Nestled in both Gwinnett and Hall counties, Buford combines historic charm with contemporary living. Founded in 1872 after a railroad connected Charlotte with Atlanta, this historic city transformed from "The Leather City" - known for its leather and saddle production - into a well-established suburban community. Apartments in Buford offer access to Lake Lanier, the Mall of Georgia (Georgia's largest shopping center), and a downtown district featuring the Buford Community Center.
With average rent prices of $1,513 for a one-bedroom apartment, Buford offers competitive rates compared to other Atlanta suburbs. The city maintains its own school district and sits conveniently near Interstates 85 and 985, connecting residents to metro Atlanta employment centers. Residents enjoy recreation at Lake Lanier Islands, extensive shopping options, and cultural attractions like the historic Tannery Row Artist Colony, all while experiencing a more relaxed suburban setting.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
