I am sorry you are having to sell your home, it sound like a wonderful house to live in. There are very few areas in our state where you can build what I would say is a good solid basement. The reason it is really hard to build or find homes that have basements that "sound" and not "wet" is because the whole state of Georgia has a very high water level. We also have a lot of places where there is a lot of lime rock in the soil, and there is a major aquifer that runs through Georgia also along with many large rivers that connect to hundreds of ponds and lakes either on the top side or under ground.

I would stay away from Riverdale if I were you. County just lost accreditation (so home prices are expected to plummet). Crime is fairly high in that area (Clayton County had 50 murders last year for an 18 in 100,000 rate). When I used to go down Highway 85 on the way back from work each night, I would see at least 5 or 6 police cars having stopped someone with their weapons drawn just about every night.

The incoporated part of Southwest Atlanta is beautiful and safe to live. I move here two years ago and it is completely opposite of what people are saying.

"Human Being" makes Savannah sound like the good conservative place I've been looking for except for the schools that is. Wonder what happened to the public schools? Duh! Also, I never thought of looking in DC for conservatives. I learn something every day.

Seriously, Savannah is a beautiful city with lots of old south charm. There are many water front/marina type communities with lots to do. The nearby Military presence at Ft Stewart helps stabilize the area's economy. Like all cities though it has it's share of welfare ghettos.

Default Try Milledgeville, Ga

I have recently moved form Milledgeville, GA to Tallahassee, Fl.---I hate it here--The rent of homes is more than our beautiful,new,all brick home we haven't sold in Milledgeville. The homes on our side of town. are all old with low ceilings, which i Hate. We have 1 1/2 acres which you will not find here in a subdivision. If I could tell you where my home was, you would be impressed with the dollar value.

We wish to be able to pay the taxes and stay in the home. We now have 5 acres and are in a very private area - 40 mintues drive to Cedar Key - one hour to Gainesville. I have not been to Fitzgerald but driven through Tifton many times on I-75, of course. What impresses you about Fitzgerald? I have never felt comfortable in the counties around Macon. Driving to the mall are some pretty undesirable looking neighborhoods. We have always lived in very rural farming areas but still have close access to a great library and good grocery shopping along with lots of farmers selling produce. Agricultural jobs would be a plus.
