Natural Beauty Georgia
From mountain foothills in the north to destination islands along the coast, Georgia is a state of stunning variety where new residents every year are coming home to a better life.
Georgia is a study in happy contrasts, with a choice of lifestyle options to suit every taste. If a relaxing coastal lifestyle is your preference, it’s hard to beat the historic city of Savannah with its riverside location, cultural attractions, and recreational amenities. From there, you can take an Intracoastal Waterway tour of the Georgia sea islands, from the beach town of Tybee Island and the unspoiled nature preserves on Ossabaw and Sapelo to vacation resorts on St. Simons and Jekyll Island.
North Georgia is where you’ll find the state capital and dynamic city of Atlanta, home to international corporate headquarters, renowned venues for music and the arts, major sports teams, and unrivaled medical centers. And in the highlands above the city and in the rural countryside throughout the state, small towns with low property taxes and farmers markets feature an abundance of Georgia-produced fruits, vegetables, nuts, seafood, and poultry.
Downtown Savannah, with its 22 park-like squares, numerous restored homes, and commercial buildings, is one of America’s largest National Historic Landmark Districts.
Georgia is home to major biotech companies, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and Emory University Hospital, the hub of a statewide healthcare network that includes 250+ provider locations with nearly 3,000 physicians. For retired couples, Georgia has the sixth-lowest medical services costs in the nation.

Mild winters and long hot summers characterize most of Georgia’s weather. The mountainous region in the west has cooler average temperatures that range from 39º in January to 78º in July.
The Coastal Georgia climate is sub-tropical, but ocean breezes usually keep average summer daily highs at around 90º. Mild temperatures in the mid-70s are perfect for outdoor activities throughout the spring and fall, while daytime winter temps rarely fall below the 40s.
