From Visitors to Locals: Making Kingsland Your New Home
Tucked away on Georgia’s scenic southeast coast, Kingsland is more than a great place to visit—it’s a place to put down roots. Whether you’ve fallen in love with our natural beauty during a weekend getaway or you’re relocating for a new job or chapter in life, we’re excited to welcome you to our community.
From rich history and outdoor adventure to great schools and hometown hospitality, Kingsland offers the charm of a small town with the convenience of being just minutes from the Florida state line and coastal destinations like Cumberland Island, Okefenokee Swamp, and Crooked River State Park.
The Kingsland area lives up to its motto—Where Nature Reigns—with endless waterways, moss-draped oaks, and year-round access to outdoor fun. Residents enjoy kayaking along the Crooked River, hiking forested trails, or watching the sunrise over marshland—all without leaving town. It’s easy to embrace an active, fresh-air lifestyle here, whether you’re a weekend adventurer or just enjoy a peaceful evening walk.
Officially incorporated in 1908, Kingsland grew alongside the railroad systems, connecting coastal Georgia with the rest of the Southeast. Our roots are deep in timber, transportation, and trade—and today, Kingsland blends historic pride with forward-looking community growth.
We’re also just a skip away from Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, a major hub of both national defense and local life. Many residents are active-duty military families, veterans, or civilian support staff who help make Kingsland a diverse and welcoming hometown.
People move to Kingsland for many reasons, but they stay for the quality of life. Whether you’re retiring in a peaceful neighborhood, raising a family, or starting a new job, you’ll find that Kingsland fits your lifestyle. Here’s what makes Kingsland a great place to call home:
– Family-Friendly Neighborhoods with a range of housing options
– Top-Rated Camden County Schools and youth programs
– Easy Access to Quality Healthcare
– Mild Year-Round Weather and easy access to beaches and miles of trails and local parks
– A Strong Sense of Community with festivals, parades, and local events – Check out our Annual Events!
One of Kingsland’s biggest advantages is its ideal location. Just a short 30-minute drive south, you’ll find Jacksonville, Florida, with its vibrant dining scene, professional sports, cultural attractions, and Jacksonville International Airport—your gateway to the world. Kingsland also offers easy access to some of the region’s most beautiful beaches, including Amelia Island and Jekyll Island, so you can enjoy sun and sand without paying island prices. And because Kingsland sits just off I-95, traveling north to Savannah or south to Orlando is a breeze. Best of all, you get all this access without the daily stress or cost of big-city or resort-area living, making Kingsland the perfect blend of connectivity and calm.
