Of course Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which is undergoing a $6-billion expansion, remains a magnet for development on a massive scale with so much undeveloped land nearby. This land – and more farther southwest – is some of the most affordable in the metro area and includes frontage along the Chattahoochee River as it winds through Fulton and Coweta counties. The unspoiled beauty of the region inspired Atlanta restaurateur Steve Nygren to develop Serenbe, one of the nation’s greatest conservation communities, less than 30 minutes away in the heart of a 40,000-acre forest in south Fulton County.
