Canton
Living in Canton
Canton is a vibrant community in Cherokee County that offers a welcoming blend of charm, progressive spirit and endless opportunities for all. Canton has grown significantly as the suburbs of Atlanta have expanded northward, and is currently experiencing a period of great population growth (it nearly tripled between 2000 and 2010). This increase is fueled in part by buyers wanting space to spread out and have some acreage. From chicken coops and small hobby farms all the way to equestrian estates, pastoral Canton provides abundant potential to create what property buyers are looking for.
Canton offers exciting and new possibilities for growth within an authentic, inviting community that deeply cares about the city’s future, and an unrivaled quality of life. Conveniently located between Atlanta and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Canton offers scenic views of foothills and the Etowah River, which flows through the City and boasts great shopping, dining, events, arts, and parks.
