Review of Atlanta, Georgia

Moving to Atlanta
Star Rating - 3/2/2016
From NYC moving to Atlanta. Where to live (have my senior disabled mom with me)?

I hear that Northeast, GA (Lawrenceville, Snellville etc.) is nice and mostly safe (There is no place on this earth that is completely safe and/or without DRAMA- This is not Heaven). So, thriving school and church areas etc., would be suffice. We are very Street Smart so Atlanta would not scare us. There has to be some decent areas in Atlanta. I wonder if Atlanta gets a bad rap due to the majority of the population being African Americans ( As Harlem and certain areas in Brooklyn NY).

Highly recommend you reconsider moving to Atlanta. Please see reports from this post. Do not seek advice at City Data because it is nothing more than a forum dedicated to Real Estate agents hungry for commissions. They will not be honest with you about Atlanta's economy.

There are many negros here in this place that is correct. Harlem also has them and so does Detroit I think.
