I am relocating to work in Conyers. I am looking for the best community to raise my school age children. The quality of schools is important as well as access to parks and recreational sports. I would like the commute to work to be less than 45 minutes if possible. I have a budget to purchase a home of up to $500,000. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

May as well stay in Conyers. Schools here are great. They sorta slipped this year from what I've seen but all schools met AYP in 2009 or 2010.

Rockdale County doesn't have many parks imho. Gwinnett County has alot of parks.

LOL I was going to say the same thing .... why not stay in Conyers. Trust me you would breath a whole not better not having to worry about a long commute and Conyers is very nice I have a friend who lives out there.

I would recommend Conyers as well.

I heard crime slightly rose in Rockdale County, but Conyers is still relatively safe.

You'll get the most value for your $ in Rockdale or Newman County. Newman is adjacent to Rockdale County (Conyers) and also a nice county

It's Newton County with city of Covington or Social Circle.

Yea, crime is sorta on the rise because most of the county is so convenient to the interstate but it mostly bank robbers and burglary. Murders haven't raised. Most of the trouble is from outsiders.

Default Still Looking for Advice...

I am still in the process of relocating and I have narrowed my search to the following areas:

City of Decatur
Dunwoody
Lawrenceville
Lilburn
Norcross
Snellville
Stone Mountain


In your opinion, which of these cities offers the best schools and quality of life? How long is the communte to Conyers from each city?


Thanks again for your input!
