Realtor Comments
In the heart of downtown Fitzgerald stands this 2 story home that is loaded with tradition and character. The home can be used as 2 units (upstairs and downstairs, as both contain small kitchens). The current owner utilized this as 2 rental units, with the front entrance being the upstairs entry and the back porch entry being the access point for downstairs unit, however it now flows seamlessly as it sits, as a single family home. The property will need your vision and updates to function as planned, as work will be needed to make some repairs. The property is 2144 sqft of living space with tons of potential, within walking distance of the heart of Fitzgerald. Call today to take a look! (Property will not conform to USDA/FHA/VA loan styles) Not for rent.

Pros of Living in Fitzgerald, GA
Lower Cost of Living & Affordable Housing
Fitzgerald’s overall cost of living is below the national average, and housing costs in particular are notably low compared with many U.S. cities. This makes it attractive for families on a budget, retirees, or first-time homebuyers.
Small-Town Feel & Close-Knit Community
Fitzgerald has the charm of a small town with a historic downtown area, walkable streets, local restaurants, and community events like the Fitzgerald Chicken Festival. There’s a sense of familiarity and local pride.
Historic Character & Local Culture
The city was one of Georgia’s planned communities and features a historic district with architecture and local museums that reflect its unique past.
Less Congestion & Traffic Than Big Cities
Because it’s a small town rather than a metro area, Fitzgerald tends to have less traffic and crowding, and basic travel around town is generally easy. (This is a typical small-town trait, supported by resident descriptions.)
Cons of Living in Fitzgerald, GA
Crime & Safety Concerns
Crime is frequently mentioned as a downside. Several crime statistics sources show Fitzgerald’s crime rate — especially property crime — is higher than national averages, and residents’ reviews reflect concerns about safety in town.
Limited Job Market & Economic Opportunities
Local employment options can be limited, and wage levels are often lower, which may make it difficult to find well-paying jobs within the city. Economic challenges are often noted in community rankings.
Population Decline & Small Size
The city’s population is small and has declined slightly in recent years, which can impact the vibrancy of local businesses, services, and growth prospects.
Schools & Education Quality
Local schools receive mixed to below-average ratings in many school rating sources, which some families consider a drawback when thinking about raising children there.
Limited Amenities & Things to Do
Some residents describe Fitzgerald as having few entertainment or activity options, especially for youth — which can make the town feel “boring” to some people.
Mixed Resident Experiences
Online reviews and resident feedback are very mixed: some people praise the community and friendliness, while others cite crime, lack of jobs, frustration with local government, and limited nightlife or recreation.
