Are you a family that enjoys outdoor activities, or do you prefer quieter, more introverted environments? These are just a few considerations. Luckily, we have many great schools in the areas surrounding Atlanta, as well as homeschool co-ops if that interests you.
Currently I commute out of the South Florida to the Northeast. So an hour commute wouldn’t be a concern. One of the concerns would be while on Short Call Reserve to be close enough to make it to ATL for the report time. That’s a consideration factor of where to live.
There is no preference over North or South Atlanta. Both my wife and I are unfamiliar with the area except for College Park is where they chop cars.
We enjoy the outdoors, running on trails, cycling (Road and Gravel), fishing, and playgrounds for kids. Schools are important, but we also want to live somewhere where there are activities to do, restaurants, stores and is an enjoyable place to live.
