Read Story"If you have spent over fifty years in constant activity—at work; raising a family; and serving your community—retirement may seem like a distant, foggy dream. Time has a way of sneaking up on the most thorough planner, though, so it is important to envision what life will be for you when your time is your own.
The Appalachian foothills of North Georgia have become one of the prime destinations for a retirement escape plan. The small communities dotting this scenic area are far enough from the big city to avoid traffic, noise, and congestion, but close enough to enjoy convenience, quality health care, and access to travel. The beauty of the area provides an endless supply of new discoveries: scenic mountain views; the rushing rapids of rivers, streams, and waterfalls; and preserved forested lands with a bounty of plant and animal life. North Georgia towns are definitely growing, but most civic leaders are focused on building infrastructure without destroying the natural surroundings. "
