From UK to USA (Gainesville, Buford: low crime, house prices, best schools)

Hi All, we are looking to emigrate from England to the USA, myself and children are citizens so just waiting for the papers to go through for my husband. We were over in November and travelled through 15 different beautiful states Georgia being one of them. We are due to come back over within the next two weeks and are hoping to look around the state of Georgia once again as we found the people there so friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the Gainesville area and visited towns around there but would like to look at other areas of the state also. The scenery is just beautiful. Our trip will start in The Woodlands area of Texas, and then flying to Georgia. We are looking for a nice friendly area with good schools, recreation, job opportunites, low crime and reasonable house prices. We have been researching but demographic and city sites can only tell you so much it would be really great if anyone could help and suggest areas that might be just what we are looking for. Thanks very much.

We are moving to Braselton, GA which is not too far from the Great Mall of GA and close to Chateu Elan. My in-laws have been living in GA for 20 years and we have no family here in VA where we've been stationed for the last 13 years so decided to sell this place and move closer to family. Everytime we visited I always wanted to stay longer or move sooner. We will be moving into a new developement and the houses were very affordable. My sister in-law is a teacher at Mill Creek High and says it's a good school.
