What it’s like
The place. Warrenton is a small city and the seat of Warren County, Georgia. Household incomes here run below the county's, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and typical home values are modest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also employing local people. Selectis Health, Heartwood Products and Hawkins Logging & Timber Co are among the largest workplaces in Warrenton. The county has seen a drop in jobs over the past year, and the daily drive to work is short.
Things to do. Childers Creek, a river, is a short drive away and the closest spot for time by the water. A longer drive brings you to A. H. Stephens State Park, a protected area, and to Lake Oconee, a large reservoir. Winters are cool and mild, and summers are hot, so spring and autumn suit time outdoors.
