Tryon Development Area - Market Demand
Introduction
The 2017 Fulton County Housing Strategy prepared by Asterhill Community Planning and Development, an independent professional expert, calculated the demand for housing among current residents countywide and in eight sub-markets. The projected demand can be met through small projects in many places and/or in larger mixed-use neighborhoods in the Hales Mills, Vail Mills and Tryon Development Areas.
County Demand for New Housing
Today
Based on the Fulton County Housing Strategy, just over 570 Fulton County households, including nearly 1,400 people, have a current demand for up to 345 new owner-occupied housing units and 220 new renteroccupied units.
2025
By 2025, total housing demand as a result of potential population increase could support 535 owner occupied and 400 renter-occupied units.
Key factors supporting the demand for new housing in Fulton County

-
There is a growing demand from the existing base of 3,450 seasonal households and new second homeowners seeking vacation retreats.
