Good to hear your feedback.
I would look at the school system FIRST. Commute, 2nd.
Do not know your specific situation, so you may or not entertain what I am doing........
SUCKING IT UP WITH TRAFFIC until my boy is out of school. Once that happens, likely I will be selling off my house w/small acreage tract, and extra lot next door, and moving further NORTH in GA. I have entertained So GA, but not familiar with it other than driving thru. I have years to go so it isn't a huge concern at this point.
For sure, its about finding the right mix of land (location) that is close enough to the city but far enough away and having a good school system. We could shell out for private school if we had to, but I'd really prefer not to. The reality is that while we would like to move as soon as possible, we aren't in any huge hurry and can take our time to make the best decision. The question is whether we will ever find that perfect mix of the above. As someone else alluded to above, as Atlanta continues to grow and any remaining land within a reasonable distance to Atlanta becomes more and more scarce (or rather the cost continues to rise), it may not exist and we may have to live with some less than ideal aspects of a the new place.
60 acres within an hour of Atlanta is mighty appealing, though. However this thread has me seriously second guessing Henry County!
