Lansing vs Elizabeth — which is better to move to?
My partner and I are deciding between Lansing and Johns Creek for our next move. We care most about:
- Cost of living
- Safety
- Job market (finance)
- Outdoor activities
Anyone who's lived in either or both — which would you choose and why?

Rent tip: look for places in winter. Prices drop and there's more availability.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Downtown. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Don't sleep on Westside. It's up and coming and still affordable.

I'd add that healthcare options are better than most cities this size. Otherwise spot on!
