Area Description
Snellville is a city in Gwinnett County, Georgia, United States, east of Atlanta. The population was 18,242 at the 2010 census, and in 2019 the estimated population was 20,077. It is a developed suburb of Atlanta and a part of the Atlanta metropolitan area and is located roughly 35–40 minutes east of Downtown Atlanta via US-78 and Interstate 285. The City of Snellville received its charter from the General Assembly of the State of Georgia in 1923. As of early 2011, new housing construction, much of it upscale, continues in Snellville and in areas of southern Gwinnett County carrying a Snellville address. This is the only area of metro Atlanta where this is occurring on such a large scale, despite the recession. Also, the upscale Governor's Walk neighborhood in Snellville went on to be completed after the recession was well under way. Though many of the spec homes in Governor's Walk went into repossession during the recession, all were bought and completed, or were in the process of being completed, as of January 2011. Lake Norris had new upscale construction going on as of January 2011 with two new homes under construction and several major remodelings in progress. There was abundant new construction occurring along Centerville Highway as well, as of January 2011. On Norris Lake Way, a collection of homes in the million-dollar range continued to sell as of 2011, making it one of the few areas of the metro where upscale new construction was still selling well. Snellville has one major hospital, Eastside Medical Center, formerly Emory Eastside Medical Center, which serves the southern Gwinnett County Region. Snellville is located in southern Gwinnett County. U.S. Route 78 runs through the center of the city, leading west 25 miles to downtown Atlanta and east 19 miles to Monroe. Georgia State Route 124 crosses US 78 in the center of Snellville, leading north 7 miles to Lawrenceville and south 13 miles to Lithonia. Some unincorporated areas in the eastern edge of DeKalb County and western Rockdale County have a Snellville mailing address but are not a part of the City of Snellville. According to the United States Census Bureau, Snellville has a total area of 10.6 square miles. The Snellville Days Festival is a two-day event held annually that draws crowds from all over the Southeast. The annual celebration is touted as being one of the top 20 tourism events in May according to the Southeastern Tourism Society, but still has a small-town flavor.
