Dacula Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Georgia

Located in the fastest growing area of Georgia, the dynamic city of Dacula straddles the Winder Highway and the Seaboard railroad in the “V” created by I-85 and Route 316. The city was named by former postmaster John W. Freeman, who suggested “Dacula” as a combination of “Decatur” and “Atlanta.” Today, nearly 4,500 Dacula residents enjoy small-town living and easy access to the Atlanta metropolitan area via I-85. Not only is Dacula strategically positioned half-way between cosmopolitan Atlanta and academic Athens, home of the University of Georgia, the city is also part of Gwinnett County Public Schools. More than 88% of all Gwinnett County seniors take the SAT college entrance exam and their average scores are consistently 10% higher than the national average. Industries that provide employment in Dacula include manufacturing, retail trade, construction and educational, health and social services. While Dacula is surrounded by exciting Gwinnett County attractions, such as Lake Lanier, Château Élan Winery and Resort and Stone Mountain Park, the Dacula Athletic Association provides an unparalleled recreational environment for city residents. Newly renovated Dacula Park sits on 51 pristine acres and hosts an outdoor pool, six softball/baseball fields, a freestanding football field, a picnic pavilion, two playgrounds, a 1.4 mile multi-purpose trail, a sand volleyball court and the Cleve Langley community room. Atlanta’s hotspots—including Turner Field, Centennial Olympic Park, and Atlanta Zoo—are less than an hour’s drive away. Real estate options in Dacula consist of single-family detached homes, estate properties, condominiums, townhouses and land lots.
