Ask Rob · Georgia Real Estate and the Corridor
Where is Rowen, Georgia?
The Short Answer
Where is Rowen, Georgia?
Rowen sits off Georgia Highway 316 on the Drowning Creek Road corridor in eastern Gwinnett County, east of Dacula and roughly midway between Atlanta and Athens, about 35 miles from downtown Atlanta. Dacula is the nearest town; Auburn and Winder sit close along the same corridor. The project is a highways-and-corridor story: 316 connects the eastern Gwinnett towns to the metro and to Athens.
Rob's Explanation
The 316 corridor anchors the project, which is why its housing conversation centers on Dacula, Auburn and Winder.
Location questions here are really corridor questions: 316 connects the eastern Gwinnett towns to the metro and to Athens.
What This Means in Georgia
Rowen sits on Gwinnett County land governed by the county, which keeps schools, taxes and services in the familiar Gwinnett system.
What I Would Consider
When weighing proximity, drive the corridor at your own hours; 316 traffic is real and varies by direction.
