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

    Current Resident: Lilburn is a great suburban city that is always growing and booming with business and industry. Lilburn is home to one of the best public schools in Gwinnett County, Parkview High School, which is where I personally attended high school for four years. It is a very diverse city where there are many fun activities to experience with friends and family! I have lived around Lilburn for almost ten years. Living in this city, I have been able to experience so many fulfilling moments in life with my closest friends...Read 143 Reviews

  2. Duluth

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 201 reviews
    #2 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I've been living here since 2009, and I will say that Duluth is very enjoyable. It has a very decent public education system, with the schools doing a god job at teaching the kids. Additionally, there are a lot of stores such as Walmart, Target, Home Depot, etc. So as long as you have a car, shopping for necessities will not be an issue. Additionally, there are even places where you can go to have fun! Sugarloaf hills isn't too far away, and theres also Regal Cinema and Dave and Busters within a 10-20 minute drive. The community there is also very diverse! There is just so much to experience in a suburb, it is actually kind of crazy. Moreover, the living costs here are not too bad as long as you just find the right place for the right price. Don't worry, there are many places for you to settle down. The only downsides are that You just can't go anywhere without car, and that the minimum wage is like $8 an hour. Other than that, Duluth is a very suitable place for people to live...Read 201 Reviews

  3. Lawrenceville

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA

    #3 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I really enjoy living in the city of Lawrenceville because the community is very kind. Throughout the year there are many opportunities for the community to get together and commune as one big city. One of my favorite activities that my family participates in is the firework shows on the Fourth of July in Lawrenceville because the show never disappoints and competes with the others in the area. Due to Lawrenceville being a suburban area, we have everything we need within close proximity to us, which I really love. I really enjoy being a part of this city also because I seriously feel safe going anywhere and being anywhere in the Lawrenceville area. Some of my favorite places to visit and hang out at are the Downtown Lawrenceville plaza because the shops, restaurants, and sites are truly beautiful to be a part of. I would totally recommend living here!...-Current ResidentRead 460 Reviews

  6. Chamblee

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 45 reviews
    #6 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Chamblee is by Buford Highway and about 20 minutes with traffic to Buckhead, it is a great area to eat diverse food and spend quality time with friends. One of my favorite secret activities in Chamblee is visiting PDK airport to watch the planes and grab a bite from Downwind Restaurant. You could very well "travel the world" by going around and trying food at Plaza Fiesta, Chinatown Food Court, Taco Veloz, Bismillah Cafe, and Pho Bac. One thing that I think could be improved on is making facilities like parks, community centers, and libraries more appealing to all the different people of Chamblee. There should be crosswalks on Chamblee Dunwoody Rd. where it meets Buford Highway, as there are many apartments there so people constantly have to run across the street. Overall Chamblee is a crossroads of many different cultures sharing where they came from and what they love, resulting in an extremely unique environment from other neighborhoods in The Perimeter area of Atlanta...Read 45 Reviews

  9. Mableton

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 111 reviews
    #7 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...Read 111 Reviews

    #8 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: CHARM GALORE! Hapeville is a small town that benefits from being less that 10 mins from Downtown Atlanta, from being the home of the world's busiest airport and from all of the professionals who work in the city daily. If you want the walkable, friendly downtown vibe with a Mayberry feel, this is the spot. Crime is SO low. Best of all, Hapeville is a true, liberal Arts District with a lively scene that is constantly expanding. We also have award winning Arches Brewing and 2000AD is the best gift and floral shop you'll see anywhere...Read 28 Reviews

    #9 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Growing up in Tucker has been amazing! It is a wonderful city that is very close-knit. It has multiple elementary schools, 1-2 middle schools, and 1 main high school. I had the opportunity to go to school in the city. The amount of diversity I grew up in my wondrous! I love having friends from all cultures. It's a 15-35 minute commute to downtown Atlanta, but only a 10-15 commute to the nearest MARTA station (Atlanta's public transportation). Overall, if you are looking for a quaint, yet bustling town to start your family in, Tucker is a wonderful option!...Read 151 Reviews

  12. Norcross

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

    Current Resident: This is a small town with the energy of a large town. There is shopping, parks, restaurants, fast food, the Chattahoochee River, and so much more. A lot of these things are all within walking distance of each other! I personally love Simpsonwood Park, but there is so much more to do and enjoy. Another great place is Downtown Norcross- a very quaint part of the town with so much to do. The one drawback that I could give is that there is a somewhat large conservative population, but if you are conservative that should be fine. Overall, I think that if I moved to Norcross from somewhere else, I would be very happy here...Read 135 Reviews

    • Town in Georgia
    • 499 reviews
    #11 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Born in raised in Marietta I have spent the past twenty-four years exploring, absorbing, and enjoying all that the entirety of Marietta has to offer. Most people will associate the more prominent East Cobb with Marietta but the city has more to offer. From all of Cobb County encompassing the areas prominent schools to the industrial side of Cobb Parkway flourishing with small businesses you can find just about anything anywhere you go. Littered with culture, diversity, and hospitality I have been blessed to experience amazing food, great entertainment (movie theaters, recreation centers, nightlife, and more), and an overall abundance of people to meet and connect with. Whether you are looking to settle down, find a new job, or explore something new Marietta has it all. This city provides great access to other prominent areas in the state including Roswell, Alpharetta, Kennesaw, and even downtown Atlanta!...Read 499 Reviews

    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!...Read 160 Reviews

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 116 reviews
    #14 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I have lived near Fayetteville for about three years now and my favorite thing about it is it’s connivence. There’s a plethora of grocery stores, shopping plazas, restaurants, and activities for kids, teens, adults, and families. In addition to this, it’s a great and upcoming area for new families to move to. New houses and apartments are being built everyday, there’s an ample amount of job opportunities, the schools are rated as the best in the county and the nearby area, and Fayetteville is one of the most diverse towns in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Fayetteville also provides residents a healthier way of living with 3 workout gyms, and multiple healthy restaurants. Lastly, Fayetteville is a safe environment. It has the lowest crime rate throughout all of the metropolitan area. My least favorite thing about Fayetteville is the traffic. Because it’t apart of the metropolitan Atlanta area, the traffic can be congested sometimes; especially during rush hours...Read 116 Reviews

I have gain so much since I moved to Warner Robins. Jobs, education, and I have also met some awesome people. Moving was a good move for my parents and I because it’s safer and more convenient. The city of Warner Robins is big! They have a lot of stores and a lot of different varieties of restaurant to choose from. I have siblings that attend their school. My brother and sister school work are improving. Houston county school system are very good. I like how they take time with the kids to show them the right way...Read 294 Reviews

    Nearby Resident: Villa Rica is a vibrant and tranquil small town with a treasured history to tell. The people who call this community home are among the most cordial and considerate people you will ever have the honor of knowing or greeting. Unbeknownst to most people, the city was one of the first Gold Rush sites in the country. A museum located just outside the city limits pays homage to that eventful era. With big box retail chains and corporations choosing to establish their factories and stores here, Villa Rica is becoming an influential player in the economic vitality of the Metro Atlanta region. The city is also known for being the birthplace of legendary Gospel singer and songwriter Thomas Dorsey, the Father of Black Gospel music...Read 72 Reviews

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA

    #17 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: The city of Buford is located about 25 miles outside the perimeter of Atlanta, Georgia. Great school system, affordable housing and home to one of the largest shopping malls in the country, The Mall of Georgia coming in a close second to the Mall of America located right outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Although strides have been made in the area of public transit, this plan has a long way to go. An expansion from Atlanta’s Marta Train would open up opportunities for more disadvantaged individuals to purchase affordable housing. There’s a shuttle system currently in place - with a round trip shuttle opportunity available Atlanta to Buford 6-8 times daily with departures and arrivals available from many locations. An actual train system could actually free Atlanta’s obvious traffic woes. The expansion of a train system could save individual commuters valuable family time, and promote healthy stress-free living...Read 162 Reviews

I met my first best friend in this city, was introduced to my first job in this area, and met so many amazing people here. My neighbors and I are like family because we always help each other when we are in need. I have also been blessed to meet such caring instructors from my school who have provided me with endless opportunities. It may not be the ideal neighborhood that you see in the movies, but the external appearance doesn't matter when the love is there...Read 57 Reviews

    Current Resident: I have been living in Loganville for about 8 years and I would definitely say I like it! There has been a lot of construction over the years and the majority of the buildings here in Loganville are fairly new. There are still a lot of upcoming developments, residential and commercial! The school ratings in the Loganville area are pretty good especially since Loganville is in Gwinnett. I like how it is not too close to Atlanta but not too far away. It is not an extremely loud area yet it is not silent like the country. Some things I would possibly change about Loganville is that there could be more things to do for kids and teenagers in the town rather than having to travel to another one to do things! I also would like to see more diversity especially in the grocery stores because everyone should feel welcomed. Overall Loganville is very nice, there are lots of nice people around and I would recommend it to anyone looking for places to live in Georgia...Read 122 Reviews

    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...Read 59 Reviews

    Current Resident: I live in a quaint community and have lived here my entire life. What I like most about Garden City, Georgia is that it is close to everything like Pooler and Savannah. Our neighborhood is established and you do not see a lot of neighbors moving in/out and rarely see houses for sale. We live very close to the private school I have attended since the age of 3 and that has been extremely helpful. Another important factor in staying in Garden City is that my Dad is literally across the street from his job, he works at the Georgia Ports Authority, which is very convenient. Even though my community is not the fanciest around we have always felt safe here and that is very important. We love our neighbors and my parents will probably never move...Read 25 Reviews

    Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student...Read 12 Reviews
