  • Marine and lakeside sports, from fishing to boating, sailing, and yachting, with private berths available for boat owners
  • Team and partner sports, with pickleball, tennis, fitness, and golf as great ways to socialize
  • Outdoor recreation, with abundant hiking, cycling routes, and trails for those who love to adventure off the beaten track

Georgia Cost of Living and Taxes

Retirees looking for community homes in Georgia may be pleasantly surprised at the state’s easy affordability, with real estate costing 21% below the national average, transport and services 4% less, and utilities around 13% less. Georgia's general living costs are 10% lower than the national average, with the state considered tax-friendly for retirees, without any inheritance or estate taxes, and no tax on Social Security benefits.

When considering what taxes do retirees pay in Georgia, there are state income taxes but generous exemptions which increase with age and reduce taxes payable against pensions, dividends, interest earnings, and annuities. Alongside these tax breaks and the number of high-demand resort-style active adult communities, Georgia has rapidly become one of the go-to destinations for retirees looking for a relaxed, comfortable retirement in a warm-weather state.

The Benefits of Choosing a 55 Plus Residential Community in Georgia

For many retirees, the perfect private gated communities and homes offer great living spaces, with extra beds and capacity to accommodate family visitors, in tranquil surroundings with the ease of excellent travel connections to ensure there is no restriction on the ability to visit loved ones or leave for vacations. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport provides numerous services as one of the largest aviation hubs, with well-developed transport links from the mountain and lake resorts to nearby cities.

The diversity of beaches, forests, rivers, and lakes alongside vibrant cities offers the best of both worlds. With a mild year-round climate, Georgia is a great match for retirees looking for an active lifestyle and opportunities to tour the wider area and discover something new every trip.
