During the late 1800s, Irish immigrants moved to the South Atlanta area and set up a small residential area in present day Fayette County. They began building businesses and homes, some of which still stand today. As a matter of fact, some of the homes in the area still belong to the descendants of the original families who built them. By 1907, a railroad passed through town, and in 1911, Tyrone became incorporated. The immigrants named it Tyrone because the landscape reminded them of the County of Tyrone back home in Ireland.
While Tyrone has its fair share of historic homes, it also has a great deal of new construction. Two-story traditional brick and Southern-style homes with rocking chair front porches are common, as are large European-style estates. Because there is so much undeveloped countryside in Tyrone, many houses sit against wooded backdrops and on beautifully landscaped lots. Whatever style you choose, expect quality craftsmanship in Tyrone.
Homes in Tyrone range from $100,000 up to the multi-millions, but the majority of them fall between $200,000 and $500,000. The median home value is around $224,000, and that number is on the rise making now a great time to buy.
