Forsyth County is now one of the most diverse area in the Atlanta area. But that wasn't always the case. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2WqnHWIhsd1n7csi=s685ygqktzMCqTlU All places can change but that doesn't mean you should hide the past. (I am not accusing Sarah of this at all!) I think everyone should know the past to understand the future.

Don't choose this Lake as a camping place because I saw this video if you are a parent of a child your child walk to the water and you can hear the sound and when you ask them why are you under the water they will say somebody say to me and their actually sleep walking the reason that this place is Haunted is because this Lake used to be a Island some people thought they should change this into a lake and when you go under the Lake you can see some cars so don't go here I am not a Georgian resident but believe me don't go here because I saw a video

You drove right past partners pizza several times. I hope you got some pizza!

We know who wants to live there,

Can i share clips from your video on our new construction community’s social media pages?

I think townhomes would be perfect as a starter home but after a while I’m going to need to upgrade

If you’re conservative, beware of public schools in Georgia. Unlike FL, Georgia permits indoctrination

I’m born & raised Northwest Georgia… Right in between Chattanooga and Atlanta… This area has grown like crazy the past 5-10 years…. Fort Oglethorpe, Dalton, and Cartersville have a lot going on now and so many people have moved here from surrounding states.

The health care access surprised me. Nice. 😊

Do homes in GA have “Specials” “CDD” or “Bonds” like FL does? Basically separate amount to pay or finance on top of the price of house. Thanks.

You forgot to mention the population explosion and how crowded Metro is, all of the surrounding counties are at or near a million people. The road system is over worked and traffic is everywhere. Please be fair and do a complete separate video of the congestion and traffic. I left metro 2 years ago for a rural area of Florida, its very difficult to understand the growth when I return to visit. The road system did not come close to keeping up with the population growth.

All the Biden voters are flocking to a safer place...

Do you do business for realty in North West Georgia also

I moved my family to Gwinnett County (Brookwood school system) coming from NJ a little over 2+ years ago & it was best decision my wife & I had made. The school system our kids are in now is nearly mirror identical in the education quality & diversity to where we were previously. At first our kids needed some time to adjust but they settled in very nicely since. I was fortunate to God that I was able to transfer my current job from NYC down here....and the one thing I will not miss is shoveling SNOW! LOL We considered Florida...thank goodness we dodged that one! Cost of living has gone up a bit, but that's inflation for you but considering I'm not spending an astronomical costs on property taxes and commuting expenses, its' balanced out.

Did you say how much BraseltonVillage going to be cost wise?

As a soon to be Georgia resident, I will be sad to leave Florida but looking forward to new and exciting adventures in Georgia. There are too many reasons to leave Florida including the heat and insurance.

What is the City of Duluth Police hiding? Other view on what it is REALY like living in Duluth, Ga “Sharing information with the public can help build trust and improve communication between law enforcement and the community. It can also help the public understand what law enforcement officers do and why they do it.” So why, after weeks and several FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) requests, is the City of Duluth not complying with a request to do the above? Especially since a recent article “Duluth Chief of Police Jacquelyn Carruth” on April 21st stated: “Carruth has really expanded the department’s use of technology in many areas. “ “Community outreach was one area Carruth wanted to expand. It has been a department-wide philosophy for several years,” FOIA history to take advantage of City of Duluth technology and Community outreach philosophy: A. FIOA request on what type of data the Duluth Police Department collects on their citizens B. City said that information was not something that was normally shared with the public. We then sent them a list of over 25 Police Departments that already share that information online (for free) C. Then the City stated that they did not have the requested data. However, we pointed out the three software applications the police department purchased, it is clearly documented online as having that information available in their applications o Tyler Technologies - CAD CFS export interface $2,469.60 o Tyler Technologies - Law Enforcement Mobile Site Software $181,933.65 o Tyler Technologies - Brazos SAAS & E citation $7,073.43 D. The city then denied the request based upon Open Records Act O.C.G.A. §50-18-70 et seq. (§ 50-18-72 (44)) - we responded by point out 1) that was not the intent of that clause , but regardless, that clause had a “however” exception that applied to our request. 2) We also pointed out other sections in said law that explicitly stated our request was within the FOIA statute. E. The City of Duluth then acknowledged our request was within FOIA guideless and they had the information and would send it. However, when it was received it was not complete - it did not cover the totality of the information that was requested (making it worthless). We responded back pointing out the information was not complete, then provided detailed technical information (for the second time) on how they could easily (three steps) pull the requested information from their software. (buying new technology does not help unless your know how to use it - maybe another example of City of Duluth wasting taxpayers money) This FOIA is still pending after several weeks, the law stipulates a response in 3 working days……… What is the City of Duluth Police hiding? We have an idea, and have already shared this with the Chief of Police and the Mayor - but the above, obvious foot-dragging makes us wonder, what else are they hiding?

I live in the city and I have a house in the suburbs so yes I enjoy both worlds.

Me, I'm "those people" that lives in a small town that now needs to be renamed Florida or New York or any other state. Growing up in Metro Atlanta, we moved to my dad's hometown in North Georgia because the crime rate in our part of metro was increasing exponentially during the '96 Olympics. And then of course the traffic. Its always been bad, but just keeps getting worse and worse. We're now seeing the same thing happen in our quiet, little town in North Georgia. It is very upsetting. I love me some Georgia, though. I just miss the slow, little less crowded North Georgia. Guess that's whay happens when you live in a beautiful place. ☹️

Hope your neighbors don’t have a fire or broken water pipe

Alpharetta also has a Costco.

My brother bought his home in Johns creek for 289k in 2018😢

Any work for Uber Drivers?

Target is overrated. Shop locally and support a small business.

The title should read north metro Atlanta

We moved from NYC to Stone Mountain GA and lived there for years. We recently moved to Cumming and it is a great town. I have no complaints I just hope it doesn’t get crowded.

How about Houston and school taxes?

We visited there from Chicago area two weeks ago, and Sarah is absolutely correct! Beautiful area, lots of great shopping and food, but very high priced. Not affordable at all, unless you are a higher income family, or are looking for an older fixer upper (very few, but they are there) or a very small home, condo or townhome. Most of the homes we saw were million or multi-million dollar mansions. Not sure where Travel and Leisure get there numbers from in that regard. We really loved the area though.

The hype…

For auto racing, Road Atlanta is half an hour from this world renowned track! And, no NASCAR !

Here are some additional numbers to consider Let’s make City of Duluth safer, and also lower our Duluth citizens taxes. “The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Duluth is 1 in 74. Based on FBI crime data, Duluth is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Georgia, Duluth has a crime rate that is higher than 57% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.” (take from Google search on Duluth Police / safty) Maybe we should follow Buford’s lead? Buford Ga had its own police force until 1975 (just like Dacula Ga), when the city commissioners decided it would close its police force because of its mounting cost, and concentrate its city taxes on its own independent school district. “Since then, The City of Dacula ranks sixth safest, and the City of Buford is right behind it as seventh safest place to live in the top 360 suburbs in the nation. Interestingly, neither Georgia city has a police force, but relies on the Gwinnett County Police Department for such services.” Maybe it is time for City of Duluth to do the same thing? www.gwinnettforum.com/2024/08/brack-two-gwinnett-cities-among-nations-safest-suburbs/ Abraham Baldwin, Duluth Association for transparent and accountable government kzbin.info/www/bejne/rV7chYpteLR3eKM

Wait! People move to Gainesville by choice?

Yeah, prices will probably go up and interest rates will go down, barring any Black Swan events. Huge amounts of inventory, if any, won't be coming online for years. Timing will be tricky but good representation and solid lenders could make a ALL the difference, especially with so much uncertainty. Do the best you can. 😊

Best neighborhoods in Buford ga

Do they have farmers markets?

Good one, thank you.

Suwanee is a good alternative if you are zoned for North Gwinnett another good alternative is across the River into South Forsyth. Forsyth County Schools are very good too.

The police force is totally unaware constitutional. Police Force will arrest you illegally, and will arrest you for filming the outside of city hall.

Sounds exciting! What about any concerts halls and museums for those who is interested in cultural life?

What Is The Best And Worst Area To Buy A House That Is A Good Fixer Upper that is kind of suburb and land space but not too close to city metro living $ 50,000 Amt first timer

Hi Sarah. It sounds like you visited California during a stretch of good weather. Late summer months can be downright oppressive here. Triple digit temps are common here in Los Angeles County in Aug, Sept and Oct. How would you compare traffic in California metro areas vs. Atlanta metro. I’m used to LA and Orange County traffic, even San Francisco traffic, so I imagine Atlanta traffic is not quite as bad.

I love Georgia, been going there since 1988 (I live in NY) family is there but Georgia is growing too, prices are going through the roof and no beach at all!! Savannah is 6-7 hours away from where Marietta( where my family) is. Tax breaks are great especially living in Cherokee county. South Carolina is probably the better option now for affordability and still has access to beaches. Look into Charleston or even inland more by Lexington Columbia which is 2hrs away from beaches. Georgia, like Florida and Texas is way over priced now. Job market is good there but still not like NY but their housing prices are starting to look like NY.

Lets collab im in snellville! Im good eith camera work

Thank you so much. I've recently been looking at properties in/around Jefferson and wanted to learn more about this charming town.
