Dade County - Trenton & Rising Fawn - have some questions, help please! (low crime)

[SouthernFarmer]

Seeking to move to Dade County, GA around November -- way-y-y out in the middle of nowhere, hopefully "in the valley" (lower elevations, warmer climate); around Trenton or Rising Fawn, but "in the county" (not in city limits, as I farm).

Wondering what the character of the area is like, particularly with regard to crime & drugs & youth gangs? We have tons of violent crime where I live now in my hometown in central NC, which is why I'm moving. Hoping to move to a place where I don't have to lock my doors at night! AND away from the city lights and the barking dogs and the cars and the trucks and everything other than beautiful quiet serene peaceful tranquil private lonesome NATURE. I'm talking about the private relaxing sort of place where I have to get in my truck and drive several miles in some direction to see another human being.

Input/thoughts from people who live in Dade Co.?

Hey Southernfarmer. I'm from Dade County. To let you know, it is a very nice place to live. Small town vibe and friendly people. Low crime rate as well. If you're looking for more of the "country" vibe, Rising Fawn would probably be a better place than the middle of Trenton. There isn't really anywhere you can live in Dade County where you would have to drive a few minutes to see anyone, but there are sparsely populated areas, ie. Rising Fawn. Either mountain, Sand or Lookout, are also good areas to look for places to live. However, like I said Rising Fawn is probably the best bet for the vibe you're going for.

You have to drive a good 10 minutes or more to get to Trenton. You also might want to look into what we call Back Valley. Once you get down the road there, it is probably even more sparsely populated than Rising Fawn. Overall, its a very beautiful area. The mountains are gorgeous at all times of the year and there are genuinely good people there. Good luck on your move!

Short Version: Low Crime, nice people. Rising Fawn and either of the mountains are good "country" places to live where you can escape the sounds of traffic and people in general.
