Okay so lets be real. There some questions that need to be asked.
How are the schools in that area?
What is the resale of that area?
Median income is high or low?
How close am I to the city center and my work?
Traffic?
So in Atlanta, The majority of the good jobs, good schools and good shops are above Hwy 78 in the perimeter. Midtown, Buckhead, and across North Cobb, North Fulton, North Dekalb, Gwinnett, and close to Lake Lanier. Shit is almost a virtual line. Peachtree city area is an exception but only because of the Airport. Search Zillow. There are literally 10 homes with 2 bedrooms around $100, 000 above hwy 78. While below Hwy 78..............................too many to count.
There are little pockets of stuff in the south ATL metro that is decent but the real money is north. You buy a house outside of that zone and most likely you are taking a risk. The risk is you become Clayton county and lose your accreditation. You become Henry and Rockdale county and have a abundance of section 8 housing become available because of the housing bubble. South Dekalb, South Cobb and South Fulton is a victim of simply being suburban areas in decline.
All of the real skilled jobs are in the Northern half of the ATL metro with Porsche, the airport, and maybe Amazon being the pockets of real skill labor. The rest is transportation or warehouse jobs that simply are low paying compared to IT jobs that pay an average of $75,000.
Do the same in your area?
