The housing boom may be over, but “This Old House” editors have tracked down 51 great neighborhoods that have promising futures and homes that truly deserve a long-term commitment. So if you are looking for the great older neighborhood selected in Georgia, look no further than Newnan.

The Best Old-House Neighborhoods appear in the July/August issue, on newsstands June 29, and online at www.thisoldhouse.com/best-places.

 This Old House scoured the United States, and for the first time, Canada, to find unique, tight-knit neighborhoods for their second annual search for the best old-house neighborhoods. These places might not be on your radar, but deserve to be, according to the magazine’s editors.

 This Old House magazine and thisoldhouse.com feature 51 great spots that fit the criteria of old-house neighborhoods – architectural diversity, craftsmanship of the homes, and the preservation momentum in the area as well as neighborhood amenities including walkability, safety and community.  With the help of www.PreservationDirectory.com, neighborhood groups, real estate agents, and preservation societies, This Old House compiled their list of the best places to track down, fix up, and fall head over heels for.
