I've been working remotely from Macon-Bibb County for 3 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Decent, getting better with new providers
Coworking spaces: Growing number of options
If you're looking for a place to WFH, Macon-Bibb County is underrated for remote workers.

Check out the Southside area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

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

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Westside and Eastside are perfectly safe.
