Hi,

So we are relocating to the area on next month some time or at the VERY beginning of September. I have 2 children that are in elementary school and I REALLY NEED some advice on if we should move to 1)Johns Creek 2)Sugar Hill 3)Peachtree Corners 4)Berkeley Lake

I want a quiet subdivision with possibly a playground and pool area , diverse area, family oriented fun things to do and great school. If there are a couple of great schools to choose from, I'd like to know the best one out of the 2

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the forum and to the area!

Not sure I have ever seen anyone not get an immediate to almost immediate response but kudos to you for being clear on your expectations.

Where is your husband's job located (that info will hold others back from wanting to provide advice). In fact, can you answer the following so we can better help:

1) Husband's job location
2) are you working outside of the home and if so where
3) what's your home budget
4) what ages are your children
5) how important is it to you to have somewhat regular access to the city of Atlanta (vs. the suburbs) amenities?

Johns Creek has the best schools.

If you can afford to live on actual Berkeley Lake, that's great living... But if you can't, I'd forget about it. Sugar Hill is in the boonies and the schools in Peachtree Corners aren't quite there yet.

Just for schools, my guess would be Johns Creek and Sugar Hill. But, in Atlanta you really need to consider your commute, too.

Oh, okay. Great!

His job is in John's Creek/Suwanne because he will be between the two cities some days.

My children are 9 1/2 and 6 years of age.

I am a S.A.H.M. (Stay At Home Mom)

And I don't EVER have to go to Atlanta, as I prefer to do festivities in the area that I will reside in.

Thank you

You can go to greatschools.com to look at the diversity and test scores of potential schools. My exposure to the areas are through friends and acquaintances. I have friends that have had a great experience with sugar hill, both schools and activities. While the reputation of Johns Creek schools is so good, many folks will overlook terrible commutes to live there. So, if you are already working in the area, seems like you are set!
