Within a year of living in Gainesville, so much has changed and in a good way! Town square is thriving with the addition of wonderful restaurants, hotels, and housing. The medical facilities are also Toyo-notch! Northeast Georgia Medical Center is in the process of expanding and renovations throughout the city are ongoing. In another 2-5 years I believe Gainesville will be a highly sought after city to live!
Gainesville is a wonderful town that has really grown, especially in the past five years. There have been so many new businesses that bring so much color and energy to this area without changing Gainesville into something it’s not. The people here for the most part are incredibly kind while also being incredibly accepting. The only thing I would like changed is honestly the way traffic works there are a few areas where because of the way the road or the lights are set up traffic can be rough. I’ve lived here practically my whole life and this is a great place full of great people.
I love how fast Gainesville has grown I am proud to own property here! The football team for the highschool was undefeated last year and they have a wonderful and marvelous athletic and academic program for the high school. I currently have 7 kids in Gainesville city schools and we love it
