Atlanta GA Real Estate
 Georgia's
landscape is diverse and is divided into six regions but essentially
there is the mountainous area, the hilly piedmont area and the
coastal plains. The mountainous area in the north is sublime with
forested mountains and green valleys. Hardwood trees and pine
cover the slopes of Atlanta
Georgia's mountainous area. Oaks, Beech, black tupelos, hickories,
sweet gums, tulip trees, tupelos and walnut trees are common in
these high regions that range from about 2,000 to about 5,000
feet above sea level.
Georgia's mountains are a part of the Appalachian Mountains which
are not as dramatic as the Rocky Mountains in the central and
western United States. The Appalachian Mountains are older geologically
by probably millions of years and their steep cliffs and peaks
have been worn down through time by wind and water.
The Appalachian Mountains have more diversity of plant life than
the Rocky Mountains. Forests cover about 70 percent of Georgia
and along with its many kinds of trees there are Laurels and rhododendrons
throughout the area.The mountains not only offer scenic hiking
and drives but water rafting, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and
horseback riding. If you are ever in the area you will also many
kinds of animals. From the mountains to the hills to the coast,
there are many creatures such as bears, beavers, foxes, deer,
squirrels, raccoons, rabbits and opossums. In fact, the hill of
any Atlanta Georgia real
estate has at least a few of these animals visiting. It's
not uncommon to see a deer grazing in the suburbs of Atlanta or
spy rabbits hopping in nearby lawns or fields.
Below the mountains there are rolling hills in the Piedmont area
where Atlanta is located. The gentle hills are verdant and many
birds are attracted to its many trees and plentiful water. Quail,
wild turkeys, marsh hens, ruffed grouse, doves and ducks are plentiful
as are songbirds. Georgia's songbirds are melodious and it is
common to hear them singing. Thrashers, mockingbirds and wood
thrushes are some of the songbirds that fill forests and fields
with sweet tunes.
There's Atlanta Georgia real estate where you can see and hear
many creatures that will delight and entertain you. Beautiful
hilly landscapes and long sunsets offer Georgian's much more environmental
treats than many other states in the nation or regions in the
world. Come see the alligator filled swamps or the largest
bird refuge in the country.
