The same things that attract tourists to Blairsville and Union County, Georgia—scenic beauty and mountain views, delightful climate, cultural heritage, recreational opportunities, and easy access with a small-town atmosphere—are the things that make the quality of life here a dream-come-true for our residents. Blairsville was rated among the "top ten places for retirement" in a Wall Street Journal article in 1994 for reasons of low crime and low cost of living, and among the top 10 places in Georgia in 2008 by Retire in Georgia magazine. But it isn’t only retirees who find Union County the ideal place to settle down. Families are also finding that the Union County lifestyle is perfect for raising happy, healthy children.
Deep in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest and North Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, as well as water sports on Lake Winfield Scott and Lake Nottely, festivals year round, waterfalls, excellent local and state parks, and more. Our wealth of activities is supplemented by an award-winning local hospital and a high-ranking public school system.
