Known as "The Geranium City," McDonough offers apartments for rent in a historic setting with a traditional town square at its heart. Founded in 1823 and named after naval officer Commodore Thomas Macdonough, this Henry County seat sits 28 miles southeast of Atlanta, accessible via Interstate 75.

McDonough's rental market includes apartment communities and single-family homes that balance small-town living with city accessibility. The downtown McDonough Historic District features preserved architecture surrounding the square, which hosts the annual Geranium Festival each spring. The Blacksville, Flippen, and Kelleytown neighborhoods each offer distinct rental options.

Transportation is a key benefit for McDonough residents, with Interstate 75 providing a 35-40 minute commute to Atlanta during normal traffic. The city has grown substantially from 8,500 residents in 2000 to over 29,000 by 2020. Distribution centers and educational institutions serve as major employers, making McDonough an established alternative to living within Atlanta's perimeter.
