30742, Fort Oglethorpe, GA

Fort Oglethorpe is a small town in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The 30742 zip code covers a small part of Fort Oglethorpe, including the town center and some surrounding neighborhoods. As of 2016, the median home value in this zip code was $191,000. This is significantly lower than the median home value in Atlanta as a whole ($305,000). However, it is still higher than most zip codes in Georgia.

One reason for this discrepancy may be that Fort Oglethorpe is an older community. Many homes here were built before 1970, and they may not have been updated since then. Additionally, many homes here are single-family dwellings rather than multifamily units or condos. This means that there are fewer potential buyers who can drive up prices.

On the other hand, Fort Oglethorpe has good access to major highways and public transportation. It is also close to several shopping centers and restaurants. So even if there are few buyers available to drive up prices, people living here can still afford high-priced homes if they want to buy one.
