Teeming with antebellum Victorians, Greek Revival-style mansions and other historic houses, Newnan has earned the nickname “The City of Homes.” In fact, a sign atop the Newnan Carnegie Library downtown proudly proclaims it. Established in 1828, Newnan has six historic districts, all listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including its walkable downtown. Since 2000, this city 40 miles from downtown Atlanta has nearly tripled in size, and now counts a population of over 45,000. And while that recent growth has resulted in new residential and commercial development, it still has that small-town feel. "Newnan is for people looking for a more peaceful city than Atlanta," says longtime resident Michael McHenry. "Most of us spend our free time shopping at Ashley Park, playing a game of pickleball at The Hop or maybe grabbing a drink at The Alamo downtown."
This Newnan Greek-revival style home can be found on the former College Temple campus.

Historic homes and new builds in Newnan
The median sales price in Newnan is around $380,000, lower than the Atlanta median of $412,000. Beverly Ferrell, a Realtor with Southern Real Estate Properties, says the prices and variety of housing options are part of the city’s appeal. “We have everything from townhomes to homes with large tracts of land,” says Ferrell, who grew up in Newnan. “You can buy a home sitting on 25 acres if that’s what you want. We have a diverse portfolio that a lot of areas don’t have.”
Buyers can find newly constructed townhomes in the Nickel Creek subdivision from $325,000 to $350,000 and contemporary homes in the Summergrove neighborhood for $350,000 to $450,000. Historic homes can range from around $500,000 for 100-year-old Craftsman bungalows to over $1 million for turn-of-the-century Greek Revival-style mansions. “We are one of the few cities that was actually spared when Sherman marched across Georgia,” Ferrell says. “We have many pre-Civil War homes here.” The Coweta County Visitors Center gives out self-guided driving tour maps directing people to more than 50 historic homes around Newnan.

Boutique shops downtown and major department stores at Ashley Park
Independent shops and restaurants occupy the historic buildings in downtown Newnan. The Alamo operated as a movie theater in the early 1900s and is now a popular spot for cocktails and live music. “I remember growing up, there were a lot of empty stores downtown, and now as soon as one moves out, another one moves in,” Ferrell says. “It’s a very vibrant area.”
Three miles from downtown, Ashley Park shopping center has a 14-screen cinema and department stores like Belk and Dillard's. Chain retailers, eateries and grocery stores are concentrated along Bullsboro Drive, the city’s main thoroughfare. Iconic dining establishments include Sprayberry’s Barbecue, just north of downtown. “It’s been family-owned and -operated since 1926,” Ferrell says. “When my cousins come here from Texas, the first thing they want to do is get Sprayberry’s.”

The Coweta County School System gets high marks
The Coweta County School System serves Newnan, earning an overall A-minus from Niche. The district operates 19 elementary, seven middle and three high schools. Newnan High, known for its nationally ranked gymnastics team, is considered the third-best high school in the county by Niche and scores a B-plus grade. Famous alumni include country singer Alan Jackson, who grew up in Newnan. The school district is one of the city’s top employers.
Newnan has four distinct seasons, marked by hot and humid summers and mild winters. Extreme weather events are rare, but a tornado hit the high school in 2021, costing $110 million to rebuild. “The tornado was just one of those odd things that came through,” Ferrell says.
