Georgias best kept secret - 3/2/2022
Great place to live and u Union grove schools are great. There’s plenty of things to do with a short 30 min drive to Atlanta and traffic is nothing like New York , there’s alot of cars at certain times but it moves , people are exaggerating because they probably from the country. Plenty of things to do and see whit a road trip like Hellen ,Savannah ,Fort Benning or take a drive to Florida

Some Good, Some Not-So-Good - 12/21/2019
When I moved here a few years ago from the northeast, I was hoping to live the rest of my life in McDonough. I love the warmer climate, especially our spring and fall months and mostly mild winters.
When I noticed that Christian churches were everywhere, I hoped to find a progressive and community minded place to make friends and serve God. Sadly, in the 21st century it seems churches here are still segregated by race and most concentrate on Bible studies rather than helping others.
Our cost of living is deceptive; house prices and property taxes are reasonable but sales tax on EVERYTHING (food and clothing) plus high food costs eat up any savings. I will never understand why basic grocery items such as a box of cereal or can of coffee is 5 to 15 percent more expensive than in PA or NY.
I thought living 25 miles southeast of Atlanta would be an easy commute for work but I was dead wrong. Traffic here is crazy since road improvements were not

Nothing to do - 11/15/2019
I’ve lived here for 4 years. There is nothing to do outside of eat food, watch a movie, or go bowling. There is nothing else to do. Lots of shopping so if you wanna hangout at home depot all day this is the place for you.

Divided on opinions - 4/15/2013
I was once told years ago that the quality of life goes down after you pass the airport in Atlanta, while heading south. I moved to McDonough, GA and found the people for the most part pleasant. There are some very decent people here. BUT if for any reason you let the majority know anything about you that is hard like having a tough time in life, or a marriage etc...they will take full reign in doing their best to use that against you. This simply doesn't seem to matter how well you like the person or how great of friends you think you are. Most relationships are superficial, more so than what we know is part of life. That is rather distrubing. There are no decent malls and I missed that. There are however some decent private schools for lower education Hampton First Baptist is wonderful for K. It is a quaint town that has grown considerably and overall though I really enjoyed it. Love Noahs Ark. There are also a handfull of carnivals and fairs to take your children. People despite

People's Baptist Academy - 1/30/2012
I love this school. My kids have thrived in the environment and academics. We are not part of the staff or the church. Everyone has been very good to us. Both of my kids SAT scores are through the roof. They are being taught correctly. I don't mind it being a bit more firm with the discipline, considering public schools that let you behave however you want it seems. We actually left the school for a year and both of the kids did poorly on their report cards and their testing. We are back and love

Native of McDonough - 10/5/2010
As a native of Henry County for almost 30 years-I have watched McDonough grow from a very attractive small town into an even more attractive medium sized town. I like being far enough away from the hustle & bustle of both Atlanta & Macon yet, close enough anytime I want to kick off the cowboy boots and put on a pair of high heals. I grew up here and left a couple of times but, I always keep coming back to good ole' Henry County! I don't know of any other place that I would rather raise my child than McDonough, Ga.

So very boring - 10/30/2008
We moved to McDonough in 2000 for my husband's new job. It is very boring. There is no decent Mall anywhere nearby. Is it me,or isn't that crazy for a fast growing city(more like a town) only 25 miles south of Atlanta?? I have lived in other cities in both the north and the south, but never have come across anything like this. We finally got a movie theater a couple of years ago. The nearest good malls are in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, which takes a good hour to drive to, and the traffic is pretty bad. I wish we could have moved to the northside suburbs of Atlanta. The quality of life up there is so much better. True, it is more expensive, but I would have settled for a smaller house up there, however, it was no where near my husband's job. It is a shame because the weather and the countyside is beautiful....just so

Great plavce to live and raise a family - 7/7/2008
We are only minutes from downtown Atlanta and the Atlanta Airport yet it feels like the country. We have beautiful subdivisions and parks. We do not have to leave our town for great shopping and resturants and the schools are

Great climate for green thumbs - 3/2/2008
Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons here. Spring comes early -- our daffodils and flowering trees started blooming last week (late February). We had freezing temperatures just a few days ago, but now it's sunny and in the 70's. We'll still have cold days off and on through spring, but for the most part, we should be finished with Winter. We'll be able to start our vegetable garden in early April and have fresh tomatoes, squash, and bell peppers all summer long and into the
