Houston Springs, Perry | The Village at Deaton Creek by Del Webb, Hoschton
Georgia has a varied topography, from mountains in the north to the Intracoastal Waterway on the east. You’ll also find many people who have lived their entire lives here. Much of the state seems caught in its past; this many be a good thing or a bad thing. Reminders of the Civil War abound, including lovely antebellum homes on leafy streets. Spanish moss drips from magnolia trees. In towns spared General Sherman’s wrath during his march from Atlanta to the the sea in 1864 one expects to find Margaret Mitchell around any corner. There really does seem to be a Georgia state of mind.
