International City not! - 6/5/2024

Not very impressed. Very high property taxes. If you live with city limits you'll pay taxes there and in the county too. 1700 and house is about 3000 per year. Add shed or pool it's more. If you live in the county you'll get water from the city and that costs extra. Most neighborhoods have no sidewalks or bike paths. No entertainment to speak of Jobs are restaurants, or retail.. which pay around 10 an hour. Healthcare is mediocre and travel to Macon often required. The only thing here s a military base. .

How safe is Warner Robbins for a young family with - 7/27/2013

Can anybody please provide some insight on how safe of a city Warner Robbins is, and any positive or negative comments on how it is living there in general. I will be relocating my family there from Florida for a job opportunity and want to make sure that either Warner Robbins or another town/city nearby, is a good place to live and raise a family. Thanks and please provide feedback.

What to do with it: - 12/10/2008

My years-ago boyfriend said they oughtta flatten all the buildings and stores, move them all out to the edges of town and make a giant parking lot in between. It does sound more appealing this way.

Dull - 10/17/2008

Currently, This is a sad and hard place to live. Previous comments about no recreation, no culture, no historical background, and absolutely nothing to do here is so very true. The “city” exists because of and revolves around the air force base. It appears the highest aspiration, here, is to get a job on the base. The community is the epitome of tiny minds living in small boxes. An aurora of apathy and non-contentment permeates here--you certainly cannot say that "Southern Hospitality" and friendliness flourishes here, and it comes across as cliquish, at times. I would say race relationships and how people see themselves is substantially below other areas of the country--or, at least other places where I have lived. Prime example: When first arriving here and looking for a church to attend, it was explained to me, by several people, that there were “black churches” and there were “white churches,” and which would be better for me to attend (church attendance of all things). Like, God, in heaven, is going to be saying: “Hey, black people over here, white people over here, brown people over here…….” First major, major turnoff encountered here. Macon is about 16 miles North of Warner Robins and currently suffering a crime surge and economical slump, so it offers little relief. New homes with side-walked neighborhoods are being built in Warner Robins, but cookie-cutter tracts abound, and laminate floors and fiberglass bathrooms are contractors’ up-grades. School programs and academics are vigorously--I mean “vigorously”--being worked on and improvement is being sought. The city is projected for growth, due to the air force bases’ planned expansions. There might be hope for this place with new people coming in with fresh minds, new thoughts, and different tastes. I am not saying this place needs an exotic or extreme change, but at least evolved upward a few decades.

Public transportation - 7/21/2008

Warner Robins is a small but crucial town for the military base Rabins AFB stationed here. Its a good place to live but,there is no public transportation at all. The job market is mostly military involved in and off base. There is plenty of shopping around. The main thing to be aware of is, if you do not own a car you are pretty much forced to take a cab everywhere.

Severely Limited - 12/6/2007

Culture and recreation within Warner Robins are extremely limited. The reasonable cost of living is offset with having to drive 100 miles to the Atlanta area for significant culture attractions. Warner Robins does not have a central city park or any type of citywide celebration. The only abundant types of recreation are bars, chain restaurants, and church. The closest "Fine Dining" restaurant is a 30 minute drive north in the city of Macon. The local YMCA is struggling to stay open despite a huge need for the organization. The city has grown very quickly over the past ten years, but has not built facilities to accomodate the increase in residents. To the contrary, business taxes are much higher and laws more restrictive than most adjacent towns - encouraging business to move outside the city limits. On the up side - Atlanta, Savannah, Athens, South Carolina, and Florida are all fairly close.

A Great Place To Raise Your Kids - 7/17/2007

Like most people in Warner Robins, my family was stationed at Robins AFB for 6 years. The people there are VERY nice and the schools on the southside are one of the best in the nation. If you enjoy southern hospitality, you will find it in Warner Robins. I particularly don't care for the hustle and bustle of the city life, mainly traffice, so Warner Robins was great for us. It's a small town with plenty of things to do and Macon is only 20 minutes away if you do enjoy the city. Warner Robins has a very low crime rate and the housing is very affordable! The town is also very military friendly. My son also had the best Pediatrician. And yes, it get's hot in the summer, but unless you live in Alaska, it's hot everywhere! So don't let anyone fool you about the healthcare or people being "uneducated" in that area. I will be the first to say, I'll be back there when we retire in 3 years!!

Healthcare - 12/16/2006

The healthcare here in Warner Robins is far below any other City I have lived in which includes Philadelphia and the treasure coast of FL.

Middle Georgia on the rise - 9/2/2006

Middle Georgia is a great place for the typical investor and family looking to settle down(i.e. retire, etc.) Houston County school system is really good and property is very reasonable. Small area that is emerging rapidly.

Hate to Leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 8/27/2006

Warner Robins is everything you want in a small town. Great schools, great neighbors, virtually no crime, unbelievable growth. Great military town, but due to that we might be leaving. I love it here!!!

Armpit of America - 4/4/2006

My husband was stationed here with the military. We have both lived in numerous cities, states, and countries. But this was by FAR the worst place we have ever lived. The people here are uneducated and not friendly at all. And unlike the previous poster says, things are NOT centrally located. Everything is clustered in one spot. So unless you want to live within that mile it is an adventure just to go grocery shopping. People walk down the middle of the busiest street in town and the cops dont care at all. Macon is the closet city and it is about 30-40 minutes away. It is also pretty awful. Education opportunities in this area SUCK. And so does the job market. Unless you want to work at Burger King, there are no jobs. And if you do find one, expect minimum wage. The weather is ok. If you like muggy, uncomfortable southern summers, springs, and falls. Winter is a bit cold, but only lasts a month. I would avoid Warner Robins, or all of middle Georgia, at all costs.

Warner Robins, GA - 10/19/2005

I miss it. Everything is located in such a way that I don't have to travel far to hit all the important stores. The hospital is centrally located and offers pretty good care. I know because I was a nurse there for 12 years. The crime rate is low compared to a lot of the places I've been researching. But I wouldn't go back because it is so hot there for so long every year. But a lot of people like that. It is only about a 2 hour drive from Atlanta and 3 from Savannah. The Macon air port is also pretty convenient.
