Buford is not bad, it get's a slight rap for those who feel Buford is only on
Rt 20.
Personally, NE Buford is not bad and they will begin working soon on downtown re-development.

[we love buford]

we just moved to Atlanta and choose Buford as our home....we love it! Its 40 minutes to downtown, and it lacks all the stuff most don't like about Atlanta - traffic in particular...in addition, Buford is one of the up and coming areas, so it's a guarenteed investment....we live about a mile from Lake Lanier, 2 miles from Buford Dam, and 20 minutes from the Georgia mountains! Downtown Buford is great, don't let some people scare you about the poverty....that has well since been on its way out, and the town itself has million dollar + houses lining the main drive that are nearly 100 years old. A lot of history here. For my money, it doesn't get any better, good luck!

Hi there,
I am looking into moving from SWFL(transplant from Boston origionally) and Buford is the top of my list. I have searched all kinds of forums, blogs and print and love what I see..Would you care to give me any suggestions/feedback/opinions on Buford. My family consists on myself, my husband and my daughter 11. Schools and quality of lifestyle and community are very important to us. We want our daughter to get a good education both in school in our home and town...Thanks so much..Loved your post...Lisa
