NW Albany is supposedly the "better" area of town. Look for zip codes 31707 and 31721. Bear in mind, however, that crime can happen anywhere, and that while your risk of being robbed at gunpoint in your own driveway may be LOWER in these areas, the risk is still there. And just be prepared for rude, unprofessional, crappy treatment at a LOT of businesses here. If you're white, that is. If not, you're fine.

I will admit that Macon is not the safest city in the world. You should think before you speak and do a little research while you at it. Macon is one of the greatest cities in the south, no the world, and I know there will be people who object to this but thats a matter of there opinion. Fact is that Macon is the Cherry Blossom Capital, has some of the largest ammenties in the U.S. such as the Sports Hall of Fame, largest copper roof, home to the second largest commercial mall in GA, is the heart of Central Georgia, not dogging other up and coming cities and counties such as Warner Robins, Twiggs County, Bonaire, Fort Valley, and Monroe County. I will happily answer any of your questions or anything you throw out pickleswanson.

Mayor of Macon,

I'm consdiering a relocation to your area (Monroe Co. /Forsyth) While I will either work in Griffin or perhaps within Monroe CO. I'm excited about the possibllities. I look forward to learning more about the city via this forum.

Ok, here is my advice..If you like to live in fear then move to Atlanta, or any where near Atl...If you like rednecks then move to the North Ga Mountain area or Northwest Ga...Actually any rural area in Ga...You will not be accepte by these people unless you have had generations of relatives in these areas...Seriously, Atlanta is unsafe, for all living things...I suggest living in the outskirts Decatur, Virginia Highlands or even further away from Atl like Alpharetta or Roswell...The aforementioned areas are decent and you will not hear hip hop music 24/7

We moved to Albany in 1994 when I graduated from college and took the first banking job that I could find. I am not from there and the wife and I were just getting started. It was not that bad, cheap housing, friendly people and good small town living with decent amenities. It is very isolated and a good 30-45 minutes drive off the main interstate I-75. The company transferred me to Valdosta in 1996 and I would definitely recommend moving there over Albany. Though Albany is bigger, I found Valdosta to be more accessible (right off I-75) which tended to make it more "hip."

As always, I'm glad to hear of anyone who has had a positive experience with Albany. It makes it easier to bear the thought that we might not be able to scrape this steaming pile of a town off our shoes as fast as we'd like.

I am not sure what you are looking for but I live in Ware County. The city is Waycross. I do not live in the city I live in the country. Ware county is a peacefyl place and though it has an Industrial Park and several companies including the railroad for jobs, it is safe and the people are friendly. If you have kids, we havw a YMCA and a Rec. Department that can keep the kids busy all thru the year if you like. I have two teenage boys that are heavy into sports at the Ware County High School. We are under new administration and change can cause stress for some. But I love the schools I am not able to work full time as a teacher due to health problems, but I substitute alot. I love it. Our crime rate, thank God is almost nonexistant. I believe it is because a huge industry has not moved in. We have a good Mall and a Big 24/7 WalMart. Anyway, maybe this will help. Right now Millwood Plantations are selling lots out here where we live. It would be worth your while to check into it!! Have a wonderful summer, kandy
