Curious what people think. Been living here since 2008. Median household income is $121,505, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. With a population of 5,353, Senoia is a small town. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Anyone in a similar situation? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Lakewood. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in legal. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Lakewood. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in consulting. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Came here for retirement and stayed because it's been a really good experience overall. The nightlife is honestly excellent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Bought a house here in 2016 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
