Best and worst neighborhoods in Roswell

Been living here since 2013. Poverty rate is 20.5%, which is higher than I expected. Crime rate is something to consider -Roswell sits at 849.9 per 100K. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. What neighborhoods would you suggest?
