One thing’s for sure in Macon! Rents are really, really cheap. It might be because it has a really high rental vacancy rate, but that doesn’t mean settling down here isn’t worth it.

You’ll certainly feel like you’re part of American history here and that’s all thanks to the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park. This park, dating back 17,000 years, is a prehistoric American Indian site. What better place for you to immerse yourself in Native culture?

Still looking for places to visit? The Ocmulgee Wetlands are a favorite spot for other active seniors. You’ll most definitely find your favorite go-to hiding spot somewhere in the 700 acres of wetlands!
