Woodstock is located in the southernmost part of Cherokee County, approximately 30 miles north of Atlanta and 12 miles south of Canton, the county seat.
Today Woodstock is the fastest growing city in Cherokee County. With the growth of Woodstock at 70% over the past 10 years, the city has doubled in size. Interstate 575 and Hwy. 92 run directly through the heart of Woodstock so there are unlimited possibilities for those who live and work in Cherokee County.
Most of Woodstock’s growth can be accredited to Towne Lake a 3,600 acre Master Planned Community with shopping, great schools, churches, dining-you name it! It’s one of Atlanta’s premier communities with homes ranging from the mid $100Ks to more than $1 million. There are approximately 5,600 homes in 18 unique neighborhoods with great amenities, pools, tennis courts, and playgrounds. Towne Lake also has many apartment, townhome and condominium complexes, which brings the total community to approximately 7,500 households.
Much of Towne Lake borders Lake Allatoona, one of the most frequently visited recreational lakes in the state of Georgia. Allatoona Lake features boating, fishing and water skiing, just a wealth of recreational and scenic amenities.
Lake Allatoona offers 12,000 acres of blue water to enjoy year round. There are 13 public beaches. Some are located within campgrounds, for extended stays. Swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, make Lake Allatoona one of the most visited US Army Corps of Engineer lakes in the world.
The Cherokee Outdoor YMCA is located on about 75 acres of the lake and offers a number of youth activities and day camps. Year long sports include spring/fall soccer, summer baseball, and winter basketball or cheerleading. Equine programs are also offered.
Towne Lake is located within an easy commute to Atlanta’s major corporate centers. It offers easy access to I575 and I75, which places it in the heart of Atlanta’s continuing northern growth corridor. Towne Lake has created a whole “new Towne” of shopping centers, daily services, medical facilities, restaurants, and entertainment centers in southwest Cherokee. We even have our own 16-screen movie theatre.
Interstate 575 runs north through the county, providing very easy access to the Atlanta business and employment markets and to wonderful shopping opportunities around Town Center Mall and the neighboring shopping district.
