What Atlantic Ocean Coastal State Has the Least Development and Offers the Best Opportunities for Buying Affordable Coastal Homes?

The greatest concentration of people in the United States is on the eastern side of the country with major population centers along the Atlantic Ocean from Virginia north towards Washington, D.C., New York, Connecticut, etc.  In the south most of the population, especially retirees, have traditionally skipped Georgia and gone to the warm weather of Florida and become known as "snow-birds".  Because Georgia was overlooked as the masses moved into Florida, it has allowed Georgia to be one of our best kept coastal secrets.  In turn this has kept Coastal Georgia affordable and much less developed than the other 12 coastal states.

Now, as "baby-boomers" have begun to retire and are looking for alternatives to the expensive coastal communities of the northeast and the hurricane prone coastal communities of mid-to-deep-southern Florida, the affordable Georgia coast has begun to get the attention of developers and home builders.  Georgia has six counties on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean that boast great history, boating, golf, tourism, dining, and much, much more.

What Does Coastal Geogia Offer a Home Buyer, Leisure Lifestyle, or Retirement Minded Person?

Camden County Georgia is Georgia's most southern coastal county bordering Florida just 30 minutes north of Jacksonville, Florida.  Residents of this coastal community enjoy a variety of amenities that are perfect for retirees as well as leisure minded working adults.  Many residents of the area are retirees that simply like the idea of living in a "bed-room" community along the coast that is also close enough to the city for theater, shopping, and easy access to travel amenities while leisure minded working adults enjoy the affordable coastal lifestyle and remain an acceptable 30 mile commute from the heart of Jacksonville, Florida (12th largest U.S. City by Population).

The two largest towns in this coastal county are Kingsland and St. Marys, Georgia.  The two towns border each other directly and unless you watch for the city limit signs you can hardly tell where Kingsland ends and St. Marys begins.  Together they offer a great deal of opportunity for their residents including:

• History of being the second oldest city in the United States (St. Marys, GA is second only to St. Augustine, FL)
• Amazing nature of Cumberland Island boasting wild horses, wild boars and rustic camping (National Park famous wedding location of John F. Kennedy, Jr.)
• Three golf courses (Osprey Cove, Laurel Island Links, and Trident Links)
• Various gated communities for the retirement minded home buyer desiring the added security including gated communites on the intercoastal waterway or deep water rivers
• Cumberland Harbour is currently working on the development of a full marina within the gated development for coastal ga home owners
• Excellent weather (as a border county it boasts Florida weather without being in Florida)
• I-95 disects Kingsland making easy north/south travel from Miami to Maine
• I-10 is only 30 minutes away making for easy east/west travel from Jacksonville to San Diego
• Jacksonville International Airport is 20 minutes away along I-95 for easy International Travel
• Much, much more...come visit the area to see what Coastal Georgia has to offer
