Indian family Relocating from NJ (Sandy Springs, Alpharetta: renting, homes, new construction)

[blue_line]

Most southasian families flock to suburbs where the schools are highly rated. That's one factor they don't like to compromise on.

That’s an incredibly ignorant observation.

Many of the aforementioned areas that have large concentrations of Asian Indians across metro Atlanta’s greater suburban Northern Crescent also have noticeably sizable Latino and Black populations.

And even in Forsyth County, where there very notably is not a sizable concentration of Black residents, the county’s large and explosively fast growing populations of Asian Indians, Latinos and other Asians are combining together to quickly push Forsyth County’s overall population towards ‘majority-minority’ status where racial and ethnic minorities very likely will make up a majority of Forsyth County’s population within about the next 15 years or so.

Asian Indians seemingly have emerged as linchpins of the continued and accelerating demographic diversification of metro Atlanta’s greater suburban Northern Crescent… So it seems really odd to even remotely imply that Asian Indians don’t and/or wouldn’t like living in diverse areas because Asian Indian newcomers are being directed to diverse areas with large Asian Indian populations.

My daughter attended Wheeler High School for the magnet program. At the time, there was a magazine article written about how it was one of the most diverse high schools in the country. She had a good experience there.

I am an educated, retired white woman whose spiritual practices and cultural interests are more aligned with India so this is useful information for me. I do a lot of Indian cooking so I will have to live near a Patel supermarket!

Now I need to find a '55+ active adult' apartment complex. Suggestions welcome!

I would suggest Alpharetta. It's becoming a pretty nicely diverse area.

It's also expensive.

Yes, but most of metro Atlanta suburbs are expensive/getting expensive for some reason. It gets cheaper south of I20, but everyone is seemingly scared of going down that way.

It depends on what you mean by a "good house". What is your price point and what are you looking for in a house and in a location? Do you have commute time or school concerns?

Good fact to know. I'll add it to my moving research document.
