If you’re thinking about retiring to Northeast Georgia, consider the Lake Hartwell area. Hartwell is still the small town where everybody knows everybody, and people still wave to one another and let you know if they missed you at church on Sunday. Hart County is the 3rd lowest property taxes in the state of Georgia, and Charlene Fields thinks they have the prettiest Lake! Lake front homes are affordable, and the lake is so big you hardly see anyone on it. Having been in the real estate
