Interracial Family (Atlanta, Marietta, Lawrenceville: apartments, condos, low crime)

[Mamaschweetz]

Where would be a safe low crime area, that is very diverse (pretty much no one caring about a black/spanish girl with a white guy). I've been looking through the forums and I haven't found any place yet. I've been looking at homes as well, and I like the places I've seen in Marietta and in Lawrenceville (but from the forums I hear Lawrenceville is bad). I would like to live near Atlanta but not in Atlanta, I have looked at Powder Springs and it seems like a nice place but lacking in the shopping area, can someone tell me what grocery stores, malls, stores in general are in that area?

k.

thanks for your help.

You didn't say where you worked, and to be honest, that is the #1 issue. No one wants to suggest a great place, and then have you spending most of your life sitting on a freeway instead of enjoying life at home.

IF it is convenient to your work, then I would take a look at the area up I-575 from Marietta to Canton. I live in a small town just north of there, and it's not unusual to see couples of pretty much any combination you can name. I wouldn't expect any hassles. There's a good mall (Town Center) and apartments/condos/homes to choose from.
