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."
Irondale is located in Clayton County with a 2020 census population just under 9,000 residents.

Ranch homes to millenium mansions at reasonable rates
Situated in a primarily residential community, property lots are rectangular, with long front yards shaded by scattered tree lining. Home styles range from brick ranch homes and split-levels that offer garages to more recently built millennium mansions. Some newer communities offer amenities such as community pools and tennis courts. Potential homebuyers also have the opportunity to purchase modern townhouses. Based on square footage and condition, prices range from $210,000 to $460,000. “The market moves fast here because of the price point,” says Omar Lozana, a Realtor with Virtual Properties. “The city of Jonesboro has started to work on its infrastructure, and I think home values will start increasing here.”
