When it comes to location, Gainesville, Georgia is second to none. Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Gainesville is surrounded on three sides by Lake Sidney Lanier. Gainesville is small enough to know your neighbor, yet large enough to offer the services and cultural experiences of a much larger city.
Even though Gainesville is the business hub of northeast Georgia, it is still centered on family, with a variety of recreational activities designed for the whole family. Whether you are spending weekends at Lake Sidney Lanier, or evenings at the Gainesville Bowling Center. Learn while having fun at the Interactive Neighborhood for Kids, the Elachee Nature Science Center, or while taking a walking tour of the solar system; and when you are ready to get wet, any season of the year, visit the Frances Meadows Aquatic Center, which features indoor and outdoor swimming pools and truly is open all year round.
The Gainesville community is incredibly proud of their historic downtown and Main Street, preserving it through a focus on business, general events and a promotion of the arts. Throughout summer and fall you can expect a regular series of events in downtown, but the shopping is available all the time with an emphasis on locally owned businesses. Art studios, home decor, clothing and unique book stores all vie for your attention, and ensure your experience is personal and very different to what you would find in a mall. The big national brands are available, naturally, from Target, Walmart and Marshalls, to JCPenney and Sears at the Lakeshore Mall.
There are plenty of opportunities to support the local arts in Gainesville, from the local Arts Council, to the Gainesville Theatre Alliance. Whether you enjoy light jazz, an elegant symphony, or enjoy a picnic and a movie with the family at the summer Movies on the Green Series.
Gainesville is home to seven public schools falling under the auspices of the Gainesville City School District, and over thirty more public schools managed by the Hall County School District and Forsyth County School District. For post-secondary education you have a choice between the University of North Georgia, Brenau University and the Interactive College of Technology.
