Residential community in Jonesboro about 20 miles south of Atlanta
A primarily residential community, Irondale is located just south of downtown Jonesboro, about 20 miles from Atlanta in Clayton County. Home to about 8,700 people, the community is sandwiched between Georgia Route 53 and U.S. Route 41, giving easy access to Atlanta and the Hartsfield Jackson Airport. Near Jonesboro, the real-life setting of “Gone with the Wind” provides community events and restaurants nearby. “The lots are larger, and the homes are bigger than if you were living in the city, but you aren’t paying city prices," says Angela Aull, a Realtor with HomeSmart. “You are less than a half an hour from Atlanta, but you’re in the suburbs. It’s an excellent place for anyone who wants to be close to the city but not in the city."
