Okay, let’s get this clear from the beginning. My birthplace is Atlanta, Georgia, so if I am a bit biased, I hope you understand.
Georgia has it all and continues to attract new residents from all over the world because of many attributes that those of us who live here might forget.
The climate is unbeatable. If you’ve ever lived up north, you might remember the cold winters with ice, snow (that needed shoveling) and dark days. When I lived there, I finally realized that the song, “Is it True What They Say about ‘Dixie’? Does the sun really shine all the time?” had true meaning!
The people are friendly. Where ever you go, folks will talk to you and help you. If you need directions or information, your questions will be answered.
Atlanta offers big city conveniences and necessities such as The Arts Center, professional sports, the best hospitals, many universities and advanced learning institutions, The Atlanta Symphony, thriving churches, synagogues and mosques, and parks and recreational facilities. The developed interstate highway system and MARTA rapid rail system make all this easily accessible for those who live in the city and those who live in the suburbs or smaller towns within the state.
The communities just north of Atlanta are attractive for a slower lifestyle, beautiful neighborhoods, good schools and more. Kennesaw is noted for its historic battlefield park and its proximity to Lake Allatoona. Alpharetta, Duluth, Norcross, Marietta and Roswell have charming old downtowns with historic squares. Suwanee has a new striking Town Center Park.
Lake Lanier and Westpoint Lake offer lakefront living, boating and water sports.
Savannah, one of the oldest cities in the USA, is wonderful to visit or take up residency. Beach front living is available at Tibee Island.
Augusta is home to The Medical College of Georgia. Its inexpensive cost of living and exceptional healthcare make it attractive for families of all ages.
