Floyd and Bartow are still priced pretty cheap . Biggest reason Floyd is so cheap is because of its lack of a major interstate and quick means of comute to Atlanta where most of the population works.

A trip from Rome to Atlanta would be 60+ miles one way and 1hr and 15 mins to 1hr and a half. Thats mostly because the trip requires driving down two lane roads with low speed limits. There is allways 411 but it can get pretty congested.

I dont know what part of the country you are in but property prices in Ga are really cheap compared to where i live in FL. In Ga i rented a 3 bedroom 2 bath with full basement on 9 acres and no pet or livestock restrictions for 600 a month. I currently pay close to a 1000 a month here in Fl for a 3 bedroom 2 bath and my yards are only 70x100 and 70x40, and no livestock.
