Longtime lurker here, I relocated for work and The median home value here is around $249,200, which is actually reasonable. With a population of 16,609, Fairburn is a small town. The suburbs are where most families end up. Am I wrong here? Cheers.

I've lived in Greenfield for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Four distinct seasons
- The traffic scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

As someone who grew up here, I love the pace of life here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. nightlife used to be much growing but now it's tough.
