I moved from rural Georgia to Duluth. It is comfortably close to all the activity Atlanta offers, but is less congested. Our home is surrounded by woods, creeks and hiking trails. The city offers many events through the year. Our favorite is the summertime outdor theater when they show movies, have activities for the kids and great food trucks. Moved here for the schools - stayed for the neighbors. Great place to live!
Review Duluth
I have lived here for 13 years! The city is clean and the people are generally friendly. There are a lot of restaurants and quite a few activities! Parks, bowling alleys, movie theaters, shopping centers, but in general places close pretty early. If you're a night owl, this may not be a place for you!
This area is overall perfect for raising a family. Many things to do, as well as, many educational sights to see. Overall great beginnings. The only downfall would be over congestion, as many people love the area as much as I do!
