Top 10 Best Places to Live in Georgia

It has been said that the nicest people in the United States reside in Georgia. If you live there or have driven through the state, you know this is true. In fact, if you’re from such areas as NYC, South Florida or California, Georgians are so polite compared to you that it can be a little disconcerting.
For instance, you can be on a family vacation making your way up I-75 just outside of Atlanta but you need a little pick-me-up. As you wearily drive through McDonald’s to pay for your caffeine jolt, you don’t expect the 16 year-old at the window to ask you how your day was. And you really don’t expect her to grin from ear to ear while waiting for your answer.
Yes, the Peach State has friendly smiles and a proud heritage. The best places to live in Georgia embody these wonderful characteristics, plus a host of other endearing qualities. Here’s a look at some of Georgia’s finest:
10. Martinez
Number 87 on Money Magazine’s “Top 100 Best Places to Live,” Martinez (pronounced Mart-uhn-EZ) has a population of just over 30,000. The median home price is around $193,000 and the town boasts extravagant mansions, outstanding school systems and inland access to the Savannah River.
9. Richmond Hill
A quiet family community of just over 10,000 residents, Richmond Hill is just south of Savannah. The crime rate is low and the southern charm is high, according to the city’s official Web site. If you like to be near the coast, this is the town to enjoy great seafood, antiques and a variety of recreational activities. The median home price is $157,000.
8. Dallas
Dallas, according to Money Magazine, is where the jobs are in Georgia. Located in Paulding County, Dallas is being rejuvenated by an aggressive economic development plan that includes a multi-million dollar airport project. The average home price is $139,000. The county just recently received the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Excellence for Economic Development award.
7. McDonough
Becoming one of the largest cities in Henry County, McDonough has excellent schools, health care and outdoor recreation. It’s been designated as a “City of Character” by the Georgia Municipal Association. Located 25 miles south of Atlanta, the city has a small-town feel but access to big-city activities. Population is approximately 190,000 and the median home price in 2007 was $152,000.
6. Peachtree City
“Plan to Stay” is Peachtree City’s motto and it was voted one of Money Magazine’s best places to live. U.S. News & World Report reported it as one of the best places to raise a family or retire. The relatively new city is another Atlanta suburb and limits development. The population is approximately 34,000 and the median home price is around $250,000.
5. Suwanee
Settled originally by Shawnee Indians, the town of Suwanee is rich with its Native American heritage. It was placed at number 10 on Money’s top 100 best places list. Called a friendly and progressive town with strong ties to the railroad, Suwanee has a population of 11,200 and average home prices around $293,000.
4. Valdosta
Just over the north border of Florida is Georgia’s tenth largest city with a population of approximately 43,000, per U.S. Census 2000 statistics. According to the city’s Web site, Valdosta boasts a wealth of “amenities, attractions and overall beauty” that provides an excellent standard of living for residents. The median home price is $165,000.
3. Marietta
Marietta is one of Georgia’s “best managed and most livable cities,” according to Georgia’s Municipal Association. Located in the foothills of the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Marietta has numerous historical homes, monuments and sites. Just north of Atlanta, it has a population of about 60,000 and an average home price of $203,000.
2. Atlanta
Called the Hostess City of the South, Atlanta is known for its amazing walking tours. It offers historic squares, 18th century cemeteries and riverfront boardwalks. The city is vastly hip and culturally sophisticated but it manages to retain its southern charm. The median home price is $210,000 and the population as of 2006 was over 4.9 million people.
1. Savannah
Perhaps the friendliest place in all of Georgia is the coastal town of Savannah. Deep history and the present day meld together in this charming city where residents enjoy beautiful parks, squares and mansions in century-old settings. With a population of over 130,000, Money Magazine named it one of the best places to retire. The median home price is $137,500.
This is a small sampling of the best places to live in Georgia and doesn’t include many of the state’s hidden gems and quaint towns. Along with friendly residents, the state boasts succulent peaches, Appalachia and its own “Little Grand Canyon” as some of the many reasons why Georgians love their state.

I have grown up in the south and Savannah, GA is the most racist place I have ever been to in my life. I would never want to live their with my family.
Hello. I am very interested in receiving some more information about Georgia, as I’m thinking about moving to this state. I have a 6 year old daughter and I’m a single mom, therefore any information about the school systems and crime rates would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Best regards,

Hello,
I am from New England in the Boston area and have been researching the state of Georgia to move there in about 2 years. I would like to live in an area that does not have a lot of crime such as Atlanta but close enough to the city say within 45 minutes from the city. I will be a certified elementary school teacher in 2 years so I would like to live in an area that is diverse including an equal amount of whites and blacks. I like the demographics of Boston MA because there is some diversity but hate the winters and prices of homes. I also have been looking at the Georgia MLS real estate listings and I see that houses are very affordable. What areas would be low crime and affordable? if you could Email me some info on the towns that would be good, that would be appreciated.
Thank You
I was born and raised in Carrollton, Georgia. It is a small community (about 20,000), with a good mix of whites and blacks. The city schools in Carrollton are very good schools, and it is a very good place to raise a family. It is about an hour from downtown Atlanta, and two hours from Birmingham, Ala. I also would recommend Douglasville, Smyrna, and Newnan. These would all be good places for a teacher, as I actually looked for jobs teaching in some of these areas. I hope this is helpful. I am completely biased to the south, though, so do more research before taking my comments at face-value.
i’m in the process of completing my degree as a medical administative assistant,(rma) for short, and i ‘m from dayton,ohio, and i’m tired of the cold winters ,really want to live in a place with no snow,or very mild winters, and i’m looking for a nice city ,or town with things to do, low crime cause of the safety of my children, i’m a single mom of two teenage sons, a little boy and little girl,equal amount of black and white people, where they have high turn out of high school graduates good schools, plenty of hospitals,and churches, and i need as much information about any place in ga that i can get, anything but atlanta.
I am at a point in my life where I would like to move. I went to college in Alabama and I would love to go back to the south. I am thinking about Georgia. I am the mother of 1 and I am a business owner. I would like to move somewhere in Georgia that is culturally diverse, family-oriented and things to do for a young couple. In addition, I really don’t want to move to Atlanta, however I would like to be close enough to drive for the day. I want an area with good schools, church, activities for children also. Any info about an area in Georgia that is close to Atlanta and that has some of the things I stated please let me know. Any additional info is greatly appreciated!
I was born and raised in Anchorage, AK. I’m currently in my first year of college at The University of Alaska. In July, I have plans to drive from Anchorage to Atlanta, GA. I’ve done so much research on schools, neighborhoods, community activities and more. If someone could give me some insight about Atlanta, that would be helpful. I have a lot of knowledge at this point, but I’m sure I can learn more from you all. Alaska is a great place for people interested in the outdoors, but I want to go somewhere where there are many activities. Alaska doesn’t offer that as far as my interests and my likings go. I’d like to be involved in charities and community events for the youth of minorities. Alaska definitely doesn’t have a lot of concerts for the type of music i enjoy, such as Rap, R&B and Soul. Hopefully, I will be attending an HBCU. Well, write me thankx. Bye
Might I add, I’m probably going to live close to Atlanta, but not in Atlanta. I am aware that the crime is high. Therefore, I’d just like to be within driving distance for shopping and fun concerts!
Warner Robins is nice and growing.
I am interested in relocating to GA,I am a RN I would like someone to tell me the best hospital to apply at and the best area to live , I will be a single mother with teenage children .

We moved here from Silicon Valley in 2002. Warner Robins area is a very open community with lots of DOD jobs. It offers faith base systems & community. It still has it’s “Southern Charm” with locals here & open to change! It is a very diversified community & helpful one, might I add! The local school system is one of the best in Georgia! I would suggest this area in Georgia if you are looking for low crime!
The police dept. does NOT put up with crime! There are still blue laws, why…
The local congressman have been very active in our community, thankfully!
Macon

Macon seems to have more Hospitals if someone is working in the health care system. Macon has a wonderful Arts community! There is just so much in Macon!
Check it out!
Me and My husband is looking to make a move from New York to Georgia, we’re thinking about Henry County, Clayton County or Dekalb County. We have no kids yet, but planning on having a family soon. So can someone give me some feed back.
Hello and thank you,
My name is Jill Smith, and I currently live in Boston, MA., and work for the Department of PUblic Health. I am a social worker. I am very interested in relocating to the south, and so far, Georgia seems to have the best package all the way around. Would you let me know the best way to get to know Georgia?…I fI can find a job and sell my home, I’m there. Thank you…
Uhm . I live in Columbus Georgia and people are not nice. You are very wrong about that. There is nothing nice about this state. I want to move out of it as soon as I can . I literally hate it. People here are VERY racist . You can’t find a job here. Everyone is crazy. I dont know about other cities, but Columbus sucks ass. Just to let you know. I will be the happiest bitch in the whole world once im out of here.
I have just been informed that my job is relocating to Columbus, GA. While I am interested in moving from CT. I am concerned about the lifestyle and the community at large in the south. I am working professional with multiple degrees and would like to live someplace nice but within reasonable driving distance of my new job in Columbus. So if anyone has any first hand experience and could recommend a town within 20 miles of Columbus that would be a great help.
Thanks
Aaron
Aaron, We just moved to Columbus in September. We currently live in North Columbus. We came from a smaller community nestled between Cleveland and Akron Ohio. Columbus reminds me of Akron Ohio. Some very nice area, but some very depressed areas also. My husband works in downtown Columbus, which is a beautiful area with newer options for downtown living. Since we have a family, we picked the northern part of Columbus. It seems a calmer and quieter in this area. We are still unsure if this is where we will set up permanent residence.
I have been thinking of relocating. I am looking for a good surburban area, with good schools, close to hospitals,and shopping. I would like an area with a low crime rate and diverse mix of cultures in the neighbor hood. I have heard so many mixed messages about the Atlanta area. So I don’t want to live in the city but close enough that I could be a part of the many things it has to offer. I would also need to be able to find employment in the healthcare field. I have known people from the area that say the job market there is very limited at best. What’s the story?? What field are offering employment in the Atlanta area?? Can’t move without an income>>>>
What’s a good place to start lookg???
Savannah is known as the Hostess city of the south, not Atlanta.

My family is thinking about relocating to GA, near Atlanta. We have 8 and 9 year old sons. Family friendly suggestions with easy commute to Atlanta with supurb school systems? Look forward to any information you may be able to provide to us.
Hi, we are from Australia and deciding between Atlanta and California; tough decision. I am sooooo surprised by the rent in Atlanta; and the size of the the Townhomes. Australia is so expensive and so hard to raise family now because of the high tax rate and high inflation.
Can anyone let us know about 2 or 3 good areas for families with good elementary schools? We are OK with work as we have our own business.
We are Australian-Asian, would racial be a problem? I am sick of racism, as I had bad experiences in the 80s in Australia, don’t want my kids to experience that.

I would love to move to GA. I have a Event Planning company and would like to explore this field in GA. What area would be good for this type of business?
I am a single mom who wants info on the best place to relocate to in Georgia. We want to live in a small town with good medical facilities, which is where I plan to obtain employment. Low to no crime, good school, affordable homes, and quietness are what we are seeking. I keep reading that towns in southern Georgia are the best. Are they?
Thank you,
Jaye
I ive in Georgia. i am from a very cold state. If you move to central or middle Georgia you would have to move to places like Warner Robins,Byron,fort Valley, Milledgeville (my favorite) Dublin, kathleen etc.. these cities arre quiet,hardly any crime,and excellent school systems. Other good cities are Newman, Smyrna, Douglasville and McDonough.
I have only been here in Georgia for two years, probably 1 or 2 months in Gwinett county and a 1year and 7months or so in Conyers (Rockdale). I haven’t had any horrible experiences but the schools in here in Rockdale aren’t the best and are not equipped for kids with disabilities. Sometimes I really miss Florida because we had more help with respite and after school care, advocates for my kids, I also was provided with transporation vans, and tutoring for the boys. Many of these organizations came looking for you and your child or children with disability helped. I almost forgot dental care as well or whatever their needs where. I truely miss that. I honestly didn’t move here for any reason other than to be closer to my sister because her son died and I came to be closer to her and the remaining kids. I can honestly say that this living is different I have not adjusted yet Im trying, however I cannot say the road has been easy. Conyers is livable but you better be ready to travel if you are really for a small town but want big city things.
I currently live in Omaha, ne and looking to move to GA. I would like to move to GA within in the next 4 to 5 years. I have 2 boys currently 1yrs and 5ys. I would like to move someplace that has good schools, low crime decent living and good job market. I will be finishing my degree of Bachelor of Science for healthcare management and my husband is a Welder. Does anyone know of any good cities to start inquiring about? I want to have enough time to research all possible cities that would be great to live in. Any information would help
thanks

Right now I am living with my family (2 kids, a baby boy and a 9yrs old daughter, and my wife) in SW Florida. The house prices are low, but the area is very boring and the unemployment rate is very high. Nice beaches, but a long drive and who wants to have HOT weather all year long?
Everything is so expensive and there is no job in sight for the people. Therefore I am not selling any of my solar systems (in the sunshine State!).
So we are thinking of moving to Georgia, to a city that has perfect school system, is near an international airport, near nice people, good stores, and where people have the money and are willing to invest in a green future and buy solar systems to save a lot of energy- and electric-money. We would like to move into a nice house, where trees and the beaches, and the big cities are not far away, but where the crime scenes are relaly far away :-).
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much!
My daughter moved to Atlanta Georgia. This was the first time she left home and I was so affraid for her. She is in Fashion but selected a very nice neighborhood to live in. It is a gated neighborhood in Atlanta Georgia in the Amil properties on west paces road. Its going on two years and she was 23 years old. Doing find the community and staff are very friendly. I think no matter where you live or relocate in this world you always going to have you good and bad neighborhoods. No one knows but you can best select and speak on the neighborhood you wish to live in. I think for someone single they need to look at the gated neighborhood that has security with them first when you go to a new State such as Atlanta. People there seems to be very rude but they don’t bother you either. The secret to relocating is be you and if there someone wants to be friendly then be friendly. Never let anyone change you. Remember what you are moving for in the first place. Take time and go to Atlanta view the sites and area and you will surely find your place. My daughter lives down the street from Tyler Perry and other important and brilliant people in the business. So how bad can it be. I have seen a lots of stars there. They are normal people like everyone and they are successful but never rude the ones we were introduce to. Its the ones that wanna be lol. So go to Georgia and be you. Theres a lot of things to enjoy there with your family and friends you have. Who would’nt be glade to go home to piece and quiet after a day in the park. Lots of things going on there. Just remember why you are there. Always be you and check your communities out for yourself. Everyone can give you there opinions but you are the one that can best choose what you want in life and how you determine to live. Also call an agent to set up some places for you or tell them what you desire and looking for. Hey you have nothing to loose. Good luck and enjoy your new venture. Barb
oops I should had check my spelling smiling but you got the message. Please excuse my spelling.
My Husband is a Regional Manager and now has to be relocated to Columbus GA in September 2010. Understanding from some personal research and a very quick drive though the city of Columbus GA is not a very desirable area for us, We are moving from beautiful Pensacola Beach FL where I love and don’t want to move from . We live now in a safe close nit community with the sound of the Gulf of Mexico right out our front door. People are wonderful here, friendly, down to earth. Very low crime at the beach, and Good school system. There is grocery shopping , post office, cleaners, etc. 10 minutes from us, however the good shopping Mall is about 30 min away and about an hour for outlets and such, which is fine since there is so many other pluses about this area, you can see why we really don’t want to leave here. We live approximately 30 minutes from Downtown Pensacola So we are looking for an area near Columbus GA that would not be no more then about a 30 min commute to work. If anyone knows of an area with some of the above characteristics single family home area that we could buy a home in, that is pet friendly please let me know. I am sick about the move, however that’s were his job is taking us.
I am in the same situation as a lot of you. I am a wife and mother of three kids: age range 7-16. I am looking forward to moving to Georgia, but not quite sure where. Of course, I want a safe environment for my kids and school achievement is a must. I would like family entertainment as well mature adult enjoyment. :-)Please advise me of which community/city is the best to raise a family.
Hello, everyone I am the original Georgia Peaches born and raised I would like to welcome all to Savannah, Ga my home town. Those who looking to relocated here should look for apartments on the Sputhside of Savannah. price range $450 and up depending on size. The historical area is the most pricest then the Island such as Tybee and Wilmington. Unless you can afford to pay over $1,000 and up stick with the South side. It’s conventant to the mall and shopping. Also buses run every 30 mins. If anyone need more info just email me at Msmew5@aol.com and i will be glad to answer any questions. Until then God Bless
i am a single mom and looking to move to the georgia area. not sure where yet but considering savannah or peachtree city area. can’t afford a pricey neighborhood, want some place safe and with good schools, friendly people and near things to do. any advice. thanks in advance and god bless you!

I relocated to GA from SC, approximately 18 years ago and I must say that GA is the best place to live……………..IF YOU ARE WHITE. If you are not white I would not recommend you moving here because you will discriminated against in terms of employment, housing, and educational opportunities.

Hi…..I am a divorced mother of three wonderful children who basically is just looking for a change. My children and I currently reside in New Jersey and are looking to make a fresh start somewhere else. We have been mainly looking in the Georgia area but just aren’t really sure what areas are ideal for families. Employment won’t be an issue my main concerns are the safety and education of my children. Does anyone that has lived in Georgia have any suggestions?
http://www.homefacts.com/crime/Georgia/Fulton-County/Atlanta.html
Look at the crime rates for Atlanta. Not looking like the place I’d like to live in Georgia.
I’d go with Savannah or maybe Athens.
I am a single parent . my daughter is 14 and i would like to move to georgia. my older son is in the military over there so since i am unable to find work here in northern california (unemployment rate is very high) he suggested maybe a move somewhere in georgia for a fresh start. what towns would be affordable and crime rate low. oh and not racist. I am mexican american and my son is bi racial.
I am a single mother of three children. I am currently going to school to obtain a bachelors in early childhood education. I also work for Head Start and would like to maintain working for Head Start just in another area. I want affordable housing, good schools, something close to the city and alot of fun activities to do on the weekends. I am black so i would want to live in a diverse community.

Hi Tomaz,
I am not sure when you posted your questions,however, I can offer you some information on California. Please do not stop here. The unemployment is this state is very high, and the state has no money. Have lived here almost 30 years and am flabbergasted by how the State has been treated. There are no jobs in this state. I have family all over but mostly they live in the South. I myself and thinking of moving to Georgia, until I heard about the racism in the state. I liked it until I heard that. I am a happy, educated, woman with a MBA in Business. I loved both California for the sunshine and its interesting people, and Georgia because at one time it was a friendly state. However now, I just know that if I am to be truthful, California is not the place to live. Its a dying community with poverty in the masses. If you can overlook that, southern California is a beautiful place, although pricey, and the Bay area is a relatively wonderful place to live. I would recommend Berkeley, Pinole, Haywood, El Sobrante, parts of San Francisco. Remember you always want to live near a city that provides jobs to the masses. It keeps the communities flowing.
Hi Everyone,
A wonderful way to get an idea what a town is like is to check out the reviews of the schools in that town on Great Schools.net. Here is the link : http://www.greatschools.org/.
The reviews for the schools in my town gives a very accurate picture of what the people are like. I hope this information is helpful to everyone.
I hope you can avoid my experience. I moved to a suburb north of Atlanta where I have been living for 5 years and I am very very unhappy with the town I selected. But since I don’t known anyone in GA well enough to find out which town would be better for my family I have been stuck here. I will move when my children go to college. I hope by then I will find a nice town with some friendly people. I live in a snooty town where the people are like Stepford wives. I may move back to the town I loved in New York .
My suburban town where I live is so unfriendly that downtown Atlanta is a more friendly place in comparison. This move has been my nightmare. I wish I had done some brain storming and found a way to afford to live in the town I loved back in New York City. It breaks my heart that my children have to endure so much racial hostility. I learned that racial diversity in a town does not mean you won’t be in a racist environment. But that is how life is in America in 2010.
I wanted to contribute to this post in the hopes that I could help someone select a better town than I did or skip the move for a better option in a place they know in the area they already live.
I hope everyone will have a better experience than I had. I am sure there are nice towns in Georgia I just did not find it. My experience may be based on the fact that my town is snooty.
I hope God will bless you with the best options.
I am considering retiring in Savannah in a couple of years. PLEASE…….can someone who lives in Savannah and is very familiar with the city and surrounding areas give me some ideas as to what areas are safest. Of course, I love the Historic and Vicgtorian districts, but they are probably too expensive, and not likely the safest. All suggestions welcome. Thanks.
