Harbor Club Blog

If you've been following some of the latest winter holiday trends, you know that the Danish tradition of hygge is a popular one right now. It's where you make your home a super-cozy, warm and comfy nest. The Danes created this movement as an effective coping mechanism for surviving the extreme boredom, cold, and dark of their long winters. Sure, there's nothing wrong with being hunkered down in the safety and comfort of your toasty home, but lucky for us at Harbor Club, there is no need. Our location in Georgia affords us wonderfully mild winters -- so we can head out whenever we wish during the colder months of the year.

Here at Harbor Club, we are so fortunate to have easy access to Lake Oconee--Georgia's second largest lake--amazing golf, shopping, dining, and more. There are other benefits of our location though. Harbor Club is conveniently located midway between Atlanta and Augusta and is just 40 minutes south of Athens. It's proximity to those cities puts us within arms-reach of all the best that Georgia has to offer -- such as top employers, educational institutions, professional sports, arts, and culture. 

As this year draws to a close, we are reflecting on all our wonderful blessings and accomplishments in 2018. What a year it has been! We have so much to be thankful for here at Harbor Club -- most especially for our fantastic residents and members. We are proud that our Southern Living-Inspired Community continues to be a tremendous place to live, work, and play. These are some of the highlights from this past year that make for happy holidays indeed.

Wondering what's cool and new for this holiday season? We've explored some of the latest trends for 2018 and found a few that may surprise you. 

The holidays are coming, and so is the time to give special gifts to cherished family and friends. As you gather your list and check it twice, consider gifting some experiences this year rather than tangible goods. Why? Scientific studies have shown that the happiness we get from material goods diminishes over time -- but that's not the case with experiences.

Sometimes you've been planning it for a while. Sometimes it’s a matter of luck -- such as a new job, an opportunity to work from home, or better yet, retirement. Whatever the catalyst may be for moving to a new place, how do you find your ideal community? It doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We've put together a helpful planning guide with six simple steps on how to discover the perfect one for you.
