Cummings Real Estate Information

The former home of Junior Samples of Hee Haw fame, Cummings Georgia is the county seat of Forsyth County. Only forty miles from Atlanta along Highway 19, this small town of just over 4000 people is located near Lake Lanier.

Lake Lanier is known for its beautiful aqua blue water. Lake Lanier was built by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers in 1950. The lake provides flood control, hydroelectric power and recreation activities. With almost 700 miles of shoreline, almost any kind of water sport you can imagine is possible on Lake Lanier. Whether your sport is sailing, motor boating, water skiing or fishing, come to Lake Lanier. The lake offers beautiful areas for sightseeing as it is located in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. Seven and one half million visitors per year cannot be wrong.

While in Cummings take time to visit the Cumming Veterans Memorial. There you will find an American Soldier’s uniform draped over a Southern ladder-back at the end of the memorial avenue flanked with over 75 honoring those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Travel the short forty miles to Atlanta and you will find a modern metropolitan area with all the amenities you would expect in any large city. Atlanta is served by two major interstate highways that traverse the United States across its entirety. Running north to south is Interstate 75 which ties Atlanta to Miami Florida and the Northern most Michigan Border as well as many other cities in between. Interstate 20 connects North Carolina with Los Angeles making travel to the east or west very simple. If a long road trip is not your style, the Atlanta Airport has the distinction of having the most number of flights in the U.S. for the past seven years.
