Rome Reviews

Write a review about Rome Tell people what you like or don't like about Rome…
Ready to go 1 rating By Anonymous ( Sep 20, 2019) If you like having to always stay armed even in your yard, Rome is your place. If you want sweltering heat and 100% humidity for 9 months out of 12, then Rome’s your place. If you don’t mind battling breathing issues due to the worst air quality in the entire southeast, then ...Read More Rome’s for you. If you like being confronted by con artists and homeless people everywhere you go in town attempting to rob you for drug money then Rome is your place.

While we have great places to eat in Rome, I can easily get to Tennessee or Alabama an hour too. We can take the kids to the Aquarium in Atlanta, see the museums in Tennessee, and have dinner in Alabama, all in the same day. Skiing in Georgia, you bet! Some of the best mountains are in this region too.

Our neighborhood is full of life-long Georgia families who have the biggest hearts in the country. With four different state parks surrounding Rome, there is never a shortage of things to do. Some of the best areas in Rome are the golf courses, ballparks, and the numerous museums. Read Less
