Property tax (first-year est.)
~$4,085/yr

Not reported

The MLS listing does not report a CDD amount. Many Florida communities have one; it shows on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector or the listing agent.

Insurance (illustrative range)
$2k–$4k/yr

An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood insurance not federally mandated (Zone X). Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.

HOA
Not reported

Not stated in the listing. Confirm with the listing agent or the county record; $0 is used in the payment estimate.

Environmental data

Flood zone & elevation

Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.

From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 3457 Springside Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1960 (66 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
  • FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in DeKalb County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
  • Listed living area is 2,894 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $4,085/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
  • School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Answered before you ask

Frequently asked questions

How big is 3457 Springside Drive and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 3457 Springside Drive was built in 1960 and has 2,894 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 3457 Springside Drive in?

3457 Springside Drive is in Spring Valley in Decatur, DeKalb County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.

How are property taxes on 3457 Springside Drive estimated?

The estimate on this page (about $4,085 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.

Is 3457 Springside Drive in a flood zone?

The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.

Can I rely on the figures on this page?

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Estimates, methodology & disclaimers

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.

Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.

We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any information. Verify anything important independently.
