Title: 'Hoods north of Alpharetta, GA? Post by: Cheddar on July 21, 2017, 04:14:47 PM Running some recon (no job change... yet) but my spidey senses are tingling.
Trying to get a feel for small towns within 45 minutes of Alpharetta, GA. I know some peeps here are from the ATL, so curious on input. Good schools are a must with low population (preferably with acreage at a decent cost). Title: Re: 'Hoods north of Alpharetta, GA? Post by: schild on July 21, 2017, 04:22:02 PM hoods?

Title: Re: 'Hoods north of Alpharetta, GA? Post by: Cheddar on July 21, 2017, 04:38:02 PM Alpharetta is north Atlanta, north of there is Squidbilly Land, just with a longer commute. Exactly. Any suggestions? Title: Re: 'Hoods north of Alpharetta, GA? Post by: Selby on July 21, 2017, 04:49:07 PM You're looking at north Atalanta, which from Chattanooga on I-75 to south Atlanta is starting to be one giant developed strip. I think it's going to depend on prices of the places that meet your requirements (acreage) and willingness to suck up the commute (which by west coast/New England standards isn't *that* bad but it definitely isn't fun). Essentially how far out into the country are you ok with respect to commute times and how bad of a school system you can tolerate. There aren't really any *good* school systems outside of Atlanta rich white people territory to my knowledge.
Whatever you do, don't live south of Atlanta and come north, you'll hate that. Title: Re: 'Hoods north of Alpharetta, GA?

As far as the outskirts of Helen. Around 45 minutes to an hour. No plans to live south. Schools are a big deal as we will need kindergarten to high school. Title: Re: 'Hoods north of Alpharetta, GA? Post by: Yegolev on July 27, 2017, 12:37:16 PM For commutes, I'd suggest living between Alpharetta and the ATL for that counter-commute feel. As for schools, they all suck in GA. I also don't know of any "bad" neighborhoods in that area.
Maybe you want to live in the mountains, though, and drive south to Alpharetta. I can't advise on that but I assume plenty of others do it. That tech corridor is outside my commute range and no one there wants me to be remote, so fuck'em. I know at least one person who lives in Dawsonville and commutes to downtown ATL. It can be done. I know another guy who moved from Dawsonville into the residential void that is East Cobb, and he said if I ever heard him complain about his new commute that I should slap him.

Pretty much where my thoughts are. Silver City or slightly north. Title: Re: 'Hoods north of Alpharetta, GA? Post by: Yegolev on July 31, 2017, 11:30:35 AM Not my area. Probably perfectly safe for white people.
