County in Georgia
Current Resident: Extremely low violent crime rates with pleasant temperatures in the summer with colder winters than most other counties in Georgia. Snowfall is not that unusual with 7 to 10 inches of snow in winter month storms. People are friendly and courteous and the bulk of the county's residence are from other parts of Georgia and other states. During the fall and spring months, there are many festivals and fairs offering a plethora of activities as well as locally home made crafts and goodies. Union County, the mountain county, is a wonderful area to visit, play and build your dream home.... Read 1 review

Current Resident: I have lived in this town from the time I was born and I am so saddened to move come this fall. This town has gorgeous scenery, and plenty of trails for the outdoorsy folks. I could not have handpicked a better community for myself. If you are ever looking for a community to raise a family in, this is the one. The people of the town treat you as if you were their own kinfolk, it is truly amazing!... Read 6 reviews

Current Resident: I like Glynn County, but crime has gone way up lately and it doesn't feel safe anymore. Also, there is a huge mix with rich and poor and it just doesn't mix well. There also is a lot of politics put into everything here, most of these things that I feel are wrong. The school system is fine, rather strict in my opinion, and there is a variety of private schools. There is a lot going on all of the time, though. We have a lot of community events and good restaurants. Overall, I give Glynn County 4 stars, but I may be biased as this is the only place I have ever lived.... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: Gilmer County is a small community where it is easy for families to build their lives. There is not much to do within the county, but the bigger cities are less than an hour away. The police officers and sheriff's department make sure that residents and visitors feel safe where ever they are. The traffic is not too bad except for during the Apple Festival and during September and October. Dalton State College is also in Ellijay, providing college experience to students within the community. The public schools could improve facilities as well as inclusion of all clubs and sports. There is plenty of real estate and empty land available at a reasonable price. The county is lacking in diversity, but with all of the trails and Carter's Lake, the opportunities for healthy living are everywhere.... Read 1 review

Current Resident: Living in Oconee county provides me with a sense of security. The people are outwardly nice; although the children and teens of this county can be described as self centered. The schools provide us with excellent education, but they drill it into the kids’ minds that they have to take rigorous classes and go to the best universities. It’s overwhelming and many students fall into burnout. If you live in Oconee your and your family have money; that or you lived in the area before it blew up. I am of the lather. I may not be able to live in Oconee later in adulthood if I do not attend secondary education.... Read 12 reviews

Current Resident: It's a nice area that's clean and convenient. The only thing that seems to be the problem is so much traffic for a small town. It has all the attractions one looks for when seeking out refuge from a big city. There are festivals, parades, car shows, concerts on Main Street. As far as shopping there are a few nice boutiques, and independent restaurants and eateries are abundant. It is also within a short driving distant to larger cities in case your seeking more options for shopping and restaurants. All in all it's a very nice area to live, and provides you with the quaint, small-town feel.... Read 7 reviews

Current Resident: I really enjoy the scenery of White County. There are beautiful, lush mountains, lakes you can pedal boat in, an abundance of hiking trails. I also enjoy the fact that White County is 90 miles north of Atlanta, so you are not too close to the city, but you are not too far. There is a downside to White County as there is not that much to do especially for a younger crowd. This county is definitely a charm for people who are older and are ready to settle down....

Current Resident: I live in the south part of Houston County. Everyone's basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, etc. are easily accessible. Farthest drive in the town is about 20 minutes. Although Houston County isn't like the city, during the work rush hours traffic is very bad. Traffic is the one thing I wish was better, but there are back roads as well to avoid it. I would like to say my neighborhood is very safe. Everyone pitches in to keep it looking nice and it's safe with the cameras at the front entrance and around the light posts. Police are always around schools to either direct traffic or to make sure no harm is going into the schools.... Read 9 reviews

Current Resident: Dawson County provides the small-town area to call home for families looking to get away. It offers the convenience of local stores and a mall while also offering a lake and forest only a few miles away. If I had to choose something to change it would be more access to mental health assistance. Dawson county sadly has an issue with mental health care and while efforts are being made to increase access there is still a long road ahead. Overall, the schools are wonderful and strive for excellence, the stores are highly accessible, and there is a variety of outdoor interests that will perfectly fit those who desire to get out in nature with loved ones....

Current Resident: We moved here from Gwinnett County in Metro Atlanta three years ago and the quality of life is much better in many ways. The county has plenty of parks and green spaces and includes Lake Lanier and the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains. The schools are the best in Georgia and the county is much safer than Atlanta. The people have also been extremely welcoming. Medical facilities, plenty of shopping and diverse restaurant options are readily available. They are in the process of building an amphitheater near the square in Cumming and there are NoFo and Cherry Street microbreweries. I'm glad we purchased when we did as home values are escalating fairly dramatically. As I no longer have to commute to Atlanta, the major drawback has been a non-factor. We love it!...
