Safest Neighborhoods in Lumpkin County, GA

Quiet waterfronts and the Appalachian foothills dominate the scenery in Lakeshore, a community along the northern banks of Lake Lanier. Homes are tucked along forested streets, heightening the outdoors as a fact of life in the community. “Really quiet community up that way,” says Jason Buffington, a Real Estate Team Leader at Keller Williams

Murrayville is a rural community set in the rolling hills of North Georgia, accessible only by one two-lane country highway, and spoken of most often in relation to its proximity to other towns. “It’s between Gainesville and Dahlonega, and really the biggest draw is the people,” says Realtor Jason Buffington with Keller Williams Lanier Partners,

Dahlonega calls itself the Wine Country of the South, but its roots reach back to an 1836 gold rush that put Lumpkin County’s Blue Ridge foothills on the map. The town lies about 70 miles north of Atlanta and borders the Chattahoochee National Forest, drawing hikers, paddlers and anglers who come for the scenery as much as the history. Downtown
