Is Dalton Georgia a Good Place to Live? | Pros and Cons of Living in Dalton Georgia

[@justjasonbeardenjokes]

I was born and raised in Dalton, Ga. Lived there for a large portion of my life, from 1981 to 2008. The strange thing is that my time there, it stayed primarily the same with hardly any changes. I moved to Nebraska to be with my wife and start a family only to come back to Dalton a few years later to visit family and everything had changed on me!

[@wanderson1978]

How did it change if you don't mind me asking? For the better of for the worse?

[@franciscolandaverde1739]

I was born in Dalton raised there and left as quickly as I possibly could I've spent no more than 8 hrs or so in that place in 17 years and do not plan on going back anytime soon!!

[@mikedavis4851]

Smart Move.😊

[@carlosguerrero3889]

Something important you left out was the weather year round. What are winters like?

[@jprice3648]

Cons: its sucks. Pros: it could be worse.

[@wanderson1978]

LOL

[@JasonTrew2018]

I used to go down to work and play in Dalton and it is a train watchers paradise with both NS and CSX running through, the visitors center is also a train viewing platform with Virtual Railfan providing a stream and ATCS to see which trains occupy which block coming to or heading out of Dalton

[@franciscolandaverde1739]

As a train rider and being born and raised in Dalton that line was my first ride from Chattanooga to ATL

[@mikedavis4851]

I would be on the one heading out of Dalton.😊

[@paranormalsecurity9886]

I was born and bred there played for the catamounts and everything I would never return to that town you make it seem so nice but the corruption that goes on there the BS the crime everybody I know has moved out of that place it’s literally just a black hole

[@so_many_women_so_little_ti2833]

I'm planning to move and live at Dalton. How about crime,discriminations against non 100% US citizen,...? So, do you think it's not safe?How about finding jobs? I have bachelor degree in English literature. I might live at Horseshoe way.

[@fredcooper6967]

Honestly I wouldn’t your bachelors degree don’t mean much in this town the pay rate it horrible and only jobs you find is for carpet mills I would go to Marietta,ga or somewhere else this is a dead end town

[@blursedvark4973]

@@so_many_women_so_little_ti2833 Most small towns like Dalton, Calhoun, Etc., have a minority majority. They are pretty accepting when it comes to race, so racism and discrimination is not very common. However, Dalton has a noticeable poverty problem, if you go to the right places. There's quite a bit of crime in those areas, but they're just like many other towns. Downtown and anywhere near there has a lower rate of crime, and there are many opportunities there.

SAD MTG , DOES NOTHING FOR DALTON, GA., BUT TOTALLY EMBARRASSES RESIDENTS.

[@JS-zb1vv]

@@johnmattison6983 what does she have to do with it ? Like any other politician before her . Nobody really does anything for anyone. This is for the local government to attract business and offer incentives. Be involved with the regional commissions and go to the state meetings for business attractions.

[@ravensunn]

I have lived in Dalton for 56 years, your dalton is way better then mine. I'm right in the center of town. And all I see is a lot of poor homeless people and drug addicts. And dalton doing nothing about it. There is nothing for the young people to do.

[@mikedavis4851]

Quit sending people like Green to Washington.😮😊

[@mikedavis4851]

Good luck 😂😂😂

[@thehospitalguy1657]

Awesome video. Loved hearing about Dalton. My wife has three brothers and their families all living in Dalton. We were impressed when we drove in to visit. It was a first visit for me. The thought of moving there has been on our minds. Didn't know if we would find any members of our church in Dalton. My wife's family are not members of our church. As we drove in to Dalton we noticed a familiar building, a meeting house for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I thought wow we are home. Also amazed at the price of homes in Dalton. We live in California a couple miles from the ocean. Our little home is valued at over $800,000 although we paid a lot less than that years ago. I didn't think I would ever see homes under $300,000 again. Anyway, keep up the good work.

I get depressed when I see the City limits sign.I live north on Hwy 411 if I go south I travel to Athens TN. Take interstate 75 to Chattanooga then go south.😊

[@thehospitalguy1657]

@@mikedavis4851 You get depressed when you see the Dalton City Limits sign? Why is that?

[@edgarluzania5575]

What about public transportation and renting houses? I mean cost per month

[@jprice3648]

Taxi and uber.

[@paulareilly912]

Why is everyone hating on it? Im trying to move to the area.

[@jackettrainer]

Born there and lived till 2011 other than a short break in atl for GT. Definately would discuss the outdoor activities (hiking, trails, fishing, camping, etc) and mention the depot as finer side of dining…

[@johnmattison1096]

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO MTG, and what sad rep. from this Dist.

[@mikedavis4851]

😂

[@thekeeper5588]

Dalton could be nice the problem is crime/drugs. My issue is the market likes to use the word luxury in order to charge more but in reality these apartments usually suck! Mediocre at best. The ones that are decent are too high to even rent. The rest aren’t even close to luxury but they charge rent like they are.

[@sarahsargent9439]

How is the elevation hiking in Dalton?

[@ILY_TD]

It's so good!

[@sethbraswell2857]

I was born in Georgia

[@kenrichmond6906]

Lived here for 55 years. Was once a great place to live. It’s become a real dump in the past couple of years. Overcrowded, rundown, mainly a low class town. Can’t wait to sell and MOVE!

then one would assume that you would be able to spell it correctly.

[@simgamer313]

My Mother's family is from Dalton. I remember when it was mostly white. I'm 50 years old and Dalton was a much smaller town back then. Dalton is northwest Georgia. I'm old enough to remember when they sprayed for bugs in the summer. They stopped that because of toxins in the spray they used. And Yes, there were Mexicans then too. My second cousin married a Mexican man. There was a migration of blacks from a country, I forget which one, in the 1980's. My grand uncle and aunt, lived on Heritage Circle, off Underwood. My other great uncle lived on Dozer street and others lived on Charles Street.

[@mikedavis4851]

MTG IS PROOF that toxins effect peoples brains sorry.
