The 50 Best Small Southern Towns

By Sweitzer, Gerald W. & Fields, Kathy M.

Publishers Summary:
Are you looking to escape the hustle and bustle of urban living? Peachtree Publishers has the guide for you! A new trend emerged in the 1990s: a shift of city dwellers from metropolitan areas to small towns and cities. This trend is particularly evident in the South, as this region has attracted more growth, second homes, and increases in income and education levels. Frustrated with city traffic, air pollution, crowded suburbs, and declining quality of life, city dwellers are seeking desirable, small Southern towns. Finding the best community, however, can be a challenge. THE 50 BEST SMALL SOUTHERN TOWNS is just the place to start your search. Authors Gerald W. Sweitzer and Kathy M. Fields researched and personally visited over 150 sites to give you this comprehensive relocation guidebook with helpful information on the fifty best small Southern towns in nine Southeastern states. In order to be featured in the book, each town had to meet stringent qualifications: population under 25,000, positive population growth, readily available cultural and recreational attractions, adult education opportunities, healthcare options, and Internet access. Information on each town includes: · Directions for getting there · Housing options · Recreational highlights · Cultural scene · Natural environment · Economic and education profiles · Healthcare · Vital statistics (climate, median incomes, etc.) The appendix offers quick reference charts showing facts and features for each town. Perfect for anyone considering an alternative to city living.
