Best places to live in Atlanta

[Mr.Marc]

It's what some would call suburban hell, lol. If incorporated, it's what would be known as John's Creek. It's inbetween the cities of Alpharetta and Duluth.

Wow! Never heard the words suburban and hell in the same sentence. Thanks a lot though.

^ In Atlanta, the words 'suburban' & 'hell' go together in most cases. But I realize that since you do live in Sumter you must be immune to the issues of sprawl in larger cities. That was the case when I moved from Rock Hill - I assumed Atlanta was the entire metro, that there was no real distinction between suburban & urban.

But there is a real distinction, architectually, culturally & in many other ways. Whereas in smaller cities such as Columbia, the 'zones' are not too severe, you can quickly go through exurban to outer suburban to inner suburban & then into downtown within minutes. In Atlanta - it can be hours, a metro the size of Columbia might make up just a quarter of Atlanta's sprawling suburban mass. So - once you stay in Atlanta, or having grown up in a large city - you notice the distinctions.
