Market Overview
Henry County sits on I-75 south of Atlanta, with four cities: McDonough, Stockbridge, Hampton and Locust Grove. The median list price was $372,250 in September 2026 (Realtor.com, Sept 2026).
Henry County lies south of Atlanta on the I-75 corridor. I-75 is the main route north, running through Stockbridge, McDonough and Locust Grove. Stockbridge is the northern end of the county and the closest to Atlanta. McDonough is in the middle, and Hampton and Locust Grove are on the southern side. The Atlanta Regional Commission reports a mean travel time to work of 33 minutes for county residents (2022). That figure covers all jobs, not just trips to downtown Atlanta or Hartsfield-Jackson. Buyers should test their own commute at rush hour before choosing a street.
The median list price was $372,250 in September 2026, up 1.4% from September 2025 (Realtor.com, Sept 2026). There were 1,348 active listings, and 22% had a price reduction. Listings spent a median of 63 days on market, 7.0% fewer than a year earlier. The median value of owner-occupied homes was $313,900 (Census, 2020-2024). That is an owner estimate, not a sale or list price, so it measures something different. About 74.9% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (Census, 2020-2024), so this is mostly an ownership market.
Henry County Schools is the 8th largest school district in Georgia. It serves nearly 42,000 students across 53 schools, according to the district's website. Families should look up the assigned schools for any specific address, since zones matter more than county averages. McDonough has been the county seat since 1823 and is built around its downtown square. Median household income was $83,146 (Census, 2020-2024).
The Census estimates 264,922 residents as of July 2025. That is up 24,236, or 10.1%, from the 2020 base. By people added, Henry ranks among the top six metro Atlanta counties. By percent growth, it sits near the middle of the metro. The Atlanta Regional Commission lists Piedmont Henry Hospital, Luxottica and PVH Corp. among the county's large employers. Agents pricing listings should note that 22% of listings had a price reduction (Realtor.com, Sept 2026).
