Well, I came to this site almost a year ago looking to leave Jacksonville, decided instead to grow where I have been planted the past four years, but after my family's experience with crime recently (two gun-involved and a couple of hours ago, four guys breaking into cars for the second time in three months in my "good" neighborhood) I'm rethinking my decision to stay.

I am planning a trip to Ga this week and want to check out Decatur. What would you recommend I see while there? I will be renting for the first year and would prefer a home, but a condo or apartment would work, $1500 range if possible. I have a 14 YO, so an area near a YMCA or park would be good. I also have a dog, so an area safe to walk is important.

Decatur sounds like a city that has a mix of the positives of Atlanta and a smaller community, which is what appeals to me.

Also, about schools- feedback. Are private schools (middle & high) recommended?

And how is city / county government?
