Suwanee or Duluth? (Doraville: house, schools, to live in)

[maroule]

Which one of these two cities is better to live in considering schools and things to do?

There is very little difference between the two since the cities are so close (less than 5 minutes apart). Both are served by Gwinnett schools, not city schools. North Gwinnett, Peachtree Ridge (serve both Duluth and Suwanee) and Duluth are in pretty much on the same level. Gwinnett arena is on the border Duluth/Suwanee. Demographic is similar mixed.
Duluth has population of 24,000. Suwanee has population of 12,000. In comparsion, Johns Creeks has population of 62,000. So Duluth/Suwanee has a little more than half of Johns Creek population. Sometimes, I wonder why Duluth and Suwanee didn't join force and become one bigger city instead of two very small cities.

The only difference I can think of is 1) Duluth house is a little older than Suwanee, 2) Duluth is closer to Doraville MARTA train, 3) Duluth east border Gwinnett place mall (unincorporated Duluth zipcode) is not as nearly as nice as Suwanee.

I agree that both cities are very similar and very nice. My favorite would be Suwanee only because of the small town feel. Welcome to Georgia and I hope your experience is as great as ours has been.
