Columbus GA Bedroom Communities - Midland, Fortson, Cataula, and Ellerslie

       As in most metropolitan areas the land has become so valuable that if you want to live on a piece of land larger than a postage stamp you will have to live outside Columbus.    The areas to the north of Columbus have become bedroom communities for this reason.   Midland as well as the communities in South Harris County like Ellerslie, Cataula, and Fortson GA are prime bedroom communities for Columbus.  
       Midland is the most northern part of Muscogee Co. bordering Harris Co.  As a community it is one of the more affluent parts of the Columbus  and has some of the top schools  as well.   Many of the subdivisions in Midland are on 1 acre lots as opposed to the postage stamp sized lots in most of Columbus. 
     Ellerslie, Cataula, and Fortson are all in Harris County and connected by Hwy 315 which runs east to west at the southern part of Harris County.   The new zoning in Harris Co. only allows lots of 2 acres or more.  Some of the grandfathered subdivisions have 1 acre lots.   The larger lot size creates an environment where only higher priced homes can be constructed because of the cost of the land. 
      Some of these areas are beautiful with wooded lots and a rural feel.   A homeowner can have the best of both worlds by living in the “country” only 15 minutes out of Columbus.  We have found that our clients searching for a home in Columbus GA find these areas very attractive.

Nice post, how about a link for the Midland Chamber of Commerce, or the official City website for readers to glance at (for authority purposes)?

I have a question, what is a bedroom community?

Morgan, A bedroom community is an area where there is little or no industry so people live in this area (Midland Ga)and work in another area (Columbus GA)
