Georgia House Plans

Traditional white painted-brick family home with dark shutters, a covered porch and tall oaks in Georgia

Georgia runs from the Appalachian foothills to the Atlantic marshes. Around Atlanta, new homes sit on rolling red clay and often have basements, while coastal homes deal with flood zones, salt air and hurricanes.

What to Plan for in Georgia

Take termites seriously

Warm, humid conditions make termites a serious threat. Plan for soil treatment and physical barriers.

Use sloping lots to advantage

North Georgia's terrain suits daylight basements, which add living space at a lower cost than building up.

Protect against moisture

Good drainage and vented or conditioned crawl spaces help prevent mold and rot in a humid climate.

Common Questions

Are basements common in Georgia?

They're common in metro Atlanta and North Georgia, especially on sloped lots, but much rarer near the coast because of high water tables.

What house style is popular in Georgia?

Traditional brick homes, modern farmhouses and Craftsman-influenced designs are all common, usually with large porches.

Do I need special construction for the Georgia coast?

Often, yes. Wind and flood rules are stricter in coastal counties. Check flood maps and local requirements before finalizing a plan.
