About the area
The historic center along the railroad keeps its nineteenth-century character, with older homes and storefronts. Around it, Norcross has dense neighborhoods and many apartment communities along Buford Highway, Jimmy Carter Boulevard and I-85. The city sits on the eastern continental divide: streams on one side drain to the Chattahoochee, on the other to the Yellow River. Gwinnett Fire Station 11 is on Live Oak Parkway, and Norcross has its own police department.

Common questions
Are historic homes in Norcross harder to dry?
They can be. Older homes may have plaster walls, solid wood floors, crawl spaces and older plumbing. Plaster dries more slowly than drywall and is harder to replace, so providers often dry it in place with careful monitoring. Ask the company about experience with older construction before work starts.
Which way does storm water drain in Norcross?
Norcross sits on the eastern continental divide. Streams on the west side of the city center flow toward the Chattahoochee River and the Gulf of Mexico, while streams on the east flow to the Yellow River and eventually the Atlantic. Low ground along either set of streams can see flooding in extreme rain.
