Real Estate ‘Heat Map’ details Coweta residential sales
Pictured above is a “Heat Map” of Coweta County Real Estate.

Real estate transactions vary by location in Coweta County. After all, the old mantra in real estate is “location, location, location.”
Have you ever thought about what this looks like in our area? Many people here know that the eastern, central and northern parts of our county are more heavily populated and developed. This leaves the western and southern areas of the county more rural and less developed.
The “heat map” above shows where all the active residential properties listed for sale in the last year in the Georgia Multiple Listing Service (GAMLS) are located.
As you can see, Newnan and the central part of the county are heavily populated with listings as is Senoia and the eastern area. The Thomas Crossroads and “Canongate” areas are popular as well. The popularity of these areas is reflected in the pricing as well. Home prices in these popular areas bring higher values and higher prices per square foot than the more rural locations.
These parts of the county are more densely populated partly because of zoning and local regulations as well as sewer and water access. Planning and zoning departments in cities like Newnan and Senoia allow for more dense development than a rural area of Coweta County. Having access to public water and sewer, as well as an appropriate road system, makes development more feasible than it would be out in the country.
Proximity to amenities, like healthcare, employers, and shopping, as well as easy access to I-85, are other factors in how densely populated an area is.
Living in a rural area is a desirable and peaceful choice for many people. The rustic and natural parts of our county are beautiful. There are still ample choices in where and how you wish to live in Coweta County, though our home is growing quickly.
