Helen, GA Real Estate. New Homes, Resale Homes & Foreclosures

Helen, GA, located about 95 miles northeast of Atlanta in White County, is a replica of a Bavarian alpine town complete with cobblestone streets to Old World architecture. Thirty years ago, the floundering town needed a jump start. With the help of three business men and a local artist they conceived and drew up the plans for an alpine village. Today, Helen has over 200 specialty and import shops, several themed restaurants and more than 1,000 plus rooms to accommodate what has become one of the top tourist destinations in North Georgia.

Tourism is the main industry in Helen, catering mostly to weekend visitors from the Atlanta area. Helen is extremely busy in autumn during Oktoberfest when six weeks of celebration offer Bavarian beer, schnitzel, dancing, and all of the polka music you can handle.

Helen also offers plenty of outdoor adventures and sightseeing, including the breathtaking Anna Ruby Falls, the area's best canoeing, kayaking, and tubing adventures on the Chattahoochee River, hiking to the top of the 4,458 foot high Blood Mountain on the Appalachian Trail, and some of the best fly fishing available on Dukes Creek and the many tributaries of the Chattahoochee River.

A range of restaurants, plenty of shopping, and even gold mine tours also give proof of the one-of-a-kind town's welcome combination of history, nature, and family-friendly fun.
