New homes in Buford, GA

Buford sits at the southern end of Lake Lanier, split between Gwinnett and Hall counties, about 38 miles northeast of Atlanta by road. I-985 and I-85 both serve the city, and most residents drive to work. Buford City Schools is a separate district from Gwinnett County Public Schools, and Niche ranked it the top district in Georgia for the twelfth straight year in its 2027 rankings; enrollment requires living inside the city limits. Downtown centers on Main Street, where the city hosts concerts and festivals and the historic Bona Allen Mansion stands at the street's edge. Buford Dam Park has a swim beach, picnic pavilions and lake views, and the Mall of Georgia adds shopping and an outdoor amphitheater. Arkan's Meadowbrook Manor offers new homes in that setting.
