High quality of life and low cost of living.
“In Blount County, Alabama we found the perfect combination of high quality of life and low cost of living. We could have retired anywhere in the country, but the stunningly beautiful natural setting and the friendly people made this an easy choice."

- Barbara Anderson
Blount Resident of 17 years
