Georgia (10.8 million people) is divided into North Georgia mountains. Onion growing is in south Georgia. Savannah is the oldest city in the state, and very gorgeous. Macon is well Macon. South Georgia is Albany (regional jetport) and Valdosta. Near the cost is St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. We also have the oldest swamp in the world, the Okefenokee Swamp. Dalton anchors the area closes to Chattanooga. There are so many fancy vineyards between Dahlonega and Cleveland with both tasting and restaurants (reservations only). North of Cleveland is our touch of the Alps in Helen with many, many hotels and resorts.
that's the best description of atlanta. a bunch of transplants. i was raised in what is now Peachtree Corners and lived in Duluth/Alpharetta/Cumming for my entire adult life. the cattiness of HOA fines and rules finally drove us out (and the sale of crazy life changing house equity recently). i kinda feel that you can be just one of the fish or you can be a big fish in a little pond (south GA), have no interest in moving back. i think unless you need to commute to a corporate job or something, there's a lot to like with not dealing with the traffic and grind.
Having lived for several years in the Atlanta area, moving to south Georgia to get away from Atlanta traffic was a good move...
I grew up in Gwinnett county, went to college in Valdosta then moved to Suwanee… now we’re in Waverly near Brunswick/SSI! I can agree with EVERYTHING you said, lol…. The sand gnats and the heat down here are just something different 🥵
Thank you for watching!
Wow i love ur personality. Such useful info! I am taking a trip to georgia for the first time in couple weeks!
Thank you for watching. Are you thinking about making a move?
Very informative video, thanks! I love living in Senoia. Close to Peachtree City and Newnan. The main downside is that property taxes have skyrocketed.
Thank you for watching. Yes, there has been a ton of growth that way and an increase in home costs.
I was stationed at Fort Benning in the late ‘70s and I loved the area. I guess it’s the fall section. I don’t remember the sand gnats. I remember once taking a car trip in the countryside and ran into a covered bridge in the middle of nowhere. Very pretty. Wasn’t that impressed with Atlanta. I was on a road trip to Tennessee and made the mistake of not taking that loop around the city and ended up driving through Atlanta. Worst traffic I had ever seen and they drove so fast. Not my cup of tea, would not want to live there.
Savannah has the best homes especially on tybee and Wilmington island
Georgia has the upper Piedmont and the lower Piedmont. Atlanta is in the upper piedmont and the lower piedmont is full of small towns that don’t want to be associated with Atlanta. The lower piedmont is also called central Georgia. I grew up in Central Georgia so I know the difference.
Central Georgia Native too! And I get you!
Dalton here
I can remember 4 snow incidents in SeGa since 1976
Re: Atlanta área high incomes. You have to pay people more to live in misery 😂
I'm looking at moving back to Valdosta, my home town. I live in Northern Indiana now 😢. I must ask, what high school did you go to 😅?
I'm perfectly happy in Grady County on the FL/GA state line, I love the nice slow pace of life Tallahassee FL being only 30 miles from my home.
I'm currently looking at SW GA/SE AL for my retirement relocation (after coming to the conclusion that FL has become too unaffordable unless you are part of the seven plus figure club (as I like to call them). Both states offer generous tax incentives to retirees (unlike my state of Wisconsin, which offers almost nothing). Both areas offer a much lower cost of living, where my retirement funds will last longer (as well as a slower pace of life). I can be on the beach in Panama City or Destin in 2-3 hours (Gulf Shores will be closer to 3-3 1/2) yet not be in the bullseye of a hurricane.
Great overview! We’ve been in Georgia for about 18 years and absolutely love the climate, the southern hospitality, the growing diversity of industry, and all the amazing towns and cities!
Thank you for watching!
@@MovingtoGeorgia You're welcome! Thanks for the great video!
Last year we moved from Michigan to the Savannah area, Rincon. One reason we moved here was no snow. Atlanta gets snow. That’s a deal breaker for me. I want hot, hot, hot and the ocean.
When you say Atlanta gets snow, we get a light dusting of flurries each year one to two times. Of course there are anomalies to this. Savannah is a beautiful area! We lived in Brunswick prior to moving to the metro Atlanta area. Thanks for watching!
Hi and thank you for the videos I have had watched almost all of then I am from Jersey and I would like hear about Warner Robins I have been thinking moving down there.
Hey J, we have a great partner agent in Warner Robins that we can connect you with. Reach out to us at hello@keypointhomesgroup.com and we will get you connected. Thanks for watching!
Word To The Wise; Read up on the Crime Stats for Warner Robins and Macon before you make your decision
Would you recommend the Dallas area? Trying to look at the most practical space to raise a family
If you're looking for work id move outside Atlanta besides that I'd live down south on the coast. Besides that there's nothing to do
Savannah is the best place!!!!
Which one, Banjos or Bling?
Lake Lanier is beautiful
We agree! Thanks for watching.
this lady is a true angel ....i'm moving to georgia.....
You need to come to South Georgia you will be welcome here
If you one of them racist Hispanics I suggest you stay where you are..This aint Los Angeles ,yall dont run shit down here...Better come with open mind and open to people..
Atlanta metro is about 6 million not just under 1 million as you indicated incorrectly indicated when on the Fulton county chart.
Thanks for watching!
She was only referring to Fulton County when she said just under one milliion. She was not referring to all of the other metro area counties that make up the six million. Gwinnett, Cobb, Dekalb, Clayton, Forsyth etc.... make up the six million.
Good video. You should do one on diversity and how welcoming people in the south are compared to the north to it.
My ancestors are in that lake 😢😤😡💔
Hi Sara, I was interested in St Mary’s Cumberland harbor. Are you familiar with this location?
Hey Michele, thanks for watching. We have a great partner that serves that area and is very familiar. We would love to connect you with them to make sure you are in good hands. Let’s connect! Reach out to us at hello@keypointhomesgroup.com or cal/.text at 470-577-6472
That's a great place to you are very close to Jacksonville Florida takes you about 5 minutes and you are in Florida so it's kind of the best of both worlds I love Camden County
You're always welcome to South Georgia once you see Saint Simons Island you won't want to go anywhere else
Yes! And Jekyll, absolutely beautiful!
Best part of Georgia is leaving and crossing over the Florida state line.
i lived in both parts north georgia is better more jobs and everything kennesaw,acworth, cartersville !
Thank you for watching!
I love the small-town vibe but I don't want the small-town judgment that comes with not being religious or republican. I am considering GA but having a hard time finding an area that's safe as where I am now in Miami or an area as diverse and welcoming to all with opposing views. I don't know what to do.
I definitely suggest an exploratory trip and would recommend visiting areas of interest. The north Metro Atlanta area has experienced a lot of growth and is a destination for many people both in Georgia and outside of Georgia. The housing market and job market would not be what it is if these areas were not safe and diverse. My business is based on the availability of safe and diverse areas for people to live.
Stay in Miami. Your views don’t match our state
@@mtb4l673Miami is far from liberal these days 😂 I believe he meant he wanted something opposite of Miami.
You recommend any particular mortgage broker or where to start to get a loan?

51% employment in Augusta!?? Did I hear that right ?? That’s a stunning statistic, scary !
The Census Bureau calculates unemployment as the percentage of people 16 and over employed in the civilian labor force divided by the total number of people 16+. It would exclude those in school and not working, those in the military, and anyone retired. Also stay at home parents and people unable to work. If you look at the data, the actual unemployment rate will be much lower. Their site shows a 54% employment rate, as of 2022, with 4.2% unemployment, 3.6% military, and 38.2% not in the labor force. The unemployment rate is perhaps a smidge high for 2022, but perhaps there are a lot of retired folks because of the golf?
Dacula or Lawrenceville
Great areas!

Please you are so wrong about south georgia...for one there are plenty of gas stations...second there are plenty of lakes in south georgia...it seems you don't like south georgia so keep your happy _ _ _ in atlanta
Thank you for watching! I lived in South Georgia for 30 years.
South GA sounds awful... not much to do, the knats and biting bugs, poor economy, limited access to stores and dining, low income, lack of opportunity, and undereducated people. The beaches sound undesirable from your description... you sold me on staying far from it. I'm guessing school districts are poor, and racism is a problem, deep south... No, thanks!
The beaches are not undesirable, just a lot different than the gulf coast. Thank you for watching!
Atlanta area sucks we hate Atlanta in south Georgia
WE HATE ATLANTA IN NORTH GEORGIA MORE THAN ANYBODY
Cope. We carry the rest of the state
South Georgia rocks North Georgia schlocks
You’re crazy.
You lie! You grew up where!!!??? Dalvasta? It's Valdosta!
Mam...
@@MovingtoGeorgia 🤣
I heard Valdosta clearly when she said it. Maybe clean your ears lady
Don't never call Atlanta part of North Georgia lady!
We don't want Hotlanta said to be South Georgia either. It's a Disliked Step Child at best, for most of the rest of Ga.
Relax lynn
@@MJ-cp8nc Well, she ain't Lying
Atlanta is complete 🗑️
The Atlanta Metro is most definitely North Georgia. Even the South and East metro like Henry, Coweta, Newton and Rockdale are North Georgia
We like it here in the sticks ...it's a bad place! stay away! we're full up! no vacancies !!!!
