"Quiet, but only for those who love the outdoors."

I only recommend this area for those who LOVE the outdoors. This road is a dirt road that will take you along Rock Creek stream and down to the fish hatchery. The fish hatchery is a great place to take the kids to look at the wonderful trout that are being raised there. There are lots of places along the road to pull off so you can fish in the stream or just enjoy the view. The dirt road is many miles long and takes you around beautiful mountains. The closest businesses are about forty minutes away, so be fully prepared with food, drinks, and whatever else you may need when you come here. Great fishing, hiking, and camping.

"Quiet, pleasant and off the beaten path!"

This is a great place for those who love the outdoors. The residents are very friendly. There is not a lot to do other than hike, fish, hunt, canoe,etc. There are no stores nearby other than a small gas station and local governments and other businesses are about thirty minutes away. There are lots of mountains and trails for sight-seers. This is a great place to take beautiful pictures of the wonderful outdoors. Great place to visit in the Fall when the leaves are changing colors.

"Great place for the park lover"

This road takes you to Tammen Park. During the different seasons there are soccer and/or softball games there. The park is right along the river so there is also fishing, rafting, tubing, canoeing. This is a great place for those who love the outdoors. It is about three miles outside of town so there is quick access to many other things like places to eat, stores, hospital, gyms, and lots more. Wonderful place that I recommend if you want to get out for the day and enjoy nature.

"Great place to live for families and retirees."

This is the entrance to a great neighborhood, Riverwood Subdivision. It is a very quiet yet friendly place and all the neighbors get along and are wonderful. There are sidewalks throughout for those who enjoy walking. The neighborhood is only a couple of miles from downtown Blue Ridge where there is a lot of things, such as shopping (lots of antiques), eating, court house, parks, arts and crafts, and lots of other businesses. I would recommend this for the person that likes the quiet at home but also loves to get out to walk around and visit stores. Overall it is a wonderful place.

"Great place but very secluded"

This is a great area of Fannin County to live and visit but is very secluded. It is not for someone who wants to shop or go out. Things to do around here would be hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities. All the neighbors are super friendly and welcome everyone. It is a great place to go to for relaxing. There is minimal cell phone service and no stores (other than a little country store) around. It is about 30-40 minutes away from downtown Blue Ridge so be prepared. I love to go here when I am stressed and needing quiet time to myself.

"Great place to Live!"

I live have lived on Laurelwood Lane in Blue Ridge for three years and if I ever have to move I will be devastated. This is in a neighborhood that is very quiet and peaceful. All the neighbors are super friendly and get along well with each other. It is within two miles of downtown so you have access to everything including schools, health facilities, gyms, stores, resteraunts, and many other things. It is a wonderful place to live for families, couples, retirees, and singles.

"It is your normal Highway"

Highway 515 North in Blue Ridge is really your typical highway. There are lots of things to do and places to see but the traffic is bad. You can access many hotels, resteraunts, and stores from the highway. There are many resteraunts including Zaxby's, Circle J Steak House, McDonalds, Arbys, The Cabin Grille, and The Cast Iron Skillet. Stores on this street include Roses, Goodys, Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, and many more. Blue Ridge is a great place to live but this is your average highway.
