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:
