Georgia land market report

Typical lot sizeThe typical lot, from the roll

The median parcel in Putney is 1.04 acres (1,521 parcels with a size).

Acres from the county roll (DeKalb County's open layer publishes none, so its acres are the parcel outline's); where the roll and the outline disagree by more than three times, the parcel page names both. Condominium units that share one point (each carrying the whole complex's acres) are left out of the lot sizes.
