About Good Hope
Where is Good Hope, GA — and why is the ZIP bigger than the town?
Good Hope is a small incorporated town in northern Walton County (2020 Census population 339) about 7 miles from Monroe and about 18 miles from Athens. ZIP code 30641 stretches well beyond town limits into rural Walton — so “Good Hope” searches often return acreage tracts and custom homes, not just in-town streets.
Land-and-custom market
Buyers come for usable acreage, privacy and custom builds without Cherokee/Hall price premiums. Monroe supplies hospitals, downtown and most daily retail; Athens is a straight shot for UGA and healthcare. Starter subdivision product is scarce in 30641 — that’s why medians run higher than Monroe or Loganville.

Davis take: ZIP 30641 is much bigger than the town of Good Hope (~339 people in the 2020 Census). Acreage and custom product pull medians up. With only 10 sales in 90 days, do not over-read the 90-day median — lean on the 12-month sample and street-level comps.
