My Town
I am not sure what you are looking for but I live in Ware County. The city is Waycross. I do not live in the city I live in the country. Ware county is a peacefyl place and though it has an Industrial Park and several companies including the railroad for jobs, it is safe and the people are friendly. If you have kids, we havw a YMCA and a Rec. Department that can keep the kids busy all thru the year if you like. I have two teenage boys that are heavy into sports at the Ware County High School. We are under new administration and change can cause stress for some. But I love the schools I am not able to work full time as a teacher due to health problems, but I substitute alot. I love it. Our crime rate, thank God is almost nonexistant. I believe it is because a huge industry has not moved in. We have a good Mall and a Big 24/7 WalMart. Anyway, maybe this will help. Right now Millwood Plantations are selling lots out here where we live. It would be worth your while to check into it!! Have a wonderful summer, kandy

Try the Lake Blackshear area which is 20 miles north if you can handle that commute. Lake Blackshear Plantation is a golf community, tons of homes on the lake and many lower priced homes on smaller acreages. Also, Leesburg is becoming a bedroom community to Albany, cute little nothing of a town, but if you're working in Albany, you can sleep in peace northward. Good luck.

I'd still recommend weapons training and a concealed-carry permit, even in Leesburg.

If you want to live in an area of low crime, low housing costs, and lots of outdoor activities, consider Catoosa County in NW Georgia...in the metro Chattanooga, Tn area. Fresh air and friendly people in Fort Oglethorpe,Ga, Ringgold, Ga, and Chattanooga area.
Moved here (Ringgold, Ga) from Tampa Bay and we love it. Plenty to do with Hiking(Lookout Mountain), Rock City, hang-gliding, caves (Ruby Falls), riverboats, Incline Railway, IMAX theatre, a Huge Waterfront (Tennessee River) Aquarium (puts the Tampa, Fl aquarium to shame), Bluff Art District, Walnut street Bridge (pedestrian bridge over Tn River), Trail of Tears exposition, Science museum, Univ of Tenn @ Chattanooga, Semi Pro baseball, Warehouse Row, Hamilton Place Mall, and one more time....Lots of Friendly People. Light traffic, good shopping, beautiful mountain views....a nice modern (but small) airport, I-75, I-24, and I-59 all accessible. White water rafting 1.5-2.0 hrs away.

Romeo...for all the reasons you listed above is exactly why we will be pulling in with our moving van in just 2 short weeks. We absolutely cannot wait. I have heard so many folks say how wonderful the TN Aquarium is. That will be one of our first outings, followed closely by biking thru Chickamauga Battlefield Park. We are very excited to be making the extreme NW GA corner our home!!!!

I am also looking to move to GA and have been considering DUblin and Perry. I see you have Dublin as your first on best places to live. May I ask why? I am a single Mom with 4 children and I am needing to rent a house as well as have good schools and daycare for my children as well as find a job down there before I get my own business off the ground. Any assistance you can give me I would appreciate. I have heard that Macon is very rough and I want my kids in a safe place when we move. Thanks!
