The city of Stone Mountain is located in the northern region of the state of Georgia and is a small suburban area in the greater Atlanta Metropolitan area. The estimated population of the city is 7,145 residence and continues to grow at a steady rate. The area is named after a large granite dome, located in the Stone Mountain region.
The economic picture of the city relies heavily on tourism due in large part to the large influx of people moving through the community to see the national park and dome. The area is also famous for many large carvings meant to commemorate military leaders from the Southern region that date back to the Civil War. The area also has a great deal of architecture and buildings that reflect the long history of the city, bringing many people to visit annually. Job seekers looking for employment will find that the area doesn't necessarily have a rich and diverse amount of jobs to consider, but being near the greater Atlanta area helps those that are looking for vocations outside of tourism find working options.
For entrepreneurs and private professionals looking for office space and retail space in the greater Stone Mountain area, there are few options to take advantage of. The greater Atlanta area has many more commercial property options and many of those options start at around $1 a square foot for 1,000 square feet and more. While a recent survey did showcase some commercial real estate in the area, most office rental options were outside of the city center. Surveys of Stone Mountain office space vacancies found variable pricing options and results, giving entrepreneurs options that start at 100 sq ft, with prices at about $500 a month. Extra amenities (conference and meeting rooms, shared space, admin and receptionist, parking, furnished suites, etc.) can really push the rental rates up, and of course if you need 500, 1000, or more square feet to lease then be prepared to pay through the nose. We have executive suites for rent in nearby Class A and Class B office parks and business centers, so search through our Stone Mountain listings or just call us today and we'll take over from there. If you need a flexible lease then office space heaven can help, with temporary units, monthly rentals, and long term options, we can pretty much cater to any type of business (attorneys, accountants, agents, realtors, brokers, etc.). While commercial development has been slow in the area, there are some cheap deals available on office space in Stone Mountain so contact us today and move into your new office tomorrow. We also have office spaces for rent in nearby cities like Norcross, Dunwoody, Duluth, and Midtown Atlanta.
Education is key to any large area, and Atlanta has a lot of options. While the Stone Mountain city has major public schools and districts in the area, there are no higher learning centers in the city proper. Those looking to get an education from either a private or public institutions of higher learning, will find that options abound in the greater Atlanta area rather than Stone Mountain proper.
The climate and weather of the area is favorable and quite warm. Much like other parts of the state, the area receives moderate heat with moderate humidity attached and does not receive a large amount of extreme weather patterns, although it has been known to occur.
The local transportation and commuting options are pretty good in the Stone Mountain and Atlanta Metro area. Of course there is the Atlanta airport (which is great for clients who fly in) or the local transit system which works well for your employees who prefer not to drive to work.
