I'm a millennial with two children newly adopted from foster care and a very active dog. We very much want our own home with a nice yard where we can stretch and grow and attach as a family. I have to buy where we can afford, which means I'm not going to be living in North Fulton or Forsyth counties where some of the better schools are located. Threads like this one are so helpful in helping me figure out where my family will set down roots. Most of my research typically comes up with a long list of reasons why I shouldn't live in X city or Y county or Z neighborhood. It's a breath of fresh air to have someone come in and work to really sell a city that I can actually afford to live in.

If you find that your own county or city or neighborhood is great, I'd love to hear about it. Start a thread! Sell it! Thanks actually useful for people, not this us vs them nonsense.

I agree.You go against the norm and people will do everything in their power to disuade you beyond just facts.
Clayton County has seen better days this is ttrue but it still has good parts and its definately now on the rebound.
I thought I would hate it when I first moved back because I did not realize how much more diverse it is than it was when I was a teenager
Clayton was right up there with Cobb as being one of the most racist countoes in the metro back then in the late 80's and 90's.
Property values have and are continuing to rise as my home is doing and the value I have in a very safe neighborhood is beyond anything you can find in the metro so close to the city.Especially with MARTA access.
