St. Marys, GA
It is not a big city, don't pretend it is. -
12/6/2019You have to know what you want. Don't expect St Marys to be something it's not. If you want traffic and congestion, don't move here.
It was a small town that depended on a paper mill for almost 100 years. When it closed, it crippled the town. 20 years later, the town is still here and is on the rise. The downtown district has tons of history, caring people, festivals, parades, an amazing water front. Could there be more? Sure, but do you want to make this town something it's not?
I love this town! I love what it is!

12/6/2019I must say the move from 40 years in Metro Atlanta to St Marys has been a breath of fresh air. I would gladly trade the traffic, the noise, the attitudes, the over crowded schools of metro Atlanta for the quiet, "boring" life in St Marys. When we were house hunting after my job relocated me to Jacksonville, as soon as we found historic downtown, we knew this is where we needed to be. We have more golf carts drive by the house than cars. the view of Cumberland Island is amazing. The sunrise over the ocean is breathtaking. We have the greatest neighbors. I can't say enough good things about downtown St Marys. I WILL NEVER MOVE BACK TO ATLANTA after experiencing St Marys.
