Social
Georgia Senior
Community & Independent Living
Georgia
has a growing senior community which will increasing expand
in the future. So there is also an increasing supply of
senior communities that will fill that senior housing need.
Metro Atlanta with it's large population, has and will see
the greatest selection of senior communities. Already Del
Webb has several very nice Active Adult living communities
around Atlanta, with it's Sun City Peachtree in Griffin
and the wonderful Deaton Creek up I-85 down the road from
Chateau Elan. If you have not visited Deaton Creek, I would
suggest you do so, just to get familiar with the 55+ active
adult community concept and their wonderful 35,00 square
feet activity, which has everything.
Georgia is fortunately to also have the North Georgia Mountains
where a lot of Atlanta people plan to retire. Reports of
snow birds moving back up from Florida to North Georgia
are frequent, especially around the Clayton GA area. Ellijay
is a great second home and eventually retirement area, as
well as Blue Ridge GA, Cumming, and convenient Dahlonega.
Then there is the Coastal Georgia area which is attracting
people from all over to retire in that wonderful environment.St.
Simons Island GA is famous for upscale retirement.
There are lots of new homes in Brunswick and the Golden
Isles of Georgia. Scroll down this page for more Georgia
retirement towns.
The interior of Georgia has many small towns that made
a great place to retire. Historic
Downtown Rome, Del

and dangerous place to live.

Georgia Income Taxes: Governor Sonny Perdue
says if re-elected in 2006, he will have the Georgia's state
income tax of 6% eliminated for seniors over 65 year old.
He was re-elected. There is already a retirement income
exclusion of about $17,000 year from state income tax for
those over 62 years.
March 16, 2007 update: A $140 million-plus tax break did
clear the committee intact, though: Gov. Sonny Perdue's
HB 195, which would eliminate state income taxes on retirement
earnings such as pension plans and 401(k)s.
"Twenty years from now, we want the state of Georgia
to be a retirement haven," said state Rep. Rich Golick
(R-Smyrna), the bill's sponsor. He said the break would
encourage wealthy seniors to live here and spread around
the money they would no longer be putting into state coffers
-- offsetting the higher burden on taxpayers to subsidize
their health care. Source: Atlanta Business Chronicle
