Georgia is an excellent place to live. The weather is not too extreme, and the winters are relatively short. Plus, if you prefer the great outdoors, there are plenty of attractions and recreation spots to keep you entertained. The job market in Georgia is exploding, with well over 450 Fortune 500 companies operating within the state’s border, and the economy continues to grow via tourism, entertainment, and agriculture.
 
Property taxes in Georgia are lower than the national average, making this state a great candidate for singles looking for outstanding career opportunities, affordable luxury homes, and abundant places to meet new people. Here are a few of our favorite cities that should be candidates when searching for your home.

Atlanta is a top technological hub, not only in the south but in the United States. It is balanced by a vivid arts and entertainment scene, exciting sports culture, and a hopping nightlife. The residents of Atlanta are extremely friendly and welcoming. Even though Atlanta boasts 15 Fortune 500 companies within the city limits, ranking it third highest in the country, the residents of this city still have a way of making you feel like you are somewhere much smaller. When it comes to meeting new people, there is no shortage of opportunities. The food and drink choices offered in Atlanta span the entire globe, and there are enough bars to pick a new spot every week. If you would rather catch some fresh air and exercise, check out the Atlanta Beltline. Atlanta is, by far, one of the best places to live in Georgia for singles.

Marietta

Marietta is another fantastic historic town close to downtown Atlanta while offering a small-town atmosphere.

The city is constantly making advancements, and there is no shortage of jobs, whether you would like to work within Marietta itself or drive to Atlanta.

Doraville

Doraville is a quaint town just 10 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. Located on the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains, the small town has a lower cost of living than the general average in the United States, even though the post-war era homes are luxurious and spacious.

Alpharetta is one of the most desirable housing choices in the country, having been included in both Forbes and Money Magazine’s lists of places to live.

Roswell

Roswell is a metropolitan Atlanta town that manages to make you feel like you are living in a rural environment instead of one of the largest metropolitan cities in the United States. Many neighborhoods in Roswell have access to lakes, creeks, and the Chattahoochee River.

You will find plenty of opportunities to meet up with friends at the numerous outdoor concerts, art walks, and local artisan restaurants.
