Greensboro-oconee : Georgia | | |
|
| What Greensboro-Oconee is like for active adults |
Greensboro is one of the small towns in central Georgia near Lake Oconee and the Oconee National Forest. Although it is quite rural in this part of Georgia it is an easy drive to Athens (University of Georgia) and Atlanta. The recreational opportunities are quite extensive thanks to this huge lake (2nd largest in Georgia) and National Forest. Greensboro itself is a small town of about 3200 and the county seat of Green County. Many luxury resorts, developments, and golf courses have been built along the shores of Lake Oconee.
Large active adult communities have been built here in recent years because of its beautiful setting and proximity to Atlanta. These developments (see link at right) have tended to dominate local demographics and home prices in recent years. Outside of the development household income is relatively low and home prices below $100,000; inside the developments household income is higher and home prices are above $200,000. There are other nice areas near Greensboro, some of them south of I 20 on Rt 44. |

| What is special about this retirement community |
| The second largest lake in Georgia and a huge National Forest make this area special. The lake was built in 1979 so it is a relatively young area. Some of the area developments include Harbor Club (a Golfweek "top 10 places to play in Georgia" in 2009) and the Golf Club at Cuscowilla. |
