It has become almost routine for Blue Ridge to be praised as a wonderful place to live in Georgia. Residents' testimonials, articles and various organizations bestow glowing reviews and accolades about living here. With these superlatives publicized for so long, the Metro Atlanta area's fame as a great place to live has been a magnet attracting people, like you, to explore and relocate to Blue Ridge.

This sense of the Blue Ridge good life is expressed on the website of the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce, www.blueridgemountains.com

"Take a deep breath and relax... Surround yourself with beauty, relaxation and natural fun in Georgia’s Blue Ridge, only 90 miles north of Atlanta via I-575 and Hwy 515, but a million miles away from the traffic, stress and anxiety of the city. With 106,000 acres located in the Chattahoochee National Forest, Blue Ridge is definitely the cure for whatever ails you. Rent a cozy cabin or a luxury mountain home, or stay in a bed & breakfast inn or hotel -- and simply relax."
