5 best and 5 worst places to live in GA? (Atlanta, Columbus: renters, lofts)

[atlanta]

Small areas in Atlanta are great (i.e. Druid Hills, Emory area, parts of Decatur). Monroe is a great little town, as is Watkinsville. Oconee Co. has great schools. Harris Co. is a good place to raise children.

This is in response to Hyun Soo's worst & best, EXCUSE ME, #2 Norcross as being best to live, are you nuts, Norcross is full of gangs, and has been on the news this evening, I lived there, Athens as worst because of it being a college town, come on now, College towns always have a good economy and Athens is on its way up, when is the last time you been there? Just my 2 cents worth.

I have one thing to say about this post, and that is that there is no worst place to live in Georgia. It doesnt get any better than Georgia, wheter you in the Major cities of Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Columbus, Macon, and Albany, or the country small towns like, Plains, Tifton, Dublin, Roberta, Vidiala, Reynolds, Marshallville, Americus, Warm Springs. There are no best or worst places, pick anyplace in Georgia, and I assure you, that you will find some good out of it. So when you all say worst or best, think outside of Georgia.

An eternal optimist, chamber of commerce booster, or wearer of rose-colored glasses (or all three) - it's hard to know from your posts? Kudos to you though if you roll through most of life so positive.

Thank You Very Much

Hey everyone. Where you decide to live is up to you. All cities have crime nowadays. Just some worse than others. All depends on what your accustomed to. I like little towns myself. I lived in Fitzgerald, Ga for 25 years. And I am now living in Eastern Pennsylvania. And I miss Fitzgerald and the sunshine. If you have the time to take your time in deciding where to live, that would be the best. Also, decide what your looking for in a town you want to call home.

You put that very well. I lived in Fitzgerald. Now living in Pennsylvania. And I really miss Georgia and the sun. I miss how the people in the south are much nicer and more polite. Just wanted to let you know that you said that quite well.

Can anyone expand on why Newton County is so terrible? My husband and I are thinking of moving to Covington for teaching jobs. We want a rural/suburban atmosphere where we can quickly reach a town but we want a small farm for animals. Any help would be great- THANKS!

Best is Athens, period.
Laid back, walkable downtown.

downside is few good jobs, I had to work in Lawrenceville but I still miss Athens.
