Why Build in Ball Ground
The TIH Perspective on Ball Ground.
Buyers come to Ball Ground for acreage, mountain views, and the historic downtown. The 30107 ZIP code is one of the most BOL-friendly in our service area — large rural-residential lots are still common, and many have been held by the same family for two or three generations.
TIH history in Ball Ground runs deep. We designed and built the original Lantern Walk Townhomes community here. The Lantern Walk floor plan (still available in our legacy archive) takes its name from this development. Beyond the townhomes, we have built dozens of single-family custom homes on private lots throughout the Ball Ground area.
The Ball Ground city limits have a Historic Overlay District with architectural review requirements. We have worked with the city on multiple projects and know what passes review. Outside the historic district, in unincorporated Cherokee County around Ball Ground, the rules are more flexible and the lots are bigger
