Summer, June to August

Summer in Norcross: river days, ballgames and evenings by the fire pit.

Float or paddle the Chattahoochee River about 7 miles away, ride to the top of Stone Mountain, catch the Braves or a stadium concert, then walk to a summer evening concert in downtown Norcross. Three private homes with air conditioning share one well-landscaped backyard.
