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.

The Powder Springs City Council unanimously approved a development with 251 apartments and 24 townhomes during this week's council meeting. The development, proposed by Wood Partners, sits on 14.65 acres at the intersection of Lewis and Oglesby roads, near C.H. James Parkway. Kenneth Wood with Planners and Engineers Collaborative, representing the project, said the developers met with nearby residents to help shape the plan and decreased apartment height. Plans for the development include two separate residential areas. One side of the property is set to hold 251 multi-family units in four four-story buildings, with 5,200 square feet of amenity space, including a pool. The other half of the property will have 24 two-story townhomes. Between both residential areas, the proposal includes a 17,000-square-foot public park. For the apartment units, 384-parking spaces are proposed. Each townhome would have a two-car garage with space for two additional cars in each driveway. Designs for the property, which backs up to the nearby Springbrooke Estates subdivision, includes a 30-foot landscape buffer, as well as a six-foot fence. A natural tree buffer along a creek, which bisects the property, is included. The development requires a homeowners association. The council approved the development with 13 stipulations,

Town Center master plan envisions more walkable, mixed-use development

This week, the Town Center Community Improvement District provided a first look at its upcoming 30-year master plan at its annual State of the District. The CID is entering its 30th year of operation in 2027. CID leaders met at the Governors Gun Club in Kennesaw to recap some key achievements from its first three decades, and offer a look ahead to the future. The CID serves a roughly 6.25-square-mile area in unincorporated Cobb County and Kennesaw, and includes Town Center Mall. The district, founded in 1997, self-imposes a 5-mill property tax on commercial properties in order to fund infrastructure and community development. “We stand on the shoulders of so many people who came before us, investing in their time and talent and treasure, in order to think about what Town Center could be,” said Tracy Styf, the CID’s executive director. “So for us, with our master plan, it truly is an opportunity to give back to them for everything that they’ve done, but also really look forward to the future and say, what will we look like for this next generation?” In her community update, Styf expressed gratitude for Town Center’s near-30 years of growth and touched on some
