Freedom to Roam: Why I Moved to North East Georgia from the Big City, A REALTOR’s Perspective

As a former city dweller, I understand the appeal of urban living—the convenience, the culture, the hustle and bustle. But after making the move to Upper East portion of Georgia, I’ve discovered a quality of life that truly surpasses my previous expectations. If you're considering a similar move, here’s why this region might be the perfect fit for you.




Affordable Living with High Quality of Life


One of the primary reasons I decided to move to North East Georgia was the affordable cost of living. Compared to the city, housing prices here are significantly lower, making homeownership more accessible. The lower cost of living extends beyond housing, with affordable healthcare, groceries, and other necessities contributing to a comfortable lifestyle.


Scenic Beauty and Outdoor Activities


The Georgian Highlands are renowned for its breathtaking landscapes. The region is home to the Blue Ridge Mountains, numerous lakes, and lush forests, offering endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, or simply taking in the natural beauty, you’ll find plenty to do. The area’s mild climate also means you can enjoy outdoor activities year-round.






For example, in Braselton, you can explore Château Élan Winery & Resort, a local favorite for wine tasting, spa, and luxury accommodations. If motorsports are your interest, The Michelin Tower and Raceway will get your engines roaring. Perhaps the lake life is more for you. Lake Lanier, a hub for boating, fishing, golf, waterpark fun, and lakeside picnics extends from Buford Dam up through north of Gainesville, Georgia. Lake Lanier provides clean drinking water and power to Metro Atlanta and over 5 million local residents.




Strong Community and Growing Economy


The communities in this Appalachian region of Georgia are known for their welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Small-town charm combined with a growing economy makes this area ideal for families, retirees, and young professionals alike. Businesses are following the migration patterns, relocating from high-cost states to the more affordable and business-friendly environment of Georgia. This economic growth is creating new job opportunities and boosting the local economy.


Educational Opportunities


For families considering, there are a number of counties offering excellent educational opportunities. The region boasts a variety of well-rated public and private schools, as well as proximity to several higher education institutions. This ensures that children and young adults have access to quality education close to home. See for yourself. Here you'll find a few of the top ranked schools by location:


Senior Living and Healthcare Facilities


This particular region of our state, also excels in providing top-notch amenities for seniors. This corner of the Peach state offers a variety of senior living options, from independent living communities to assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. These communities provide excellent care, social activities, and healthcare services tailored to seniors’ needs. Take a look at a sampling of Active 55+ Communities here in foothills region:

Whether it’s routine check-ups or advanced medical treatments, the presence of such a reputable healthcare institution adds a significant advantage to living in this area.
