Transport and commuting · Hall and Gwinnett
Getting around Rest Haven
Rest Haven's road story is short and honest: country two-lanes at the Hall and Gwinnett line, the Oakwood interchange about five minutes away, and Lake Lanier about ten minutes the other way.
Buford and its retail are a short drive down the county roads, and there is no transit to speak of.
The roads
Five minutes to the interstate, ten to the lake
The local two-lanes run to the Oakwood interchange on I-985 in about five minutes and the Lanier shore in about ten; Buford sits a short drive down the same roads. The country lanes themselves are the community's identity, and they are deliberately quiet.
Transit
The honest car note
There is no transit service in Rest Haven; the community runs on cars, and the practical connections are the I-985 corridor at Oakwood and the Buford roads, both a short drive.
