Cumming, Georgia is a friendly, fast-growing Atlanta suburb that feels livable for multi-week stays—think a walkable historic square with restaurants and breweries, easy access to Lake Lanier for boating and water sports, plenty of hiking at Sawnee Mountain Preserve, and regular community events that keep weeks interesting.
Weekends are flexible: Alpharetta’s dining and nightlife are about 20–30 minutes away, and downtown Atlanta — museums, pro sports, and an international airport — is roughly 40–50 minutes, so you won’t be stuck if you crave bigger-city options.
