We moved down here to Lawerenceville last summer and love this area! Only 11 miles to the lake!!!
We came from the Huntely and Elgin IL area. One of the offices I work out of is in Forest Park down by the airport and usually it will take an hour or so in pretty heavy traffic. But if there is a decent insuance seminar going on, it has taken close to and hour and 40 mins! i figured I would rather drive the distance during the week and have the short drive to go play on the weekends. We didnt want to have to make an hour drive home after being in the sun all day! Another buddy of mine and his wife just moved down here from crystal Lake IL and he is itching to get out on the lake with his boat as well. All I can say is this honey do list sucks and summer better start soon because I am tired of yard work! |
I live on the North end of Lake Lanier. I grew up here and it's a great place to live. Check out Gainesville , Ga and the time has never been better to own a lake home.

I have a house in vinnings/smyrna and looking for land or place up near cumming or anywhere near Lanier.. Pretty sure bringing the slingshot down once motors are finished up in NY...

I think Keith might be a little light in his times pending when you would have to get into the office - if you had to travel around rush hr times. Guys I work with (office is in Perimeter area) live in Cumming and they have 45 mins to an hr every day I believe. :ernaehrung004: Joking aside, Atlanta traffic was never an issue as I left well before or well after the busy hours. I have no idea how people can drive to work in that stuff every day. |

He's a sales guy... This means he probably works from a home office, doesnt wake up till 9 or 10AM and is on the golf course by 3PM.

I think your city in your profile is outside Chi-town so you may be used to the traffic. I store at Vann's Tavern on Lake Lanier and live in the Vinnings/Smyrna area and it is an hr each way on Sat or Sun to our little resin bucket.

Lake Lanier is all we have been on here and it is big, clear wide open lake. We were on Lake Norman for 3 yrs and grew up on Erie. My biggest b*tch about the lake is that there is no dining or bars on the lake. The one spot to go to is very cool though - Sunset Cove. :ernaehrung004: |

Have you tried Fishtales or the bar at Port Royale?
Fishtales = will be there as soon as I get the vessel wet. Web site looks great and I think exactly what the wife and I were looking for. LKN had about 7 places you coudl hit so I might be coming from a very unique place. |

Definitely Lanier.
I lived in Young Deere area for a few years. It's a bit farther out between exits 16-17 from Ga 400. Now I have been looking in the exit 14-15 areas. Ga hgwy 20 and Bald Ridge. I can't tell you how great it's been having Tiffiney(rbr's wife) help out. It a HUGE plus having someone that not only knows real estate but that knows THE LAKE. During the warm months I get up every other weekend from Ft. Lauderdale. I wouldn't miss it for anything. Atlanta will be my home 8 months a year starting in 2014 or so. Let me know if I can help, and see you this Summer. Greg |

The drive to Vann's Tavern is about 45 mins - 1 hr for us each way on the weekends. But, I don't have the 400 mess every day as I have to be at my office in permeter. |

Joking aside, Atlanta traffic was never an issue as I left well before or well after the busy hours. I have no idea how people can drive to work in that stuff every day. I drive 12 miles to and from the office. Can take 18 mins up to 1 hr. I have been making the commute and living in the greater ATL area about 10 months. |
