Located in the picturesque, wooded countryside just 20 miles Northeast of Atlanta, Smoke Rise is an upscale community developed in the 1960s. Today, this small community between Tucker and Stone Mountain has started to see more growth. "Smoke Rise is kind of a hidden gem," says Zachary Maxey, Realtor with Keller Williams Atlanta Perimeter. "It has timeless, classic subdivisions on the east side of Atlanta. Of late, a lot of commercial real estate has been being developed, which tells me developers think it is a growing residential area."
Large homes in established neighborhoods are abundant in the Smoke Rise area.
Smoke Rise is characterized by wide streets and large lots.

Ranches, split levels and newer modern farmhouses
Residential streets of Smoke Rise wind under old-growth trees in the rolling hills of Georgia's countryside. Brick-front ranch styles and split levels reflect the neighborhood’s original development in the 1960s. Modern farmhouses and Millennium Mansions are popular style choices for newly constructed homes. Buyers can expect a three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch to sell for under $400,000, while a new construction, four-bedroom modern farmhouse costs up to $725,000. Prices rise into the million-dollar range for larger millennium mansions. “It is a healthy market that is moving fast, thanks to the new commercial developments,” says Maxey.

Probst Park and other recreation options
Probst Park in Smoke Rise offers multiple forested walking trails through the community’s natural environment. Just outside the neighborhood, Stone Mountain Park spans 3,200 acres and is Georgia’s most trafficked tourist destination. Stone Mountain, which is technically a stone monadnock, stands over 800 feet tall and has a 90-foot-tall carving of Confederate leaders Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis on it. Local groups, like the Stone Mountain Action Coalition, have voiced opposition to the monument and called for the removal of Confederate names, flags and symbols around the park. As of early 2024, no changes have been made to existing legislation protecting the monument.
