Euharlee is a rural town with historic sights that is ready to expand
Euharlee bridges the gap between the old and the new. The town of around 4,500 people was built around the Burges Mill in the 1840s, and many of its commercial buildings reflect that period. Its biggest attraction, the Euharlee Creek Covered Bridge, still stands and brings visitors from across the region. The area does not want to be stuck in the past. Most of its housing was built in the last 30 years, and the community has added ball fields and restaurants to increase its residents’ quality of life. “It’s up and coming,” says Mike Stott, a co-owner of Stott Homes. “It has good access to the interstate and lower prices than other areas.” Nearby Cartersville is bringing more than 1,500 jobs to the region with a Hanwa Qcells solar panel factory, but it lacks space for more homes. Stott said he expects many of those workers to land in Euharlee and believes its population could double in the next decade.
New Traditional homes have below-median prices and sit on large lots
The community is full of traditional and New Traditional homes that can sit on lots of a half-acre or more. The median sale price is about $330,000, well below the U.S. median. It is also less expensive than other parts of the Northwest Atlanta region. “A $500,000 home in Canton would be around $325,000 in Euharlee,” Stott says. Properties north of Euharlee Road, the town’s main street, tend to be more expensive. Though the community is mainly car-dependent, sidewalks sit along main streets and within subdivisions. The area has a CAP Index crime score of 3 out of 10, slightly below the national average of 4.
Anna's Mexican Bar & Grill, plus restaurants and shops in nearby Cartersville
Anna’s Mexican Bar & Grill serves traditional entrees in a casual environment. Other restaurants are in Cartersville, around 8 miles east. There, Sixes Tavern mixes American food with live music on the weekend, while Largos’ menu takes inspiration from Northern California’s wine country.
Euharlee has a Dollar General and a Jo-Jo's Market for pantry goods. Cartersville has larger grocery and retail stores. The Euharlee Farmer’s Market is held on Wednesdays from June through August outside the Emmie Nelson Library. Euharlee Baptist Church has a food distribution service, among other community initiatives.
Bartow County Schools and a medical research magnet program
Students are served by Bartow County Schools. They can attend Euharlee Elementary School, which holds a B-plus Niche grade. Woodland Middle School also earns a B-plus. Woodland High School students can enroll in the Center for Advanced Studies in Medical Science, a magnet program. The school receives a B.
Enjoy ball fields, tennis courts and disc golf, or camp at Frankie Harris Park
Joe Cowan Park often hosts baseball and softball tournaments, but it also has basketball courts, a disc golf course, tennis courts, walking paths, and a playground. Frankie Harris Park has more than 25 RV campsites and electrical hook-ups, plus a farmhouse-style bathhouse and picnic areas. Though Osborne Park is closed for renovations, its kayak launch remains open, letting residents travel down Euharlee Creek and under the Covered Bridge. The Emmy Nelson Public Library offers STEAM programming for teens and various classes for adults.
Food Truck Fridays and the Euharlee Covered Bridge Fall Festival
The Euharlee Covered Bridge Fall Festival, held annually over two days at Frankie Harris Park, blends live music, food, kids activities and a 5K race. Starting each May, the park hosts a monthly Food Truck Friday event throughout the summer. The town throws a Christmas parade each December.
Access to State Route 113 and Hartsfield-Jackson International
Georgia State Route 113 runs south of the town. Downtown Atlanta is about a 50-mile drive, while Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is close to 60 miles away. Georgia Power operates Euharlee's Plant Bowen, a coal-fired power station. The facility's smokestacks are monitored to ensure they meet air quality standards.
