Older neighborhoods, clear answers.
Clayton County has some of the oldest housing in our service area. About 35% of its homes were built before 1980, and in Forest Park and Morrow the share is much higher. Older homes can be excellent buys, and a thorough inspection shows you exactly where the money will need to go.

Clayton County is in EPA Radon Zone 2, the moderate predicted radon potential category on the EPA map. In UGA Extension data covering tests from 1990 through 2022, 91 of 607 tests, or 15.0%, were at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Levels vary from house to house, even next door, so testing during due diligence is the only way to know a specific home's level.
