Kim will be glad to show you one of our homes or available lots in the delightful Highland Gates Community. And just what does Kim have to show you? Really there is just so much going for the Highland Gates community. Its known as the premiere Hall County Real Estate Development for a reason.

First is its proximity to renown relaxation destination Lake Lanier. In the sweltering days of summer
its great to know that you live just minutes away from total relaxation from either boat or park.

And speaking of parks have you heard of Don Carter State Park? The newest and most modern park in the state of Georgia. No you don't have to be a boater to enjoy all the lake has to offer, stop by Don Carter State Park and enjoy a day with the grandchildren sniffing the wildflowers and enjoying gentle lake breezes.

                              
This new park is built on the part of the lake that is still left largely undeveloped. And just two miles from premiere Hall County real Estate Development  'The Highland Gates' . Official Opening of the park slated for April 2013!

And lets not forget all of that gorgeous autumn foliage you get to look forward to at the end of a relaxing and enjoyable summer.

Its called the blue ridge mountains. But its cast against the vibrant change of the leaves color change.

The reasonable cost of Living of Highland Gates vs a FL Ocala retirement community.

Cost of living in a Florida retirement community as vs a more reasonable location such as Highland Gates Community in North Hall County .2 miles from the North Hall Community Center.

What will you pay in Home Owners insurance in a Florida retirement community?
 At least double. The high level of occurrence of storms and hurricanes in FL is almost certain to impact the cost insurance. Though the numbers do have some small variation depending on how far you are from the storm surge, You can bet that you will be paying a sight more in FL storm  ridden shores than in the mountain gate

Will my tax bill at Highland Gates in the serene and beautiful Mountains of North Ga be less than it would be in a Fl retirement community?
> Almost certainly, the bill will be based on the value but the rate is surely lower.

Did you know that FL  Has a 2 tier real estate tax system, new home owners pay more than long time home owners. A great deal if you have been there a while. Nothing quite like being considered a tourist in the state in which you reside is there?
However here at Highland Gates at the foothills of the fabulous Blue Ridge Mountains where the air is crisp and not saturated with humidity, you will be treated like a resident, once you actually reside here. Not 20 years from now. In Fl the tax bill on a 200 k home annually $3,820. In hall county where the lovely Highland Gates resides your effective average tax rate for a 200k home will be approx. $2180 dollars annually. On a retirement budget, I know which I would prefer to pay annually.

So visit Highland Gates, and enjoy a higher standard.

Going to Oktoberfest in Helen Ga? Stop in and Visit!

Heading up to Helen Georgia For Oktoberfest? Sure, and why not? There is a lot to see in Helen Ga, its a quaint Alpine Community Right here in the backyard of the Highland Gates Community (less than 24 miles en route). But while driving North to the lovely village of Helen and enjoying the colorful Autumn foliage, why not stop by and see all that Highland Gates has to offer?

Turn  right on Nopone and you will reach Highland Gates stone entryway. You will be amazed at all the ‘green space’ between the homes.

Highland Gates near Dahlonega Ga Home of Gold Rush Days

Summer is just about spent and its a wonderful time to visit the Mountains of North Georgia. There is a lot going on here in the Highland Gates area. In addition to all the Corn Mazes and the fantastic fall foliage we have Gold Rush Days are held the third weekend in October (the 20th & 21st for 2012), when thousands come to see fall colors peaking and celebrate Dahlonega Discovered gold back in 1828.

Ocala has nothing on Highland Gates!

Somewhere in between the frigid cold of the Northern States and the sweltering heat and humidity of Ocala Fl, there is a haven of pure delight in the mountains of North Georgia. Lets face it, Fl Retirement Communities are simply much too far away from the northern states in which you and your family grew. And while Fl can be pleasant in the evenings, the days are fraught with Hurricanes and thunderstorms. What you need is someplace a little closer to home so your friends and family that have not yet retired can come to visit.

Consider Highland Gates, North Ga's premier green space conservation community!  A place your grandchildren would love to visit. The Homes of Highland Gates are not packed together, like 'sardines in a can' as many retirement communities are in Fl are. No, Highland Gates sports fabulous Green Space that preserves the Natural Beauty of the Locale and allows you to become a natural extension of your environment.

Looking for things to do?

North Georgia's Highland Gates is less that 10 minutes from renown recreational spot: Lake Lanier. Less than 2/10th of a mile from the fantastic new North Hall County Community Center, Park and Library! 2 Miles from the new construction of Don Carter State Park. During the Fall its just a short ride to Helen Ga to enjoy Oktoberfest, and to Dahlonega fro Gold Rush!

Why pay premium price for Ocala's Foxwood Farms or Golden Pond Village when North Georgia Real Estate is a much better buy and much more practical for the lifestyle you want to live. Springlake Village and Saddle Oak Club retirement communities are fine for 3 to 4 weeks out of the year, but once the summer sets in there is not much to do but sit around rueing the higher cost of living and asking yourself "why not Highland Gates"? For more information visit us here, you will be amazed at how reasonable our new homes can be, and even more amazed by the lower cost of living.
