What many consider to be the new crossroads of the North Atlanta Metro area, Hwy 53 and Hwy 85 bring together the new with the classic. Historic Braselton provides a natural backsplash for the Traditions community. You can enjoy the downtown revitalization in Breaselton or in nearby Hoschton - and Jefferson. Enjoy a day at the winery, a magnificent Sunday brunch, or the spa at next door Chateau Elan, or take the family for a day to nearby Lake Lanier Islands, where boating, skiing, fishing and waterslides are plentiful. From Traditions it is also not a far stretch to enjoy Georgia's largest lake, Lake Hartwell.

A short excursion can find you and your family in the North GA mountains, where you can enjoy the day at Amicalola Falls, go hiking in the foothills of the Appalachians, or relax in the German inspired town of Helen, GA.

Enjoy a huge scoop - or two if your dare - from Mayfield Dairy Farm just down the road.

You can also enjoy a day in the classic city of Athens GA, where great music, sites and culture abound - or take in a game between the Hedges!

Area Shopping

Area shopping is plentiful and includes the largest mall in the Southeast just down the road at the Mall of Georgia. There you can peruse most every major retailer and resturant you can imagine or let the kids run through the water park in the back of the mall. The Mall of Georgia, less than a scenic 20 minute drive, incudes all the major retailers, resturants, and specialty stores someone could want. It also has a 20 screen movie theatre including a huge IMAX theatre for the greatest movie experience.

You and the family can also enjoy a day at Discover Mills where kids can wonder at the giant fish tank at Bass Pro Shops or you and your can enjoy a mug of grog at the Medieval Times while cheering on your favorite knight.

If antique-ing is your thing you can check out the largest flea market in Georgia in nearby Pendegrass. Or head over to the discount center at the Tanger Outlets in Commerce.
