Dixie is an established community in transition
The community of Dixie has become increasingly residential over the years, desirable for its location just a mile south of Marietta Square. "Historically, it grew up more as a commercial area," says local Realtor Tim Cowan of Keller Williams Realty Signature Partners. Cowan has sold homes across the region for over 18 years and lives in Marietta. Now, "a lot of the development happening in Smyrna is headed up toward the Dixie area. Location-wise, it's got a lot of potential to be a desirable place to live." New construction draws buyers as housing values remain under the greater Atlanta metro area.
Recent developments bring fresh housing options to Dixie including stylish townhomes with garagaes and modern interiors.
Powder Springs Street is a major thoroughfare in Dixie, connecting residents with a dining and shopping hub.
