I live in Gainesville Ga. Rome is quiet. Lots of access to great leases and WMA. I don't know a whole lot about the city though.

Its a nice place. Rome is home to Berry College. There is alot of open farm land mixed with forests. Good place to get some whitetail.

You should move there. I dated a girl that went to school in Rome...you could dogg out some college girls when your not hunting...for deer anyway.

RE: Rome Ga.
 

Sounds great! And an old dog like me would be all over those college gals as long as they don't call me Grandpa!!!!

RE: Rome Ga.

Rome is a really nice area. Like most of Northwest Ga it was built around The Textile industry. Rome has grown up a little bit over the years but is still pretty much the same it allways was a nice community. Lots of woods, farmland around the area. Rome is allso one of the bigger citys in NW GA.

What part of Paulding you in i used to live in New Ga and my Wife is from Paulding County.

RE: Rome Ga.
 

Why is the property so cheap there? It seems like the cheepest area in Ga.

RE: Rome Ga.
 

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.

Rome isn't bad but it's experiencing a good bit of population growth. There is a lot of pretty country up there. It's just a little larger than Carrollton where I live. Only difference is Carrollton is having some rapid growth right now. Were just the next stop on I20 I guess. If I were moving out this way I would also check out Tallaposa or Breman. Two small little sleepy towns in Harralson Co.

RE: Rome Ga.
 

I agree completly I use to live in Tallapoosa.

RE: Rome Ga.
 

In fact my wife and I have thought about leaving Carrollton and moving up to Tallapoosa in the next few years. I have a friend who just moved there and he loves it. Says it's nice and queit with down home people all around.

RE: Rome Ga.
 

Yeah i really liked living in Tallapoosa. You got to try the sausage they make over at the piggly wiggly in town. Its just the round patties man i still miss those. You cruize right over to the Talladega NF and spend hours driving the roads back there and fishing.

Speaking of fishing you can park on the side of the road next to that little Treatment plant and fish the Tallapoosa (Might be the little Tallapoosa cant remember) right there. I caught a monster Rainbow Trout there one time. I couldnt believe it and dont know how he got that far down river its just too warm down there i would have thought.

Now i am home sick LOL
