Lawrenceville, GA (Atlanta: crime, homes, job market)

Lawrenceville, GA ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I live in Central Fla, (Orlando) and am wanting to relocate to Ga, preferably Lawrenceville. I have checked the local papaers for homes, jobs, etc, and have even been there once to look @ the town. I grew up in a smaller town of Fla. lived in Fla all my life, and it's time for a change.

What information can anyone give me on Lawrenceville? All the good and bad. i.e. crime, housing, job market, etc. I want to work in Atlanta, so the commute is not a problem. I need a slower paced, comfortable hometown feeling to live in.

Thanks for the help.

Lawrenceville has an old timey town square but the rest is not very slow paced or homey. It's a growing area with growing diversity. The traffic can be bad but that's what Gwinnett is known for. I'm sure the crime is about average, and the job market is definitely above average considering the huge amount of people and jobs moving to the area. There is plenty of housing always going up which is relatively cheap, considering where you're from, and it's good that you don't mind the commute into Atlanta, because it can be bad. Overall, I'd say Lawrenceville is a good choice, but who knows if it'll be the same in the future.

Dear Sir or Madam:

I moved from Lawrenceville in the Spring and I got a job in Atlanta. I have to commute every day 2 to 4 hours total and I am exhausted. Could you tell me if you know who is hiring in Lawrenceville? The problem is that I make more than $50,000 and I do not know if there are companies that are willing to pay at least that. I need the money to pay my bills because I was out of work for 3 months. I do administrative work and I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 10 years and in the clinical trials area for 5. If you know of a company or of anyone that could help please let me know. Thanks

By the way your explanation of Lawrenceville was excellent. I just want to put it out there. I have been here for about 8 months now and I love Lawrenceville, Georgia with the exception of the traffic. If that is the only complaint that I have I guess I am doing okay.

Kind regards,
