I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 5.1%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 1.2%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $88,185 in Flowery Branch. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What would you do? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
