Live Near Your Grandkids Along Georgia’s Coast!
As a grandparent, nothing beats a warm hug or bright smile from your grandkids after time apart. Moving closer to them can turn those occasional visits into everyday moments — especially when you choose a new Ernest home along Georgia’s beautiful coast.
Whether you’re an empty nester, downsizing, or just craving a change of scenery, making the decision to live near your grandkids is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and your family. If you’re dreaming about a move to Coastal Georgia, we’re here to help you picture what life could look like.
Why Live Near Your Grandkids in Coastal Georgia?
At Ernest Homes, we know that “home” is about more than square footage — it’s about who you share it with. For many of our homeowners, that means choosing a location that keeps them close to children and grandkids.
Our communities are thoughtfully located near top-rated schools, everyday conveniences, and family-friendly attractions. When you live near your grandkids, it’s easy to:
- Attend school plays, concerts, games, and graduations without getting on a plane.
- Help with after-school pick-ups, busy mornings, or the occasional date night for their parents.
- Be present for the “little” everyday moments that become the memories they treasure.
Enjoy the Coastal Georgia Lifestyle Together
In these welcoming Coastal Georgia cities and towns, life feels both exciting and relaxing. You can spend full days enjoying the scenery, mild weather, and charming Southern hospitality — with plenty of opportunities to make memories with your grandkids.
- Explore nearby parks, playgrounds, and walking trails.
- Visit botanical gardens, historic squares, and local festivals.
- Plan weekend adventures to Savannah, Tybee Island, or other nearby coastal destinations.
After a fun day out, you’ll return to a peaceful Ernest community with neighborhood amenities your grandkids will love, like community pools, playgrounds, and clubhouses (in select communities).
Make Everyday Moments Special at Home
One of the best parts of living near your grandkids is sharing ordinary days that feel extraordinary simply because you’re together. In your new Ernest home, you’ll have flexible spaces designed for connection and comfort.
- Host brunch in your bright breakfast room or gather everyone around the kitchen island for pancakes.
- Curl up in the spacious family room for movie nights, story time, or cheering on your favorite team.
- Enjoy game nights, crafts, or homework time in a cozy flex room, loft, or optional sunroom (plan specific).
- Head outside to your patio or covered porch to watch them play, blow bubbles, or roast s’mores.
Kids really do say and do the darndest things — and when you live close by, you’ll be there to see it all. Staying active with them helps keep your mind sharp, your heart full, and your days meaningful.
Right-Size Your Home, Upgrade Your Lifestyle
If you’re thinking about right-sizing, a thoughtfully designed new home can make daily life easier and more enjoyable. Many Ernest floor plans offer:
- Main-level owner’s suites or ranch-style layouts for convenient, low-maintenance living.
- Open-concept kitchens and great rooms that make it easy to host family gatherings.
- Guest bedrooms and baths perfect for sleepovers and holiday visits.
- Energy-efficient features that help keep your home comfortable and your utilities more manageable.
Imagine your grandkids being just a short car ride away instead of a long flight. You’ll be able to celebrate birthdays, attend recitals and games, and share holiday traditions — without watching the clock or worrying about travel.
