Hi all,

The opportunity has arisen for us to relocate to GA. We want to be within an hour +/- drive from Atlanta. Prefer less dense neighborhoods/ smaller communities.

We have a few requirements:

1) excellent public schools
2) diverse, welcoming community. Small town feel.
3) homes with over one acre of land (we need space)
4) strong sports programs (i have 3 boys, and we are looking for strong football, wrestling, and year round competitive club swim teams)


we would be moving down from a suburb of New York City. we would like to be in a liberal-leaning type of environment.

Our research has only just begun and welcome all helpful insights and ideas.

Thank you!

Based on your criteria I would recommend Athens. It's a college town (U of Georgia) an hour northeast of Atlanta, and also has that small town feel you're looking for as well as the others you mentioned. https://www.visitathensga.com/

I recommend posting this in the Atlanta Forum (It is Metro Atlanta), instead of the general Georgia forum.

You will get more, and more targeted, responses for what you are looking for.

The schools within the city limits of Athens are across the board better as that's where the majority of progressive residents reside, including educators/administration at the university.
