Situated 25 miles west of downtown Atlanta, the Douglasville community of Anneewakee blends contemporary suburban living with a serene, natural landscape. Fittingly, its name stems from a Native American Creek word that conveys a deep relationship with the land. Much of the area is occupied by woodlands, lakefront and creek beds, but an ongoing wave of new residents has spurred the construction of modern homes. “That area is seeing a lot of growth in terms of housing. So many people are working remotely now, and they’re trying to get out of Atlanta,” says Cathye Dowda Cota, a Realtor with Keller Williams Cityside who used to live in Douglasville. “Tyler Perry is putting in a new movie studio in Douglasville called Lionsgate Studio. It’s already being built and it’s just a stone’s throw from this area. It’s 100 percent going to create a lot of job opportunities. It already has just with the construction.”
Residents can head to Bill Arp Rd for a variety of retail, shops, and restaurants.
