  1. Lilburn

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 106
    #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.

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA

    #3 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: It is affordable and close to Emory university. The commute time varies on the time of day. The neighborhood I live in is clean, secluded and the people are very friendly. The prices are extremely affordable in comparison to the surrounding areas. The city itself is very diverse as is most of Atlanta, by this I mean there are very nice areas, but there are also very "not nice" areas.

  4. Lawrenceville

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 316
    #4 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I have been living in Lawrenceville since I was 5 years old. I went through all 12 years of primary school in this area, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I have met so many different types of people and a few I would call my lifelong friends! Everyone is very friendly and communal. Seeing Lawrenceville grow bigger and bigger every year makes me a little sad that it is no longer a small town, but I am happy to see new people calling this place their new home.

    #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
    • 48
    #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
    • 95
    #8 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: My experience in Mableton, Georgia has been amazing. For the most part, the citizens in this small town have been very helpful to my family and I. Everyone in the town is so helpful to one another and we see everyone as family despite the color of our skin. There are a lot of job opportunities so looking for a job is no problems. The crime rating is very low and it is very safe for small children to play outside. Really the only thing that Mableton needs to improve is the public school system. Overall it's a great town to raise a family and enjoy life to the fullest!

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 103
    #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
    • 137
    #11 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Excellent area! Smyrna offers all the benefits of living in a suburb without the stuck-in-a-suburban-neighborhood feel. With fast access to two major highways, multiple nightlife options (Smyrna downtown areas and the Battery) and neighborhoods with diverse homes, Smyrna can seem like you're living in the city. However, Smyrna's community gives it more of a small town vibe.
    Smyrna celebrates almost any and every holiday with a downtown festival and hosts Food Truck Tuesdays during the summer. For all of these events you can see hundreds of families and singles alike walking up down Atlanta and Spring Rd to join in on the festivities. (Bonus points for Smyrna's birthday firework show :) )
    Finally, homes are unique, affordable, and have large lots. There are more parks than i can count and instead of tiny bushes planted as a barrier from your too-close-neighbor, there are plenty of beautiful grown trees that offer privacy!

    • Town in Georgia
    • 340
    #12 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: There's so much to do here, no matter how old you are. The food is great, the nightlife is cool. The parks are amazing! They just built a stadium so the traffic has increased but there are plenty of back roads and side streets to take. There are plenty of schools around - most having average or higher ratings. This town is very diverse and most places are super safe.

  17. Gainesville

    • Town in Georgia
    • 119
    #13 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Works Here: I like that there are plenty of options for food and the local shopping is convenient. However, traffic is a bit of a doozy going down Jessie Jewell. I wish the back roads weren't so rough. But overall a great town. There is so much happening in Gainesville all the time that often you forget how much is out there. You have the lake which is popular all year round, but downtown also hosts many events especially on the weekends! They have several family owned restaurants and shop which are a hit with my family.

    #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!

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 133
    #16 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: I been living in Tucker GA for two years. For the most part the neighborhood is safe. Lot of movement on the weekends since Porple like to go out. They are major intersection to get on the highway including jimmy Carter boulevard. Everything is fairly closed to each other, grocery stores, public library, post office, gym, gas stations, lots of parks, gold course. It’s very close to Stone Mountain.

  21. Fayetteville

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 79
    #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!

  24. Kennesaw

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 235
    #18 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: As a student that attends Kennesaw State University, I can say that the area of Kennesaw is a perfect fit for just about anybody. The community has a substantial amount of trees and nature on every turn, making the air itself feel ever so refreshing. There is a variety of historical parks and hiking grounds fit for family activities. If you're more of in indoors person there is an amazing mall, a fun arcade, and even an indoor trampoline house where you can get some exercise going! The citizens in the area are very friendly, so there will always be one more person you can consider family. If you'd like to see a melting pot of diversity in the Kennesaw community, I definitely recommend visiting the Kennesaw State campus. There is a large variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds at KSU, the school has even been nationally recognized for such.

  25. Snellville

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 148
    #19 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Snellville has a variety of just about everything you could ask for in a suburb city. There's lots of shopping outlets, retail stores, restaurants, bars/nightlife, and outdoor attractions. Stone Mountain Park is just a few miles from Snellville, which is a great place to visit whether it be to hike or have a picnic. For the most part, Snellville is a safe, family-friendly area with excellent pubic schools, parks and churches. This is defiantly a great area for employment since they have lots of restaurants, clothing stores, department stores, parks, schools and homes. This city also has some very nice neighborhoods and homes. Snellville should consider putting more apartment complexes in the city, as there's very few. Snellville is a nice city to live in and everything is so convenient to get to!

    #20 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Current Resident: Buford, Georgia is an excellent place to live. It contains the Mall of Georgia, which is one of the best malls in the state since it maintains a high level of activity while constantly providing people access to a plethora of stores. It also has close proximity to some amazing schools that provide students with a high level of education to prepare them for their future. Alongside this, there are parks in and around the city that make access to nature simple!

    Current Resident: I absolutely love Newnan! I am from Miami, Fl, and I moved here with my parents a few years ago. As a city girl, I wasn't quite what to expect at first, but soon after moving here, I quickly fell in love with this quiet little suburb. The homes are beautiful, the grounds are clean and well kept, and you really have everything need, as far as shopping and activities go.

  28. Lithia Springs

    • Suburb of Atlanta, GA
    • 44
    #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.

    Current Resident: Sandy Springs is definitely up and coming. Lots of new development, new parks, new infrastructure. Great selection of retail and restaurants. Only negative comment is the lack of sidewalks and connected public transit, but I know this is at least being progressed!

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

  31. Warner Robins

    • Town in Georgia
    • 237
    #25 Most Diverse Suburbs in Georgia

    Nearby Resident: There are nice neighborhoods, schools, and an expanding market. There are most of the big chain stores and restaurants, but there are smaller mom and pop establishments too. The Air Force base supplies many jobs and assists economically as well. Each year the city expands. In addition to the new expansion there needs to be improvement to the older and more worn down buildings and parts of town as well. I do wish there was more of an effort to improve out mall as well. Overall, I love my sons school, Perdue Primary. I am also IN LOVE with my grocery store, Kroger on Hwy 96. Although,I live in a small apartment, there is a pretty decent housing market, with new ones being built.
