot pies. Getting to larger national chains, such as Kroger and Publix, requires a 10-mile drive southwest to the city of Canton.

March of the Toys Parade is an anticipated tradition
For such a small place, Ball Ground is hoppin’ — the city throws nearly a dozen parties a year. Residents look forward to downtown events like the BBQ and Brews festival in April and the March of the Toys Parade, which benefits the national charity Toys for Tots, in December.
For year-round entertainment, locals head to Feather’s Edge Vineyards on Ball Ground Highway for a wide selection of locally sourced wines, an art gallery and live music on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Ball Ground’s curb appeal
Those looking to move to Ball Ground will find homes built anywhere from the early 1900s to the present day. Styles span from Craftsmans and ranch homes to contemporary townhouses. “There are lots of sidewalks in the downtown area. You can walk to all the little shops. Once you get outside of downtown, it’s much more rural. You can get an acre of land,” Javens says. “A lot of people are moving there to get out of the city. Canton is so expensive now. You can’t get in if you don’t have a million dollars.”
The average sale price in Ball Ground hovers around $550,000. A vintage three-bedroom cottage could be found for $250,000, while a five-bedroom, neo-traditional home might run upwards of $700,000. “If homes are priced right, they’ll sell within a week or less,” Javens said. “I had something there, where an offer was made within 24 hours.”

Enjoy the outdoors at Poole’s Mill Bridge Park
To mark sliding down a waterfall off the bucket list, head to Poole’s Mill Bridge Park on Poole’s Mill Road. In addition to a historic wooden covered bridge, visitors will discover a river for fishing, a swimming hole and a small waterfall that serves as a natural water slide for those who venture to slide down the rocks. “Tourists from all over the state go to Ball Ground in the fall,” Javens says. “It’s a beautiful place to go when the leaves are changing.”
