Seems pretty good to me. I've lived here most of my life and I've never really had any issues. It's a decent sized town and while it doesn't have a ton of things to do, I'd say it's doing okay in general with the selection available. It's got a good variety of grocery stores, restaurants and other niche stores. I'd say the crime level is quite low. Very little to complain about.
The great thing about Atlantic is the small community. Generally if there are any issues, they are taken care of by the entire town. There are always people to help and donate time and goods for a cause. The one thing that this small community lacks is, entertainment. While they have some staple for entertainment, the ability to do these things depends on weather. The golfing and Frisbee golfing are pretty fantastic, but those aren't really great for the winter. The only real thing to do in the winter is utilizing the movie theater. Not enough options.
Atlantic is a great place to live. Our downtown is charming, especially at Christmas time. The people are friendly. The schools are good. There are many community events.
