Why?

amsterdam like all small towns and cities had they heyday, now lacking in services, good people still live there,and others not so nice too. sad to say that the southern states pay welfare people to come here. I would love to see the old city reborn. time for a change in politics,government aside ,time for people to go to the stores and churches here and support them, help create jobs here. I wish that people would see the glass as half full. there are wonderful people here. Many young families prefer to move to Perth, Nice rural, close to all amenities, great schools, I am sad that Amsterdam has lost so many young folks to other towns out of the area. Sad that the city is not as safe as it could be,sad that the middle income are being forced out. Just sad

I seriously suggest moving across the Perth Town Line to Perth . Fantastic area to raise children, Great schools,churches civic associations and so much more. You get 2x the value for your dollar by moving to Perth. Small Town, with responsible people living there, Fulton County taxes much less, find a good realtor,great sales record. there are many. cherie Sagaitis, Inglenook, check around find out about the area. easy commute very easy, If you want a safe place this is it, I know many who still do not lock their doors. I lock mine.. but others do not. Best wishes for a safe move to a great town...

Amsterdam is okay but very blue collar.
