Happy New Year! As we start the year off on this the first Wednesday of 2012, the spotlight shines on the city of ATLANTA! This includes homes mostly in FULTON County, with some addresses in Dekalb and Cobb Counties too.
Atlanta is the most populous city in the state of Georgia.
According to the 2010 census, Atlanta's population is 420,003. Atlanta is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metro area, which is home to 5,268,860 people and is the ninth largest metropolitan area in the United States. Atlanta is the county seat of Fulton County, and a small portion of the city extends eastward into Dekalb County too. A small number of Cobb County addresses are counted as Atlanta addresses too.
Today, Atlanta is a major business city and the primary transportation hub of the Southeastern United States (via highway, railroad, and air), with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport earning the distinction of being the world's busiest airport since 1998. With a gross domestic product (GDP) of US$270 billion, Atlanta's economy ranks 15th among world cities and sixth in the nation.
The city is a center for services, finance, information technology, government, and higher education. Atlanta contains the country's third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies, and more than 75 percent of Fortune 1000 companies have business operations in the metropolitan area. Metro Atlanta is the world headquarters of corporations such as The Coca - Cola Company, Turner Broadcasting, The Home Depot, AT&T Mobility, UPS and Delta Air Lines. Atlanta is also home to CNN. As of 2010, Atlanta is the seventh most visited city in the United States, welcoming over 35 million domestic and overseas visitors per year. Atlanta is renowned for its robust cultural institutions, which draw creative people and audiences to the city for theater, the visual arts, and music.
Geographically, the city is marked by its mild weather, rolling hills, and a dense tree coverage that is unique among major U.S. cities. Gentrification of Atlanta's neighborhoods, initially spurred by the 1996 Olympic Games, has intensified in the 21st century, altering the city's demographics, culture, and image.
As I write this, it might interest you to know that today, there is a total of 45,448 single family homes actively listed and on the market in the entire Atlanta metro area including the city of Atlanta. That's down from a total of 52,587 on November 9, 2011.

This gated and secure palatial masterpiece, with a premier address on West Paces Ferry Road offers 9 bedrooms with 11 full and 4 half bathrooms, gilded elegance, marble floors, theater, pool, 4+ car garage, on more than 2 acres and amenities too numerous to mention.
