Driving around Crisp County is sure to please any newcomer looking for a home here. A mixture of new and historical homes is readily available in many stylish neighborhoods.
The real estate market continues to expand with growth in several neighborhoods. Over the last five years there has been a growing demand for homes inside the city limits of Cordele. If it's an upscale home you're looking for then the neighborhoods of Whispering Pines, Cedar Lake, Wells Lake, Timberland, Highland Grange, and other impressive neighborhoods can tantalize your dreams. Middle income neighborhoods include Southern Terrace, Sunnybrook and Garven Gardens. New developments have opened home opportunities along Lake Blackshear, with an upscale flavor.

Clean country living is also available to those who want a little more space to raise a family. Acreage is readily available for creating that small family farm, or for just enjoying the outdoors.

Local real estate agents and homebuilders are available to help meet your need if you're interested in building or buying. Five financial institutions offer competitive rates and services to help with your home selection.

Cordele-Crisp County has a limited selection of rental properties available.

Quality housing choices along with superb schools and amenities give Crisp County a rare blend of large city services with small town appeal.
