Located in Jones County
With a population of about 3,500, Gray offers a small-town atmosphere with a growing downtown district, a respected school district, and new residential development. Locals can eat, shop, worship and play without leaving town, but residents aren’t far from Macon and Interstates 75 and 16 for employment and entertainment.
Gray has seen a surge in residential development since the early 2000s, although some of the area’s oldest homes in the Old Clinton Historic District date back to the early 19th and 20th centuries. Residential housing has expanded on the outskirts of town with new housing additions like Cedar Springs, Stone Brook, and the gated Piedmont Lake community. Some subdivisions have HOA fees. Gray has a median price of about $300,000, higher than the Macon median of about $200,000. Smaller homes can cost between $100,000 and $250,000, while larger houses and newer builds in subdivisions range from $250,000 to $375,000. The area’s most expensive homes tend to be 2000s-era builds with four or more bedrooms and can cost between $400,000 to nearly $500,000.
Kids can attend schools in the Jones County School System, which has an enrollment of about 5,200 students and receives a B grade from Niche. Gray Elementary School, Gray Station Middle School and Jones County High School all are rated B. High schoolers can participate in the Jones County College and Career Academy and earn technical college credit and industry-recognized credentials. The academy offers 27 career, technical and agricultural education (CTAE) pathways.
Downtown Gray has slowly grown over the years, and residents can now walk, shop and dine on Clinton Street and Atlanta Road. Pickle Barrel Café and Sports Pub is a beloved local spot for American fare in a laid-back atmosphere, while Bent Axle Neighborhood Grille serves up cocktails and comfort food in a converted gas station. Hand-dipped ice cream and specialty drinks are on the menu at Cone Crazy on Main, and Old Clinton Barbecue House dishes out smoky meat platters and Brunswick stew. One unique spot is Treasure by the Tracks, an antique store with a café known for its chicken salad sandwiches. Groceries are available at Harveys and Ingles.
Carol’s Park is near the heart of the downtown area. The pocket park and green space has benches and picnic tables, as well as a gazebo that sets a romantic setting for outdoor weddings and prom pictures. About 5 miles away, Lake Jonesco Golf Course has an 18-hole course that’s open to the public. Gray-8-Skate Family Entertainment Center has fun for the whole family with a roller skating rink, an arcade, an indoor playground and more. Most county youth league baseball and softball games are played at the Jones Recreation Complex just outside of town. Downtown Macon is alive with music every day of the week, and Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park is poised to become Georgia’s first national park.
Fridays on Main brings locals downtown on the last Saturday of the month to support local businesses, grab a bite from food trucks and enjoy live music. The Gray-Jones County Chamber of Commerce hosts the Independence Day Extravaganza with fireworks, music and kids activities. The community’s Civil War history is on display during the Old Clinton War Days, an annual weekend-long event with historical reenactments and modern-day vendors in the Old Clinton Historic District.
There’s no public transportation, so residents are car-dependent. Macon, Interstate 16 and the closest emergency room at Piedmont Macon are about 15 miles away. Drivers can hop on Interstate 75 from Forsyth, about 30 miles away, and reach Atlanta within an hour and a half.
