Welcome to Helen

An Alpine Village With the Blue Ridge Mountains as Its Backyard

There truly isn’t another town in Georgia quite like Helen.

Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Chattahoochee River, this colorful Alpine village may be one of Georgia’s best-known mountain destinations, but living near Helen means experiencing an entirely different side of it.

Beyond the Bavarian architecture, restaurants, and festivals is an incredible outdoor lifestyle. The Chattahoochee River runs right through town, while Unicoi State Park, Anna Ruby Falls, hiking trails, waterfalls, wineries and the Chattahoochee National Forest create what can feel like an enormous backyard.

Each season brings something different. Summer means tubing and days on the river. Fall transforms the surrounding mountains with color and brings one of Helen’s busiest seasons. Winter gives the Alpine village an almost storybook atmosphere, and spring brings the mountains back to life.

The surrounding real estate is just as distinctive. Mountain cabins, creek and river properties, wooded retreats, vacation homes, investment properties, acreage and private residences can all be found in and around the Helen area.

For buyers searching for a second home, mountain escape, investment property or simply a place where outdoor adventure is part of everyday life, Helen offers something that’s difficult to duplicate anywhere else in Georgia.

Because sometimes you don’t want to wait all year for your mountain vacation.

You want to live where everyone else comes to escape.
