Atlanta Boomers Are Moving To This Scenic Florida City With Affordable Living And Sandy Beaches

There are many reasons why someone would choose to live in Atlanta. It has a bustling downtown area with attractions and restaurants, and it's a major corporate hub. But for Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 who are no longer in the workforce, the hustle and bustle of daily life in the big city may no longer be serving them. For those looking for a more laid-back lifestyle, Florida's Panama City, located in the Panhandle, could be worth considering. Panama City's proximity to Gulf Coast beaches offers opportunities for frequent beach trips, and recent migration data suggests that the surrounding area is attracting some Atlanta baby boomers.

Cobb advances application for Atlanta Road apartment complex

A zoning application to transform a former Pilot truck stop into a 249-unit apartment complex in Vinings has advanced to the Board of Commissioners. During its zoning hearing Tuesday, the Cobb Planning Commission unanimously voted to advance developer Flournoy Development Group’s application to the Board of Commissioners without a recommendation following concerns raised about the proposed complex’s potential traffic impact. The application proposes rezoning a 3.79-acre site just off I-285 to construct a five-story apartment complex. The site, located at 4600 Atlanta Road, just off the northbound exit of I-285, in Vinings, was the former site of a Pilot truck stop and is currently owned by the county, according to Kevin Moore, an attorney representing Flournoy. The proposed building would have 288,000 square feet of residential space, according to county documents. Floor plans were not provided in Flournoy’s application, and it is unclear what the average square footage of each unit will be. According to a stipulation letter from Moore to county zoning staff, the proposed building will be four stories tall along the side facing Atlanta Road, while the side facing I-285 will be five stories tall. “(Flournoy Development Group) are a known player, a known developer, in this
