We often stay so focused on the city life in any state that we tend to forget just how beautiful the rural parts are. In Georgia, it’s no different. As much fun as it is looking at photos of skyscrapers and blinking lights, there’s so much beauty to be absorbed from rural Georgia as well. Maybe you’re a city-dweller at heart and just can’t seem to understand what the fuss is about when it comes to living rural in The Peach State. Well, we’re here to show to why rural Georgia is the best place to live.

Flickr Justin Tippins Living in rural Georgia means your pets can run free. There’s more space for them to stretch their paws and get some much-needed exercise.

Flickr T The pace is slower in rural Georgia. Living in the city usually means you’re dodging traffic, weaving in-and-out of people, and always on the go. But outside of the cities, everything changes pace and is much more relaxed.

Flickr Pat Henson The sunsets are better. You don’t have to fight through skyscrapers and gargantuan buildings to catch a glimpse of the skyline with a setting sun.
- Pike County, GA
Flickr Neal Wellons You can appreciate the seasons more. The first bloom of flowers or the changing of leaves on trees may not be as noticeable when you’re in the city.
- Blood Mountain, GA
Flickr Anish Patel The sky is clearer in rural Georgia. You can fully appreciate the night sky and don’t have to fight through light pollution to get a good view.

Flickr m01229 There is rich history in rural Georgia. Things haven’t been torn down to be improved or modernized. Rural Georgians love their history and proudly keep it around rather than “upgrading” to keep up with the times.

Flickr Ken Rowland Let’s be honest: There aren’t many waterfalls in Georgia cities. But once you get out into the rural parts, some residents have creeks and waterfalls right in their own backyards.
Now, we’re not saying there isn’t any draw to living in a big city, but we wanted to show you that it’s just as easy to fall in love with rural Georgia. Do you live in a rural part of Georgia? Care to share your experiences or favorite things about it in the comments below?
