Georgia Town Named a ‘Southern Charmer’

If you're thinking of starting a life in a new city and want to know of some fantastic Georgia areas to set up shop, you're likely going to want a welcoming town with a reasonable cost of living and, of course, a high level of safety. Thankfully, there are plenty of welcoming areas across America, so whether you want to live close to where you're from or venture out, you have options. Now, one Georgia town has been named a "Southern charmer" and great place to set up roots. Georgia Town Named One of the Best to Live The experts at Money have put together a tally of the finest places to live in America. "This year's Best Places to Live list celebrates cities and towns where a thriving economy meets affordability, diversity and an exceptional quality of life," they state, adding that, "Instead of using a predetermined dataset to whittle thousands of American cities down to a 'winning' 50, we crafted our list from the ground up through meticulous research and in-depth reporting — paying special attention to those deeply invested in the livability, equity and sustainability of their communities. We asked readers for suggestions, too, in a newsletter poll that produced hundreds of responses." During the vetting process, Money did their research and compared each city, town and neighborhood on their roster of contenders against various metrics, including the health of the local job market; the average housing costs borne by homeowners and renters; the quality of public schools; and more. So, if you're looking for places that are projected to be great areas to live in the future, this is the tally for you. They also said they used a "holistic" approach, because they know some wonderful benefits of living in certain places can't be counted on metrics. The Georgia town that made the cut and was called a "Southern charmer" by experts is Thomasville. "A Southern charmer with a small-town feel," they exclaim. The cities travel website suggests that when you're "planning your visit to Thomasville, some of the best days to see and experience everything the city has to offer are Tuesdays through Saturdays." Also for their Georgia town, they add that, "While a small group of shops and attractions may have limited hours on Sundays or Mondays, it can be a great time to enjoy some outdoor activities." Atlanta also made the cut, with the publication calling it diverse and welcoming. [select-listicle listicle_id="770021" syndication_name="fun-affordable-staycation-ideas" description="no"]
