Toccoa is a small city in northeastern Georgia nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This small town of about 9,000 offers such a beautiful setting, including a waterfall bigger than Niagara Falls, that it has been the site of seven movie shoots. But increasingly homebuyers are drawn to this community, which sits about 90 miles from Atlanta, for its home prices and thriving industry. The city's manufacturing sector produces plastics, automotive parts and furniture, while other top employers include Stephens County Hospital and the Fieldale Farms poultry plant.
Stephens County Hospital proudly stands as one of the larger employers in the vibrant Toccoa area.
Fieldale Farms provides plenty of job opportunities for residents in the Toccoa area.

Homes prices in Toccoa fall well below Atlanta's median
Toccoa's median home price is $250,000, significantly lower than Atlanta's. "Toccoa is an area that hasn't fully developed yet, but growth is on the horizon," says Andrea Anderegg, Realtor and owner of Adams Realty. Anderegg has been selling homes in the area for 13 years. "Now is an ideal time to invest, as home values are expected to rise." Currahee Club is a sought-after gated community with 1,200 homes on Lake Hartwell with amenities including a 48,000-square-foot clubhouse and golf course.

Historic Ritz Theatre is the soul of downtown
Renovations at The Historic Ritz Theatre have returned its Art Deco façade and marquee to their 1930s glory. The previously dilapidated structure now annually hosts over 100 shows. Live performances are also frequent at the Tugalo Street greenspace, while the Toccoa Symphony Orchestra plays at varying locations. The city allows public consumption in the entertainment district that surrounds the theater. The Currahee Vineyards is known for its mountain views and award-winning selections and wine slushies. "Toccoa strikes a unique balance. While it's a small town, it's big enough to offer some of the national stores that people need and yet have the small-town convenience and uniqueness," Anderegg says.
Doyle Street in downtown Toccoa is a beloved destination for dining, shopping, and so much more.

Amtrak's Crescent line has two daily stops in Toccoa. Atlanta and the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport are reachable via Interstate 85. Athens, home of the University of Georgia, is 51 miles away. Anderegg says the city sits on the outskirts of the Atlanta suburbs. "This offers a balance of commutability and affordability."

Toccoa's climate brings four seasons
The city has hot summers, mild winters and cool springs and falls. "Toccoa offers the charm of all four seasons, which many people appreciate," Anderegg says. "It's a perfect spot for those looking for a climate that's not too extreme. Nestled in the mountains, it doesn't see heavy snow often, but when it does, it's a beautiful sight — and it doesn't stick around for too long."
According to Georgia Bureau of Investigation statistics, Stephens County's crime rate per 1,000 residents rose 15% from 2022 to 2023. The rate in Fulton County in northeast Atlanta more than doubles Stephens County's.
