I have lived in Georgia my whole life..Northside of Atlanta means traffic but more places to shop, eat, and things to do. Southside means much less traffic, and still plenty of places to eat. PTC has the best schools. Newnan is great and only 30 minutes to the airport. I would avoid Fayetteville.

I didnt get as warm a fuzzy about the schools as I did further South. Not saying they are bad, its still Fayette County.
Truthfully, best advice I can give is drive around and see what vibe you like. Did a lot of research and thought I knew where we would live. Once we actually drove around we completely changed our minds.
On avoiding Fayetteville keep in mind all houses in unincorporated Fayette County (ie not in city limits) have a Fayetteville address. So its a large geographic area. Many of the communities along Redwine road have Fayetteville addresses. As does Stars Mills HS for that matter.

Wife is the one holding the fort. I gave mine the controlling vote.
I like ptc living, but it aint for everyone. North side seems more expensive. But a lot cheaper than divorce.
