What $459,900 Buys in the Archer High School District
By Rob Dietrich, REALTOR · eXp Realty, LLC
The question comes up constantly: what does a five-bedroom home in the Archer High School district actually cost in Dacula? Right now, the answer at 2635 Ridge Manor Dr is $459,900, and the list of what that buys is worth spelling out.
The home was built in 2021, which matters in a market where buyers often choose between older homes and new construction priced higher. It offers approximately 3,700 square feet of living space across two levels: five bedrooms, four and a half baths, a dedicated main-level office, a separate dining room, and an oversized theater and bonus room upstairs.
The checklist, room by room
Main level: a family room with a fireplace, an open kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a large island, and a breakfast area, plus a guest bedroom and a full bath. Upper level: a primary suite with a private bathroom and oversized walk-in closet, additional bedrooms, laundry, and the approximately 467-square-foot bonus room that buyers turn into a theater, a gym, or a second living room.
Outside: a fenced backyard, a covered patio, and an attached two-car garage, inside a gated community with a pool, tennis courts, and a playground. For a family that wants the amenities without the maintenance of a private pool, that combination is hard to beat at this price point.
The rate environment changes the math
The purchase price is only half the story. At a 3.125% interest rate, the monthly payment on a home under $460,000 looks very different than it does at higher rates, which is why this price point is drawing serious attention from move-up buyers. Financing details depend on your situation, your down payment, and current market conditions, so the number to get is the one for your own scenario.
If you have been watching the Archer High area and waiting for a five-bedroom home under $460,000 with a real office, a real bonus room, and a gated community behind it, this is the listing to see in person. The photos tell you the layout; a tour tells you whether it is home.
