Current Resident: I enjoy the family friendly atmosphere. You can still do fun things since it is a suburb of Atlanta, but it is still quiet and calm enough for families with small children.... Read 19 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived here for a year and so far I love this community. I feel very safe, everything is close by and everyone is friendly. I would like to see more diversity in the area. I love the fact that many people in this community are college students, we can connect even if we are attending different schools.... Read 8 reviews

Current Resident: Many restaurants, various grocery stores, public transportation available, various public elementary, middle, and high schools. I would say that night life is 3.5/5 because there's always cars and people passing by no matter the time. There's also a police station a few minutes away and an AMR, so in case of emergencies, they are more likely to assist you right away. Some buildings are in poor condition, but recently they have begun to work on them, like Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Taco Bell.... Read 74 reviews

Current Resident: The area has exploded over the past 15 years. With the film industry thriving in and around Atlanta, North Decatur has experienced in influx of transplants from all over the country. The expansion of the Children’s Healthcare facilities have also brought a mass amount of new jobs, with which comes the necessity for additional housing coming up all over the place. The roots of the area are still here, you just have to know where to look.... Read 23 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Sandy Springs for 11 years, and the Atlanta area for 36 years including my time in Sandy Springs. Overall, a wonderful place to live with a more neighborhood feel while having all the amenities of a big city. I know all my neighbors, and they represent a very diverse segment of society but everyone gets along, helps when needed, and really care about the neighborhood. The schools are excellent, very low crime, and an excellent fire/police department. Sandy Springs itself is an incorporated entity so the property taxes are separate from the City of Atlanta - the new government center is incredibly well run, and I can’t believe I’m saying that about anything government-related! I would say the only negative I can think of is that the area itself is expensive - as it is within Fulton County. There continues to be development and improvements in infrastructure, and the location is ideal for getting around. Love Sandy Springs overall!... Read 234 reviews

Current Resident: My experience with Smyrna has been truly wonderful. The community here is warm and welcoming, creating a strong sense of belonging that I really value. I love the balance Smyrna offers — it has the charm of a small town with the convenience of nearby city amenities. The parks and green spaces are beautiful and well-maintained, perfect for outdoor activities and family time. Local restaurants and shops add character and make everyday living enjoyable. What stands out most is the friendly neighborhood vibe and the community events that bring people together. It feels safe and family-friendly, which is important to me. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to expand some public transportation options to make getting around even easier. But overall, Smyrna is a fantastic place to live, and I’m grateful to be part of such a vibrant community.... Read 188 reviews

Current Resident: Living in Decatur has been a mixed experience that shaped my mindset, motivation, and goals. It’s not the most diverse place, and at times, it can feel limited in terms of exposure, opportunity, and support. But in many ways, those challenges have pushed me to grow, to seek more, and to want better for myself and my future. In Decatur, I’ve learned how to navigate environments that don’t always reflect who I am or where I’m trying to go. That’s built resilience in me. I’ve had to carve out my own path, look for opportunities outside of what’s immediately available, and stay focused on my goals—even when it felt like the odds were stacked against me. This city has taught me the importance of knowing who you are and not settling for the bare minimum. I’ve seen what complacency can do, and I’ve made a promise to myself not to fall into that cycle. I want more—more growth, more knowledge, more impact. And that hunger was born out of the quiet, overlooked corners of this community.... Read 219 reviews

Current Resident: The area has conveniences to shopping, entertainment and restaurants. I like that it gives me a sense of balance between peace and access, nature and convenience. The area has a quiet charm, with parks nearby for family fun for swimming, basketball, biking and picnicking. It has great mix modern, traditional and contemporary housing, that offers a variety of living options. The area is comfortable, familiar, and grounding. One of the things I really appreciate about living here is the quality of the schools. They consistently provide an above-average education, with dedicated teachers, strong academic programs, and a variety of extracurricular opportunities that really support well-rounded development. It’s the kind of environment where students are encouraged to thrive, not just academically but personally too. As much as I enjoy living here, it’s not without its downsides. One of the main things is the traffic it can get congested making short trips much longer than the anticipated.... Read 412 reviews

Current Resident: Overall, my experience living in Johns Creek has been very positive. The public schools that I attended, from elementary to high school, are highly rated in terms of the quality of teaching they provide. My community is diverse and I have met and maintained friendships with friends and their families of many different cultural backgrounds. I have enjoyed foods, products and experiences in festivals held at school and within the community. The only change I would like to see is more restaurants, shops and entertainment that can be enjoyed by all ages. I can see that our community leaders have already made plans and have begun construction to build greens space areas, and a hub that will include shops, restaurants and entertainment. I cannot wait to experience it once it is complete!... Read 336 reviews

Current Resident: I have grown up in Roswell and have thrived throughout my high school years. Downtown is beautiful and cozy, with many shops, boutiques, and restaurants.
