Canton has grown so much in the last 20 years. I’ve lived here for most of my life and I remember when the only thing to do was go to the bowling alley. Now, there’re a ton of shopping, restaurants, bars, and events. Downtown Canton itself still has the small town vibe if you’re looking for something cute like that.
The only downside Canton has is the traffic. It’s definitely not anything close to Atlanta traffic, but it’s still not the best!

Canton is a beautiful mix between suburbs, rural, and downtown areas. I moved to Canton four years ago and have fallen in love with the perfect variety of landscapes, housing styles, stores, and restaurants. The town is small enough to see a familiar face everyday, but big enough to be able to explore a new place constantly. It's just in reach of Atlanta without the city traffic or air quality, and just close enough to the countryside that you can enjoy the forests and rolling hills and the view of the mountains. Canton is a beautiful, friendly, welcoming, and rapidly developing.
Canton is a suburb just outside Atlanta, GA. Canton has a diverse population, diverse landscape and accommodations. The development of, what used to be a very rural area, is exploding with life! In the past year alone, multiple businesses and housing developments have been added as this is a sought after area. We are blessed to have acreage that gives our family lots of space to enjoy while only being minuets away from major shopping and exploration! Our charming downtown area is a perfect place for all, including historical sites, unique shopping and attractions, as well as, a community inclusive to all residents and visitors. The mountain backdrops are easily viewed and hold a "picture perfect" experience for those who desire the feeling of space, beauty and adventure. Canton is a "community minded" suburb attracting economical growth and family oriented involvement. While there is plenty of "hustle and bustle", there is a special kind of beauty throughout for nature lovers.
