What Your Home Inspector Looks For in Norcross Homes
Norcross has an unusually old core for Gwinnett County, and that's the first thing we check differently there. The town was chartered in 1870 and was the first city in Gwinnett County listed on the National Register of Historic Places, added in 1980 for its Late Victorian and turn-of-the-century architecture. On the restored Victorian homes near downtown, we look closely at foundation settling, outdated electrical and plumbing, and the condition of the roof and windows, since a century or more of additions and repairs can hide problems a newer house won't have.
But most of Norcross isn't the historic core. Census Bureau estimates show fewer than half of the city's housing units are standalone single-family homes; about one in five are attached homes like townhomes, and roughly a quarter sit in buildings with five or more units. On attached and multi-unit homes we pay close attention to moisture and damage where units share a wall or roofline, the condition of unit-specific HVAC and water heater equipment, and any signs of a leak traveling from a neighboring unit.
Norcross is in Gwinnett County, where the county's own UGA Extension office reports that 22 to 28 percent of homes tested have significant levels of radon. Radon can't be seen or smelled during a walk-through inspection, so we recommend adding a radon test to any purchase in Norcross. The test runs during the same visit, and a high result can be reduced with mitigation.
| Type of home | What we pay attention to |
|---|---|
| Homes near historic downtown | Foundation settling, outdated electrical and plumbing, and roof and window condition on houses built around the turn of the last century. |
| Attached homes and townhomes | Moisture and damage where units share a wall or roofline, and the condition of unit-specific HVAC and water heater equipment. |
| Condos and homes in larger multi-unit buildings | Signs of a leak traveling from a neighboring unit, and the condition of visible plumbing and mechanical systems inside the unit. |
| Subdivision homes from the 1980s and 2000s | Roof age, water heater and HVAC age, deck attachment and wood rot, and the condition of the original electrical panel. |

Is downtown Norcross a historic district?
Yes. The Norcross Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and it was the first area in Gwinnett County to be listed.

Should I test for radon when buying a home in Norcross?
We recommend it. Gwinnett County's UGA Extension office reports that 22 to 28 percent of homes tested in the county have significant levels of radon. The test runs during the same visit as the inspection, and a high result can be reduced with mitigation.
