There is nothing like a good abandoned town in Georgia to get the heart pumping and the questions flowing, right? The Peach State is known for some of the creepiest, most historically rich abandoned spots in the state. Like a visit to the abandoned ruins of an infamous Georgia murder, for example. But this particular abandoned subdivision in Georgia was abandoned before it was even finished, and what was left behind is unnervingly spectacular. Take a look at one of the creepiest abandoned neighborhoods in Georgia!
A neighborhood subdivision near Dawsonville, Georgia has been abandoned for almost a decade, leaving behind a creepy post-apocalyptic scene.
The Greenleaf subdivision off Anderson Lake Road halted construction in 2006 and never started again. It's frozen in time forever, seemingly a strange reminder of everything that could have been but never was.
This left an entire neighborhood abandoned before the houses even became homes. So many possible memories disappeared into thin air when construction was stopped, never to be realized.
What could have happened to leave these homes as skeletons of a perfectly good neighborhood? We're sure it had plenty more to do with bureaucratic red tape than some spooky mystery, but still... it's kind of fun to speculate anyway.
Once construction stopped and the project was entirely abandoned, the homes were vandalized beyond repair.
Little but broken glass remained, plus plenty of graffiti on the walls - while all the copper had been removed, too. Each home was gutted and left an even emptier shell than it already was.
The ghost neighborhood hasnow undergone demolition, leaving some Georgians scratching their heads as to why this neighborhood never came to be.
