Emerald Lake sits in Sugar Hill within Gwinnett County, with current MLS activity showing a median price of $510,000 and a median of 29 days on market. No community amenities are currently identified in the MLS data, so buyers should confirm any shared features directly rather than assume a standard package.

Seven recent closings is enough to establish a market posture but not enough to smooth out the effect of any single unusual sale. When the comparable pool is this small, one high-end renovation or one distressed sale can swing the reported per-square-foot figure meaningfully. That is worth keeping in mind when using the $178 per square foot median as a benchmark for a specific listing.

The absence of identified community amenities in the MLS feed does not necessarily mean there are none, only that the listings pulling into this snapshot did not document them. Buyers evaluating Emerald Lake specifically for shared features, whether that is a clubhouse, pool, or lake access implied by the name, should verify directly with listing agents or HOA documents rather than assume based on the community name.

In a market this thin on recent closings, pricing a listing or evaluating an offer requires pulling every comparable available, not just relying on a single median. We work the Gwinnett County GAMLS data directly, cross-check condition and lot factors against the seven-closing baseline, and tell clients plainly when a number is well-supported versus when it is resting on a small sample.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
