Oconee County Reviews
Rating 3.86 out of 5 14 reviews
Oconee County is a beautiful county with a lot of rivers and trails littered throughout. It is wonderful for people who love to be outdoors. The public schools are well known as having high expectations for their students. The nightlife scene is not something it is known for. There are beautiful homes at great prices, and it would not be hard to find a home that fits your needs. While Oconee may seem large, commute time is not something that is a hassle. This county is good for families looking to settle down.
Everyone in the area are so close and involved! It is incredibly easy to interact with others through getting involved, and there are endless opportunities.
The general atmosphere of this area is great. I love raising my son here because there isn't much crime where we are located. I think that I would live here again if the opportunity was available. Why? Because my mother always says how much she loves where she lives and I definitely agree. If I had to rank this area compared to anywhere else in the country, on a scale of 1-10 I would say a 5. Only because there isn't many tourists because that's not the kind of area we are in. In the future, I see this area staying the same. Because we don't do much to change it and also there isn't much that needs to be changed.
