Murrayville is a quiet rural town with city access nearby

Murrayville is a rural community set in the rolling hills of North Georgia, accessible only by one two-lane country highway, and spoken of most often in relation to its proximity to other towns. “It’s between Gainesville and Dahlonega, and really the biggest draw is the people,” says Realtor Jason Buffington with Keller Williams Lanier Partners, who has 16 years of experience and is a lifelong area resident. “It’s a quiet, old-timey community with good schools and good churches. Everybody knows everybody else, and you’ll see tractors going up and down the road all summer.” All the same, this area does not feel entirely disconnected from its surroundings. Quick drives north or south bring residents to the hearts of two bustling urban areas, and the nearby lake encourages outdoor activity throughout the summer. Murrayville offers a slice of the country lifestyle without sacrificing any conveniences.

Custom-built farmhouses and Modern Traditional homes reflect Murrayville's rural character

Because Murrayville is so rural, many homes are owner-built and sit on plenty of spacious country land. Styles include farmhouses, ranch-style homes and Modern Traditional builds. “There are a lot of custom homes out here just because of the lake and the big parcels of land,” Buffington says. “Most of them are over 3 acres, but some of the farms are 10 acres or even more, and it’s all still active farmland.” Home prices vary largely based on build year, number of bedrooms and lot size, ranging from $130,000 for older farmhouses on 2-acre lots to almost $950,000 for Modern Traditional builds on lots over 10 acres.

Murrayville has a CAP Index Crime score of 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

Local schools like Mount Vernon Elementary earn B-plus ratings from Niche

Murrayville students are zoned to begin at Mount Vernon Elementary School, which earns a B-plus from Niche. North Hall Middle, located 5 miles east of downtown, and North Hall High, home of the Trojans, both also receive B-plus grades.

Murrayville Park and Lanier Park are nearby amenities

Murrayville Park hosts a baseball diamond, a multipurpose athletic field and a set of four tennis and pickleball courts, along with a playground and picnic shelters. The town is also close to a regional vacation destination. “Lake Lanier is a huge draw for the area,” Buffington says. “There are boat ramps and launches all over, and the fishing is real good. There’s good hunting nearby, too – plenty of white tail deer and wild turkey.”

Gainesville and Dahlonega offer groceries, restaurants and college-town charm

The Publix Supermarket at Riverbrook Village, located just off Highway 60, is the nearest grocery store. The closest big-box store is the Target in Gainesville. “In 15 to 20 minutes, you can be right in Gainesville picking up groceries or eating at the restaurants downtown,” Buffington says. “And Dahlonega is real close by, too. That’s a college town – University of North Georgia, a military college – so there’s some good food that way, as well.” Restaurants in Gainesville include The Stag Chophouse, an upscale eatery with live music, and Up In Smoke BBQ, a classic southern-style takeout spot notable for their pulled pork sandwich. In Dahlonega, folks can grab lunch at Zen Ramen and Bento, a Japanese-inspired campus favorite.

Thompson Bridge Road connects Murrayville to nearby towns and highways

Thompson Bridge Road cuts through the center of Murrayville, providing the community’s only connection to the nearby interstate highways. “You’re right by Interstate 85, which’ll take you right down into Atlanta. That’s probably a 45-minute trip on a good day,” Buffington says. “And of course there’s Interstate 75 – that’ll take you down to Florida.” Thompson Bridge Road is also the quickest route to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
