Dunlap mixes commercial amenities and wide open nature
Dunlap is encircled by state parks and nature preserves, but it also has a robust downtown mix of shops and schools, resulting in a rural lifestyle with suburban tendencies. These commercial destinations are largely centered around Route 127, also known as Rankin Avenue. "Dunlap has little stores, run by the locals, as do Dayton and Jasper, so you have plenty places to shop and eat if you want to stay local," says Realtor Gloria Page, who's been working in the area over a decade, and is currently with Keller Williams and Zach Taylor Real Estate. "One of the notable residential developments in Dunlap is called Greenfields, which is a based on custom built homes and mountain views. You'll have neighbors but not a postage stamp lot."
Mountain views from the front yard
