Gainesville Real Estate | Gainesville Homes for Sale

Welcome to Gainesville

Along the northeastern shores of the resplendent Lake Lanier, the peaceful city of Gainesville provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of South Lake. With an adorable downtown that’s blossoming thanks to a huge renovation of “the fourth side of the square,” Gainesville continues to foster a lively community spirit.

Gainesville Real Estate in within the seat of Hall County, and residents will readily tell you of its status as “Poultry Capital of the World” due to its large number of processing plants. Established in the early 19th century, Gainesville has since become recognized for its all-in attitude, charming downtown square, and the only private waterfront country club on Lake Lanier: The Chattahoochee Country Club.

The varied architectural styles of homes in Gainesville mean this enchanting town offers both luxury and practicality — whatever your Lake Lanier lifestyle requires, Gainesville Real Estate can accommodate it. From the new condos popping up downtown to the grand estates just steps from the water, Gainesville impresses from every avenue. While there are plenty of historic and mid-century homes, the bulk of properties in Gainesville are relatively new and come with modern, high-end amenities.

Local Lifestyle

The Square — Gainesville’s upbeat pulse — is the place to be for locals and visitors alike when they’re not out on the waters of Lake Lanier. Featuring restaurants, independent shops, a seasonal farmers market, and yearly events, The Square functions as the epicenter for all things social and fun. And for Gainesville residents, community fun is a year-round affair.

Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping

Downtown and the effervescent Gainesville Square contain a bevy of popular restaurants and boutiques. Shop the carefully curated apparel at places like Dress Up and Image Boutique, or find the perfect gift and one-of-a-kind local items at locations such as Upsy Daisy and Purchase Effect.

When in search of the perfect venue for a romantic evening or special occasion, residents often turn to the array of fine dining restaurants on the square. The warm, intimate environment of Scott’s Downtown is topped off with a decadent menu of American eats, while YellowFin is the expert on all things seafood in their rustic-chic venue. Longstreet Cafe is a classic local favorite and a must-try, as is Inman Perk Coffee Shop.

Things to Do

Exploring downtown is an adventure in and of itself, especially thanks to fun amenities such as the free Downtown Getaround shuttle service and the Lunchtime Trolly. Locals have their pick of options for relaxation in and outside of the water, including spots like The Spa on Green Street. For sports enthusiasts, there’s the endless opportunity of Lake Lanier Olympic Park, which has hosted several Olympic events. Laurel Park is brimming with play equipment and sports fields and even includes a summer splash pad and year-round dog park — all on the lake.

On the water, there’s no shortage of entertainment. Head to the marinas of Lake Lanier, and you’ll encounter the area’s hottest hangouts and eateries, such as Skogies Lakefront Restaurant at Gainesville Marina and Pelican Pete’s restaurant by boat at Port Royale Marina. The Chattahoochee Country Club is located on the lake as well, and its amenities include tennis courts, swimming pools, on-site dining, fitness facilities, and golf.

The town frequently hosts events and celebrations in The Square and on Lake Lanier. Several of the most anticipated festivals and events include:

Beach Bash
