It may be further south than you would want to go but I would recommend Valdosta. It is a large enough town to support any business and it is growing quickly so being in RE and Ins you can build your business up quick here because the town is still small enough that you will not have to struggle to get your name known. Every race and finanical status work hand and hand so even though there are affluent subdivisions and areas of town you will not have the segreation seen amongst the neighbors of ATL. Even other affluent blacks will tear you apart for your success if you don't choose correctly there. Others out side of metro ATL would be Macon/Warner Robins and Columbus. If you wish to stay in the ATL area I would highly recommend somewhere in the Fayette County area on the southside and Alpharetta on the northside. I would recomend avoiding Savannah and Albany unless you have very strong will and are willing to put effort into improving the community. Best of wishes and good luck.

My first reaction to your post was "anywhere you darn well please" However if you wish to live in an area exclusive for affluent African Americans you should take that up with a high end realtor. If you are not from the south I would suggest you read a book called "Our Kind Of People" It will tell you quite a bit about wealthy southern black society.

Try Gwinnett County, just outside of the DeKalb County line. I graduated from Parkview in 1987 and had never gone to school with a black person. Now the concentration is about 50/50 and there are wonderful upper, middleclass families that have moved in due to the wonderful schools. Just go check it out! I think you'll like it!
