Comfortable suburban living with a rich agricultural history

Georgia is part of the Freehold Township, a former farming district that has attracted settlers to the area since the 15th century with the promise of farmland. Today, the town continues to preserve this agricultural history with a mix of green spaces, homes and shops scattered throughout the community. “This is a one-size-fits-all kind of town,” says Kathleen Hobbs, a Realtor with RE/MAX Homeland, who’s been selling homes in the area for over 20 years. “You’re close to major highways, restaurants and parks. It’s a central location that you just can’t beat, so a lot of people who are raised here move back.” Residents enjoy comfortable suburban living on tree-lined streets, with nearby thoroughfares providing easy access to the rest of the Freehold Township and beyond.

Townhouses, ranch-style dwellings, and center hall Colonials

Georgia offers homebuyers a variety of housing styles and options, all located within the burgeoning Freehold Township. “The area is becoming more desirable,” says Hobbs. “Prices have come up and you can find newer homes and older homes with bigger lots.” In the heart of the neighborhood, homebuyers can find four-bedroom center hall colonial-style houses with up to two acres of land for $900,000 to $1.5 million. Further from the main road, ranch-style homes with modest lots sell for $200,000 to $400,000. In the northern corner of Georgia, Silvermead is a 55+ community with mobile homes and ranches that sell for $50,000 to $150,000. Homebuyers can also find three-bedroom townhomes for $350,000 to $550,000. The CAP Index gives the neighborhood a crime score of 2, which is below the national average of 4.
