Someone above recommended Macon. I do NOT recommend Macon.
we live there right now (due to wife’s job). We are out of here as soon as she retires from military.
the public schools stink. There aren’t many good restaurants. There aren’t a lot of clubs/activities for our young kid. It’s 1:05 to the parking lot with Zero traffic, but I’ve also had it take 2:00.
No thanks

If you like the Woodlands, don't rule out Peachtree City. The Northside of Atlanta has better food, activities, and overall quality of people. Traffic is horrible on the northside. On the Southside, Peachtree City or Brooks. Stay away from Newnan, it's going downhill fast.

PTC is great for young families. Safe, good schools, a lot of youth activities. Alpharetta has a lot more to do for fun and you're close to the north GA mountains & lakes. Yes, traffic.

Second Alpharetta and N GA area. If looking to be closer to outdoor life (Lanier Lanier and mountains), Cumming has seen steady growth in the last 15 years and insane growth in last 3. Lot of potential upside for return, great schools, and likely better priced homes compared to Alpharetta. Like all others have said though, the drive.... When my dad was flying for Delta (pre covid), normally it would be about 0:50. As of late, during non rush hour times, it seems 1:20-30.
It sounds like you plan to move more than once (since you'll be renting), so I'd recommend somewhere being closer to airport that has more yoing professional things to do (Virginia Highlands, midtown, etc). But if settling down with family, gworing up in Cumming as a kid was great.

Monroe County has benefitted (dubiously) from the idiocy of Bibb.
