Just wanted to add that dahlonega is actually only 35 minutes away from a larger suburb (Gainesville) and 30 mins away from the closest target, but there's a super cool outlet mall in dahlonega that people love to visit.
@coreymcduffie5254was just gonna say the same! The outlet mall is in Dawsonville which isn’t too far from Dahlonega! I don’t recall seeing a target there when I pass through on the way to Dahlonega and Blairsville, though
IF you have the Bucks , expensive now since after Covid , most people from the Blue States are buying up homes and property , and the locals that been there for years are not happy , and don't like outsiders , just be aware .
When I visit North Carolina, I often stay in Lenoir, where I visit friends, and as it a less than 20 miles drive to Morganton, I visited quite a few times, and find it a very nice place with a lot of history including the infamous Frankie Silver trial and hanging. 😀
Love the pic with Tyra in front of Catawba Brewing 2:27. She's our 14-year-old serval and Morganton's unofficial mascot. :) Great review of special places - Morganton certainly is one.
All these towns look beautiful. Would love to visit them. So my one question would be, how accepting are these small towns of diversity? People of color? Me & the hubs love to explore new towns, eat out & go to breweries & wineries but are we going to be stared down for say speaking Spanish?
Hello! I lived all over the south where the Appalachian mountains are. You're more likely to find diverse cultures in north Georgia, a little north of Atlanta (think Gainesville/lula area) all though they aren't as moutainy. Just avoid north east Tennessee and some parts of southern north Carolina because those people are super patriotic and a lot of them don't have super diverse towns which sucks because it's so close to a major melting pot, however in general most people in Appalachia are super friendly and accepting of a lot of people :) as for other mountain ranges in the US at least, lots of places in the rocky mountains are super duper diverse especially in Colorado and the California moutains. I've found the people in Colorado are extremely loving (in the right places ofc) 💖
I love to travel with my husband as well and frequently go to the NC mountains. I have been scared to go to some places mostly because of rumors but have never personally encountered racist behavior. I go to a lot of areas and festivals that may be mostly white populated and they are very kind and peaceful.
I have to interject about Manchester, NH. I live in NH and can say there are better towns in NH that are ACTUALLY in the mountains. Manchester, yes has a lot of history, but beyond that, there is a lot of crime there. Save your money and do not move there.

Gainsville SUCKS been there ,
I love living in Morganton!!! Can’t believe I have found a video on it!
It’s a cool little town! What is your favorite thing about living there?
@@EllenPitts The magnificent views of table rock!!
Looks beautiful. Question? How welcoming is it to people of color?
Anywhere in North Carolina is going to be friendly.
@@stephaniegalan8009 Agreed! Everyone is welcome, we treat everyone the same!!
Warning Manchester NH has huge drug problems do due diligence before moving your family there.
I agree, I live in NH and I would never move my family there.
It’s pronounced Duh La Nega
We used to go camping there every summer
Thanks for the tip!
Totally want to move to one of these. Western North Carolina seems to be the move.
Ahh go figure , another yank
@@chrisp.c2065 lol, nah
Western North Carolina is gorgeous!
Don’t come here, it sucks.

Pronounced as Duh-Lon-uh-guh. Not Don-a-Lay-guh. I live nearby.
I actually knew that I just forget since I don't hear it often! LOL!
Love Morganton. . . Courthouse is great!!

I’m glad you enjoyed it!! Does Tyra belong to you??? How cool!
@@EllenPitts We are her humans. "Belong" is not a word choice she recognizes ;)
Well she’s a feline!! 😂 Kitties have an interesting relationship with humans!!
You are mispronouncing Dahlonega
Thank you! Great info and video.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Morganton has a solid Spanish population and the Catholic church offers a Sunday Spanish mass, Hmong Chinese too!
Locals DO NOT like Outsiders , don't move there .
People on a broken shoestring budget can't afford homes in the price range you mentioned.😥
Learn to pronounce Dahlonega!!!! So many of these sites never get towns correct?????
Dah-LON-ega
Well at least Leavenworth WA wasn't listed lol. Most of the US can't afford a house over 200k. The ultra rich skew the averages that these vids go by.
Tips: don't put your big self blocking photos people wanna see. Good bless
It’s Duh-lawn-ah-guh lol
Most of these towns are at elevations under 1000 feet😑
A lot of them are in valleys of moutains

Mountain towns are kryptonite to criminals. Especially if they're cold for a good portion of the year.
Probably why their property values are higher.
Lol..all these homes are over 350,000...
