Where to Retire ~ Retirement Communities in Gainesville, GA

CANDLER PARK, GAINESVILLE, GA 30501
Where to retire is one of the biggest decisions to be made when entering the thrilling world of retirement life. Communities for 55+ residents (often referred to as "active adult communities") are springing up all over the USA, and Gainesville, GA, located near Lake Lanier in Hall County, GA, is no exception.
Retirement communities in Gainesville, GA, have proven to be very popular for several reasons. Gainesville's proximity to metro Atlanta, where sports, culture, shopping, and the world's busiest airport are within an easy drive, is appealing. Inside the City of Gainesville itself is the award-winning Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Brenau University, Quinlan Art Museum, Byrd Center for the Performing Arts, and the Northeast Georgia History Center, to name just a few local amenities. Activities such as golf, tennis, shopping, boating on Lake Lanier, touring botanical gardens, and hiking are also found in Gainesville/Hall County. What's more, the cost of living is very reasonable; and low taxes for seniors are appealing.
As a REALTOR, I had the pleasure of being part of the model home staff at a new, truly unique and first-class retirement community: Candler Park.
Nestled two blocks off main street--Green Street in Gainesville--is an exclusive enclave of magnificent luxury condominium townhomes designed specifically for residents 55 and older. Each home has been designed with lifestyle enhancements such as master bedroom suites on the main floor, elevator options, and totally maintenance-free exteriors from the rooftops to the lush landscaping. Gainesville, GA, retirement communities reached an entirely new level of sophistication with Candler Park's entry into the 55+ market.
