  1. Lilburn

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 117 reviews
    #1 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I have lived in Lilburn 20+ years. My neighborhood has changed through the years with new delights. It's all about family, education, good Schools, parks/recreation, faith, new restaurants and any retail establishment within 5 miles. People respect the rights and property of others. I believe our county is one of the most diverse county in the State. It is suburban with a small town feel. The City of Lilburn's Main Street and Lilburn City Park add to the quaint old town charm. It's a great place to call home!

  2. Duluth

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA

    #2 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Just moved to Duluth from the North a year ago. We wanted to settle down somewhere in the suburbs of Atlanta and didn’t have any idea where. We chose Duluth to start which wasn’t a permanent dececision but with its booming development, impressive downtown organizations and events, feeling of safety, and overall ammenities for our money we just don’t want to move anywhere else. I see home prices rising and affordability might not last for that long because it continues to get nicer and nicer. We love it hear! Duluth continues to impress me and the mayor really seems to have her eye on the prize and it makes us excited about all we can enjoy here.

    • 21 reviews
    #3 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Small unknown (ITP) community about 15 minutes from Atlanta and 5 minutes from the city of Decatur. Most people have never heard of it so it's growing (gentrification) under the radar. The diversity is great, young families, friendly people, and the home prices are still affordable...but not for long. Pricing is steadily increasing.

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 360 reviews
    #4 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Lawrenceville, Georgia is a great place to live. My favorite part of Lawrenceville is the downtown area. There are numerous shops, restaurants, a park and of course, the historic court house. At Christmas, the whole town is lit up with lights and decorations. While these things make Lawrenceville a great place to visit, the best thing about my city is the people! You will be greeted with a smile and a warm hello everywhere you go!

    #5 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I’m a high school student that lives in Chamblee. I love the diversity here The. diversity has widened my perspective through experiences with people who are different from me. If I could improve anything in my city, I would change the districting for public schools. I am currently districted to a school that is farther from me than the high school that it closest to me. The school I am districted to also lacks in resources that would improve its academics.

    #6 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Love the area. Friendly people, great neighborhood communities and a wonderful place to raise kids. We moved into our neighborhood a year ago and immediately found a group of young families new to the area to link up with. Being close to so much is a major plus also!

  9. Morrow

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 51 reviews
    #7 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I like that the community is small. Its location is almost perfect for commuting depending on what part of Morrow you're living in. The city is 25 minutes from Atlanta, 15 minutes from the airport, and it's close to other popular metro Atlanta cities(i.e. Mcdonough, Stockbridge, Fayetteville, Decatur, Ellenwood, College Park and etc.). The city recently started public transit again and I would like to an improvement in the routes. It currently takes me over 2 hours to get to the rail station by bus and if I would drive or took lyft it would take less than 20 minutes.

  10. Mableton

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 102 reviews
    #8 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Construction everywhere! Mableton is going through a phase of change with lots more construction of subdivisions. I wish for Mableton that it gets "cool" one day like Woodstock, they should have a brewery here. Maybe even become an Incorporated city. Shopping is fabulous, everything is very close. The silver comet trail is great for biking and walking. It's 30 minutes to downtown in the morning and around 45 minutes to North Druid Hills. There are mostly retired people and young families here who will probably move away once their kids need to get into better schools. Very diverse area! My neighbors come from all places. I feel safe in Mableton most of the time but will avoid walking around after dark, it's the Atlanta area after all.

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 114 reviews
    #10 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I have been living in Norcross for over nine years. I plan to live here for nine more years! This is the best region in the entire state of Georgia. Majority of the public schools here are IB league schools, which is perfect for furthering the education of our children. Although Norcross is extremely diverse we all look at each other as family! I would not want to live in any other place in Georgia, but right here in Norcross!

  13. Smyrna

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 151 reviews
    #11 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: What I enjoy about living in Smyrna is the diversity and openness of the city. Whenever you have a request, question or concern, someone is always willing to learn and solve the problem. In all honestly, I would say that it would not be an issue of timeliness because the situations at hand maybe not be handled quickly. They may take some time. However, the situation won't be left hanging in the dust, it will get solved. Smyrna, GA is a suburb in the surrounding Metropolitan area of Atlanta, GA. Very diverse, very optimistic, very compassionate, resourceful and SAFE!

  14. Marietta

    • Town in Georgia
    • 395 reviews
    #12 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Honestly, Marietta is a bustling and busy city in Georgia. With several places to visit and multiple shopping centers, you won't ever find yourself bored! I personally enjoy the various parks and recreational activities available here. The community is also very welcoming and loving to anyone! Since I came here from a different state, I was concerned about how I would be able to fit back into the community and find people I trust. But, Marietta changed that. I found myself doing more stuff for the community and meeting more new people every day. Attending the various festivals that are held at Marietta Square also helps with being more involved in the community. Overall, Marietta is one of the best cities in Georgia to live in.

  15. Gainesville

    • Town in Georgia
    • 129 reviews
    #13 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I love Gainesville! Now I didn't grow up here so I can't speak as a native but I can speak from a perspective of a new resident. The great thing about Gainesville is that the city surrounds a lake! The people are kind and there is a lot of parks to walk. Another awesome thing about Gainesville is that it is less than an hour away from the Mountains, an hour away from Atlanta, and about four hours away from the beach! two things I would like to see in Gainesville is a better night life and better shopping areas.

    #14 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I've grown up in Forest Park, so it's home to me. The people are generally friendly, and there isn't a shortage of southern hospitality. It's not always the most updated, but there are certainly lots of renovations and projects that have taken place to give the entire neighborhood a face lift! There are many hidden gems and locally owned businesses with quality products. Quite honestly, I love living here!

    • 24 reviews
    #15 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I've lived in Garden City for 15 years. Everything around it is equal distance from home, for example the outlets and mall. The port is also near but the town has a bad smell in some parts when you enter. There are a lot of people and there is diversity so that's nice. It's a chill town.

  18. Tucker

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 137 reviews
    #16 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: All in all Tucker is a nice community with people taking active role to be involved. There are very nice establishments in good standing. I love the sense of community the people make you feel from the start. However, sometimes you still have unpleasant experiences. The school is good, but there are many things that should be improved starting with the staff itself. I like how the community is very supportive of the school. Always sponsoring school sanctioned activities and the sport clubs.

  19. Fayetteville

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 91 reviews
    #17 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Fayetteville is a great city if your into a calm vibe kind of town. Fayetteville has no nightlife but it does have many good events for the community to participate in. The houses here are gorgeous and very beautiful and intricate. I could stare all day at the houses and how well they were made. I love it here! I would recommend this city fore newly weds and first born children. I think the schools are okay but still very nice. I think the best school would have to be River Edge Elementary. It is such a lovely school. Great city!

  22. Kennesaw

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 253 reviews
    #18 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Works Here: I have grown up in Kennesaw, went to school in Kennesaw, and now work in Kennesaw. Overall, I think it is a great city with some hustle and bustle, but far enough away from downtown to feel very congested. With the addition of the Nooday trail (a walking and bike path), you can sense that the city is becoming more aware of the health and welfare of it's constituents. Additionally, having Kennesaw Mountain right in town gives a perfect opportunity to convene with nature. I would say the city has a little something for everyone, so I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking to move here!

  23. Snellville

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 173 reviews
    #19 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I have lived in the Snellville area for the last 16 years of my life. I have found it to be both friendly and rewarding. It is small town living with the lights and glamour of "Big City Life". Snellville provides small communities that offer personalize feeling within the various school clusters. Some of the top athletics in basketball, baseball and football are currently or have played on the Professional level, have come from this area. Snellville, particularly Gwinnett County has a very competitive little league program which helps development kids in those sports arenas. The school system is need of some much needed personalized attention. The county school board is beginning to make some much needed changes, for instance voting in some members who are younger and have new fresh ideas concerning the current needs of the schools and its students. We are a very diverse community and our leadership should mirror that diversity.

  24. Buford

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 132 reviews
    #20 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I love Buford. Everything you need is right in this little city. The choice of restaurants is insane. You can find anything you want in this city. I love that this is the most diverse county in Georgia. That's not hyperbole, that's actually a fact. Of course if you're into malls, the biggest mall in Georgia is right here in Buford. You have access to all the interstates right from Buford. The people are nice. I moved here 6 years ago. I've lived many places, including overseas, due to being in the military. Buford is where I retired to. I'm so happy I chose this place. My daughter graduated from a great high school in the area & is currently going to college for free, due to the HOPE scholarship for GA graduates. Don't miss out on Buford! Excellent place to buy a home!

  25. Newnan

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 158 reviews
    #21 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Newnan is a great place to raise a family. Only 25 minutes from the airport makes a great place to live if you are in the airline industry or travel for work. Newnan has shopping, two hospitals (Piedmont Newnan and Cancer Treatment Centers of America’s). Access to healthcare is great, the downtown Newnan area is actively growing and has small specialty shops, farmers markets on Saturday’s and a dozen or so restaurants. Very good schools, plenty of family entertainment and the cost of living makes Newnan one of the better options around Atlanta.

  26. Lithia Springs

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 50 reviews
    #22 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Lithia Springs is a small town right outside of the larger Douglasville community. The train goes right through town, right past the school and First Baptist church. It's not the kind of town you'd think much about as you drive through it. It’s not income rich – the Dollar General, Food Depot, and Little Caesars all attest to that. But off the main highway is a nice collection of neighborhoods where several communities of down-to-earth people live our everyday lives. There’s the new mom down the street who volunteers at a clinic and a retired neighbor who spent a career at the AJC printing press. Of course there are things we'd like to change. Let’s bring some nightlife to our town, add a good burger joint, and fill up the empty office buildings on the highway.

    #23 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I've been living in Sandy Springs for ten years now and I absolutely love it! Everywhere I need to go is highly accessible and not far away at all. I go walking to the Riverside Park all the time and having the Sandy Springs library near is so convenient. You will never get bored here, as there is always something fun to do around the corner. If you've never visited this city, I highly recommend you do, and bring your family while you're at it!

    While Lake City is a very comfortable place to live, I hope that more establishments will be open.

  29. Warner Robins

    • Town in Georgia
    • 254 reviews
    #25 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: After spending 50 plus years in the north, we were transferred down here. Our first thought was Warner Robins is a small town with really nothing to do. We were going to do our 3 years and move but after 1 year we realized how nice and comfortable this town is. We recently bought our retirement home here and we are 2 years away from military retirement. So many beautiful places to visit within a 4-hour drive of here! The only thing we don't like is a major airport being an hour and a half away. Other than that you can't ask for a better situation!
