About Shannon

Tucked into Floyd County just off Highway 53, Shannon is a quiet community set between Rome and Calhoun. It has deep roots dating back to the 1830s, though today it moves at a relaxed, rural pace. Homes here are surrounded by open pastures and wooded lots, giving residents plenty of breathing room. Local kids attend the nearby Model schools, which serve as a familiar community anchor for families throughout the area.

Living in Shannon offers the quiet of the north Georgia countryside alongside easy access to surrounding towns. Rome is just a short drive down the highway for work, healthcare, and dining, while Calhoun and Interstate 75 are close enough for a simple daily commute. It is an appealing choice for people who want generous yard space, scenic views, and a laid-back lifestyle within reach of modern conveniences.
