Jasper, Georgia SperlingViews

If you want a quiet, rural place to retire to and still be a short driving distance to a national transportation hub, then Jasper, Ga. might be the place for you.

Jasper has shopping facilities, schools, doctors, a hospital, community centers and alot of caring people; and is located about 70 miles north of Atlanta, where you can hop on a plane and go just about anywhere in the world.

Located in the mountains of North Georgia, Jasper's climate is temperate--not too hot in Summer and not too cold in Winter. It rarely gets above 90 degrees in Summer; and the few times it snows in Winter, it is usually just short flurries. Springtime brings out the blossoms of dogwood, mountain laurel, azalea, and rhododendron; and the Fall season is ablaze with spectacular colors.
