Hi everyone!

I am an elementary school teacher for six years, and my husband and I are contemplating moving to GA. We have one child, a 12 year old son.



We are considering moving to Smyrna, Marietta, or Roswell. We need the following things in order to be happy:

#1 - A SAFE diverse place to live
#2 - A SAFE diverse school to WORK in

*Easy accesss to a full service library where computers are plentiful (because I tutor kids at the library, and I assign them educational websites to work on)

*A park with an indoor pool (because my husband and son are avid swimmers), a park that offers football, baseball, and soccer for my son, and a park that has a SAFE walking path for me

*Barnes and Noble nearby

*Best Buy nearby

*A Safe major mall that would have a Sears, JC Penny, Macys etc nearby

Which of these cities Smyrna, Marietta, or Roswell would have all of this nearby and is safe?

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Default always learning to move to Atlanta

Peachtree City (30 minute drive to ATL airport) fits all of your requirements! Northern arc of city is too crowded. Check out comparative home values PTC 30269 zip vs other suburban areas on Zillow.com

We live in East Cobb (Marietta address) and have all the above mentioned. Very happy with this area, definitly worth checking out. There is an aquatics center right by our neighborhood on Sandy Plains Rd and Mountain View Library is right across the road.

Moved from Sunrise, Fl a year ago to Athens,Ga because I did not want to be near anything as big as Atlanta. You should look into the Athens area, It has a young crowd, "University of Georgia" and very little crime compared to Atlanta or Ft,Lauderdale.
Just wish I moved years ago. It is beautiful here, everyone waves and says hi
