To each his own but you could not pay me to live in or near Atlanta for any reason!

Thank you for putting this together. This just made me more confident in our decision to look for our home in Sandy Springs, because none of the cons are a big deal for us at all, and I actually consider the density to be a plus (it makes the traffic less of a problem when you can walk so many places).

I didn't know some of these existed!. They are definitely hidden gems. Thanks for the info Ike.

Aha! 4/5 in the northwest quadrant; one northeast of Atlanta. 😊

More often than not you will get to pick your natural gas provider but not always. Some cities like Buford were very aggressive with their natural gas infrastructure and made a tremendous investment in the Northern Gwinnett Area. Because of that, the PSC (Public ServiceCommission) is making those customers along their lines only use the City of Buford. The rates aren’t terrible but having a choice is better. I have lived in both scenarios and having the choice of Walton Gas has been tremendous. Pick them if you have a choice.

All of the cities that you prefer (and the ones you say were "missed") are very expensive. They might make sense for someone with a very big budget or who does not mind downsizing, but I generally would not recommend retirees to move into areas where they will be competing with yuppies making $300-400k+ (Dunwoody, Roswell, etc.).

The wages don’t reflect the same in those cities. The avg in the California and New York City is higher. San Francisco median 66k and 136k household, manhattan 58k and 100k household and Atlanta 46k and 78k household. In general we cost cheaper because we make less.

No the answer is no.

I’ll stay in good ole SW Georgia.

Can you recommend a condo , or preferably a true industrial loft in Atlanta with low hoa but great area

Those of us who live in the Marietta, Roswell area (East Cobb county/N. Fulton county) know that the "15 minute drive from Cobb county into the perimeter & downtown area" is a fantasy. That is not true unless you are driving on the expressway in the middle of the night, and you are the only car on the road!

Thank you

how about for single moms who want to rent ? who is considering Marietta from New England

Should I avoid buying a house with a power line

Definitely a more fair liberal state we don't need that racism here!

You certainly do seem to get a heck of a lot of house for the money there.

Evans Georgia is growing by leeps and bounds .

Can you imagine a place with a huge military presence and no strip clubs?

Marrietta, no. Roswell, maybe some parts but it shouldn't be on this "list".

heightened crime? Way to scare people

You know what else is massive?

Georgia is my favorite place to reside.

Douglas, Ga region is best to reside affordable and eco-friendly environment impressive landscape view and booming. Most of restaurant, shopping, and entertainment in this district very delightful.

Please, allow me to correct this video: WHITE People are FLEEING these Georgia Cities in 2024 2024 Demographics Augusta 56.44% black Columbus 46.6% black Monroe 53.49 % black Atlanta 47.55% black Albany 75.1% black Now you know the rest of the story...

Can you do more videos explaining different styles of houses? And the pros and cons of those styles? So many listings say ranch, and then modern, modern century, and it’s a bit confusing

Hi any tips for first time buyers? Can you explain the difference between getting in early and locking in a house and building a custom home and the process of build vs buy?

People are not leaving their dying and birth rates are not high enough to keep up because the cost of living is ridiculous even in Georgia.

Great video, thanks

How long have you been doing real estate?

your delusional. So price reductions, longer days on market mean a strong economy. Not to mention mass layoffs.

At this point as an “ empty nester” small is better !! That will eventually become Large again !! 😊

Still too expensive !! Not overly impressed !! Got more “bang for my buck” here in Conyers !!! 2019 bought for $429,000 2025… $700,000 1 acre . 5 bedrooms , 5 baths , 3 car garage 3400 sq. ft !!!!

People are fleeing Georgia moving to Atlanta 🤷🏽‍♂️

A million bucks to live in almost Chattanooga!?!?!?😮. Alphakentucky

Also, DO NOT BUY a home on a hill or in a hole. On a hill cutting grass is a pain in the butt plus just backing up and down the driveway and taking the trash to the curb sucks. In a hole it seems that all the runoff from rainstorms floods your yard or garage and basement plus if the front has a drop from the road, just think how much the backyard drops off.

Can’t help but notice the candle warming lamp in the background; love it! Would you mind sharing your source for that? Love your videos! Thanks!

Looks like our goal of moving into Marietta will have to wait until 2026. 🤢

It's still to expensive, I am looking for something cheaper near Atlanta city, Georgia.

In retirement I hope to travel, so proximity to ATL will be important for me. Getting there on MARTA would be a good option. I don't play golf. Enjoy hiking. Ideas?

Just saw your video. Beginning my retirement planning. New subscriber!

North Decatur is cheaper than 30030 because the schools are Atlanta schools not Decatur and 30030 also has our own police and fire departments. But it is expensive. The parking is the biggest issue. Fortunately, I can walk to the Decatur square. We moved there in 2010 because when we factored everything in it was the best option in Atlanta for kids, schools, and commute to Atlanta. There is so much to do for families and adults. It is also very diverse and that was important to us.

If you go down Columbia Drive, you have access to I-20. Don’t feel comfortable driving thru there? Take Glennwood to get closer to the city. If you take Clairmont/ Clairemont, you have access to I-85. You don’t like the traffic? Take N Druid Hills Road. You want to access I-285? Hit Lawrenceville Highway. There’s two access points. To say that there’s not much access to the highway is disingenuous.

Dont move here

DON'T MOVE MORE PEOPLE HERE, ITS OVERCROWEDED. PEOPLE CAN'T DRIVE. PRICES ARE SKYROCKETING AND LAND/WILDLIFE IS BEING MASS RAPED

What about Blairsville? Is property affordable there? I I need a sfh under 200k

Always feeling safe there... Lived at St Marlo... I know...now in Manhattan NY
