Omega, GA

Located about ten miles southwest of Tifton, Omega is a quiet south Georgia town of roughly 1,300 residents surrounded by farmland. It got its start in the late 1800s as a railroad stop for timber, but today it is a peaceful, close-knit community. Living here gives you a relaxed rural setting along with a quick drive into Tifton for bigger grocery runs, dining, and healthcare.
