About Snellville
Where is Snellville, GA — and why do buyers pick southern Gwinnett?
Snellville is a family-oriented suburb in southern Gwinnett County on U.S. Highway 78, about 25 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. ZIPs are 30039 and 30078. Buyers come for single-family yards, Brookwood and South Gwinnett school access, and pricing that still undercuts closer-in Gwinnett and DeKalb.
From trade-store crossroads to US-78 suburb
Settled in the 1870s and incorporated in 1923, Snellville grew along the Scenic Highway into one of metro Atlanta’s steadiest family suburbs. The Shoppes at Webb Gin and the US-78 commercial strip handle daily retail. The trade-off vs Loganville or Grayson is denser traffic on 78 — drive it at rush hour before you buy.
