Renter's guide to Tucker, GA

Tucker is a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, and a city in DeKalb County. In fact, it's one of the newest cities in the area, and while it first appeared as a railroad town in the 1890s, it was only incorporated as a city in November 2015. Tucker has progressed from a largely agricultural area, through to manufacturing center, and it's now fast becoming a booming business and tech stronghold.

Compared to other suburbs of Atlanta, Tucker is fairly small, both in terms of population and area. The latest estimates put Tucker's population at around 36,000, while its physical area is just 20 sq. miles. Indeed, when you consider Sandy Springs and South Fulton, both with populations over 90,000, Tucker is positively dwarfed by its neighboring suburbs, and is almost 7 times smaller in area than Atlanta itself.

What it lacks in size, however, it makes up for in proximity to downtown Atlanta, sitting less than 15 miles northeast of the big city. Several Interstate Highways, State Routes, and U.S. Highways serve the city, giving residents quick and easy access to much of the surrounding area and beyond.
