Small-town life in the shadow of Stone Mountain
The 1,680-foot-tall Stone Mountain attracts four million visitors every year, but the surrounding city of Stone Mountain has an identity beyond the park. Part of the Atlanta metro, Stone Mountain offers a distinct lifestyle from the metropolis 20 miles to the west. “Living in downtown Atlanta my adult life, you don’t say ‘Hi’ to people walking down the street,” says Keller Williams Realty Metro Atlanta Realtor Katherine Meers, who grew up in Stone Mountain and lives in the city today. “People in Stone Mountain know each other if they’re active in the community.” Residents of Stone Mou
A complicated past at Stone Mountain Park
Stone Mountain Park isn’t just one of the top recreation options in the city; it's one of the most visited in the state. Outdoor enthusiasts can hike its 15 miles of trails, including the path to the top of the mountain. Others may ride the cable car to the top, saving their energy for the rock walls or miniature golf course. For more than 50 years, Stone Mountain’s surface has borne carvings of three Confederate figures: Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. The mountain was even used for Ku Klux Klan rituals in the 20th century. Demonstrators against and in support of the Confederate carvings have flocked to Stone Mountain on multiple occasions. Though the community has a controversial past, Meers says residents today work to create a new identity. “A lot of why this community has become so close-knit is to paint a different perception.”
Laser light shows on Stone Mountain
A major festival comes to Stone Mountain Park nearly every month of the year. For example, thousands of visitors come in October to listen to bagpipes, eat Scottish food and celebrate Scottish culture at the 50-year-old Stone Mountain Highland Games. Since 1983, laser light shows have been beamed onto the side of the mountain on select nights, creating the equivalent of a 5,500-inch TV screen. Locals show up far in advance to claim a spot for Tunes by the Tracks, a weekly outdoor concert series along Main Street.
Barbecue and live music at Cherokee Rose
Main Street is the spot to sample local food and drink. The 185-year-old city’s downtown is an amalgamation of brick, wood and stone storefronts. Inside are a mix of small establishments that include Outrun Brewing Co., The Vibrary Wine & Bookbar and Pi-bytes dessert shop. Cherokee Rose is one of the most popular dining spots in Stone Mountain, Meers says. The barbecue restaurant and bar maintains a casual atmosphere, with musicians playing throughout the week. Shopping centers along Memorial Drive contain supermarkets, department stores and a Walmart.
Single-family dominant housing market
Stone Mountain’s 45,000 homes are primarily single-family detached houses. Older ranch homes and bungalows surround the downtown, but houses are largely in subdivisions. There, ranch homes, split-levels and colonial-inspired modern traditional designs are common. Houses are often perched along winding streets under clusters of pines. The median sales price is $270,000, though prices for move-in-ready homes range from the low $200,000s to the high $700,000s.
STEM program at Stone Mountain Middle School
Stone Mountain is part of the DeKalb Country School District. Students attending public school can progress through the pipeline of Stone Mountain Elementary School, Stone Mountain Middle School and Stone Mountain High School. Niche gives all three schools grades of C-minus. Kids at Stone Mountain Middle School with high enough test scores can join its STEM program. Students may attend one of the nearby charter or private schools, such as B-rated Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School 10 miles away.
Getting around Atlanta
Residents primarily get around by car. Interstate 285, which encircles the Atlanta metro, runs through the city. One downside of Stone Mountain is it’s further from Atlanta than many DeKalb County communities. Residents spend an average of 34 minutes commuting to work, according to Census data. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest airport, is 28 miles away.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
