If you're moving to Atlanta and unfamiliar with the city, this video is for you! In this video, I compare living on the NORTH side vs living on the SOUTH side and the pros and cons of each.
@@LivinginAtlanta I live in the suburbs of Northeast Atlanta of Gwinnett. The reason I'm saying this is because there are stark differences between north and south Atlanta. You have the elite upper class in midtown who are educated and racially diverse. And then you have places like College Park and Clayton County to the south where it's majority black and lower class. It's unfortunate but no one's willing to talk about it
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is on the Southside of town. I live in California, but own property in Stone Mountain. It's a beautiful area and will probably move back when I retire, but for now, I'll probably stay in California.
@@LivinginAtlanta I live in a real starter house 4 bedrm and 2 small 1800 sqft and the house is worth between $850k to 900k. Great when you're selling to retire though
Hey Anthony. Very informative video, thank you. Do you have any videos on the best Gated Communities; no luck in finding that particular kind of video. Need to know before my move in 22 or 23.
We live in NJ and looking to move in Atlanta in couple of years for retirement life 😊I heard in Forsyth county seniors don’t have to pay school taxes and I wonder which other counties forgive school taxes, please let me know 🙏
Cobb and Forsyth counties are the very best in terms of tax breaks for seniors. You can't go wrong in either of those areas. Call me when the time is right or if I can help in any way. 678-918-1340
Do you enjoy racism? You do realize Forsyth county is the most racist County in Georgia hands down. Oprah even visited and made a story on Forsyth County. I'm from Gwinnett (neighboring county) and I'm almost 50. I have also lived 360 Degrees around I-285. If you're really trying to enjoy your retirement may I suggest cities like Buford, Suwanee, or Duluth in Gwinnett. You don't have to be super-rich to live among these people even though there are plenty of celebrities around you. You will also be able to find something in your price range I'm more than sure. Gwinnett and Fulton County Neighborhoods tend to Gate such Communities. But keep in mind you don't want to be too far from Atlanta. Because the traffic here is definitely insane 😂. North Fulton is Beautiful. Alpharetta, Roswell are very close to Forsyth just incase you just have to be close to "those people". But what ever the case.... Good Luck and Stay Safe 😊
@@laryanryan9170 Your Roads Are Horrible!!!! Unless You're On A State Road.... Forget About It. Either Your Politicians Or Your Transportation Department Is Ripping You Off. smh 😌 Y'all Should Really Look Into That.
Hi. We currently live in north Atlanta, but are considering a move to south Atlanta to buy a new construction home. The ONLY reason that we are considering the move is because of the large square footage we can get for our money in south Atlanta. We are looking at homes in the high 500s to low 600s and can get approx 3700-3900 square feet in the Stockbridge/McDonough area. We could not come close to that square footage for the price in north Atlanta. However. our hesitation stems around a concern that we will miss the "feel" of the north side. If we pursue moving to south Atlanta for the larger home, is this a sound decision? Also, we like the results/shopping & dining experience of a balanced racial mix. Will the move to an area that is 70-75% black be that different? Please share your thoughts. Thanks.
Hey! Thanks for watching and for your feedback! This would be much easier to answer on a quick 5-10 call. Send me a text or call anytime and lets talk through this bc I do have a lot of thoughts on your question. Hope to hear from you soon! Anthony 678-918-1340
Hey Trish! It may be easier to jump on a zoom call this week and talk through your questions. Text me your email and a good day/time this week and lets talk through your plans. 678-918-1340 I'll send you a meeting invite.
I will be relocating in October to Henry county. Any recommendations on good areas that are within a 25 min commute to Piedmont Henry Hospital? Thanks for all the informative videos, appreciate it all.
I value my life too much to live ITP. The crime has gotten ridiculous in there. The rents and mortgages are high all over Atlanta metro bc of the overall demand moving here, not just ITP. The actual real data show a mass exodus of ITP for OTP. People are finally coming to their senses that it's not worth it to live ITP with the skyrocketing prices, crime and shitty schools.
@@LivinginAtlanta - That must be why it's so hard to find anyone to rent a place in Midtown -snark-. Seriously. The walkability and amenities FAR outweigh the temporary slight uptick in crime that is still WAY down from even the 90s. I value my life FAR too much to waste it sitting in Marietta traffic when I can walk and bike to everything I need here in civilization.
@@TommyJonesProductions Fair enough. To each his own. I respect that. Overall, Atlanta is fucking awesome. ITP and OTP. This area has so much to offer and has something for every personality type. I also own a Nutrition store in Ansley Mall (Discount Nutrition...shameless plug) across from Piedmont Park so I'm no stranger to Midtown, DT and OTP. Been at that location now for 5yrs. Anywho....thanks for watching and your comments and its always nice to hear from someone benefitting from other parts of the city different than I prefer.
The criminals are driving to Walton County and up 75, one big time developer was killed in his Mercedes in a CVS parking lot , when robbed at gunpoint while his wife was inside the store . The guy drove all the way to a nice area to kill someone , a guy from Dekalb yesterday killed a 79 year old woman in a gated community of Buckhead , he stabbed her a number of times and drive her car around , only to ditch it in Dekalb. So the criminals have gotten braver and venturing North West , South and East.

I moved to Marietta in June 2020, from Massachusetts, and I must say, this content is wicked helpful! New sub !
Awesome!! Thank you for this feedback! Hopefully you're loving Marietta and the Square as much as I do.
Vote red or move back
Anthony, great information as usual. You hit the nail on the head, love living in Newnan. Thanks!
Thank you! I'll be filming in Newnan this week! Love that downtown area so much!
That’s amazing! Hope to see you around.
NEWNAN IS NOT ATLANTA
Newman ? You can have it.
New subscriber here, what about EAST and WEST of Atlanta home prices?
It's on my to-do list!
It will be great if you can make a video about good areas for rental investment in Atlanta. Thanks for the great videos you share!
You got it....it's been added to the list!
@@LivinginAtlanta Will look forward to it!
The dichotomy been North Atlanta and South Atlanta is, quite literally, a modern depiction of segregation
Do you live in Atlanta? If so, what part? Because this is not accurate at all and it sounds like you're not familiar with the city.

Not true… I’m a New Yorker, purchased a home in North Atlanta and it’s very diverse. Not segregated what so ever.
there's a reason the Southside is cheaper....You get what you pay for....
Truth!
Which is?
@@TheMobileNest north is more expensive for a reason….
Lifestyle is most important to me too. I can't stand even a small amount of traffic. I homeschool and we do hvac. Southside sounds more for us.
Yeah, sounds like you'd be much more comfortable on the South side vs the North.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is on the Southside of town. I live in California, but own property in Stone Mountain. It's a beautiful area and will probably move back when I retire, but for now, I'll probably stay in California.
I'm sitting at the airport as we speak 😁
When you're coming from California it all sounds inexpensive
For real! The prices you guys pay out west is a travesty. Then the taxes on top if all that are ...😳

Thanks for all the informative videos, appreciate it all.
Check out Stockbridge (where the hospital is located) Jonesborough and McDonough
I live in McDonough. McDonough and Locust Grove are nice spots to live, but Mcdonough is starting to get more crowded.
Did you get moved yet? Is there anything I can help with?
Efe and I was just talking about this last night , we've been asked are we moving North or South we had no clue.
You guys are actually on the West side of town....that's another video all together East vs West!
South side of Atlanta = Detroit
LOL....but let's be clear...South Side ITP = Detroit
That’s not true there are nice areas Peachtree City, Tyrone, Fairburn. You sound a bit should I say it???
@@rozymartin6975 I’m taking about ITP - those cities are not Atlanta you country dweller
😄😄😄😄
@rozymartin they're talking about Southside itp. You're talking about South otp. Different.
I’m moving to Atlanta in April. Can I have a copy of your map? It will be really helpful!
Same I need that same map.
Email me at anthonyllaborde@gmail.com
I’m relocating soon with my family and I’m stuck between Columbus and Newman. Can you give some insight on differences?
Oh yeah, these are two VERY different communities. How about we jump on a zoom call to talk through the details. Call or text me at 678-918-1340
im from columbus dont go lol its a warzone rn.
@@lookitzjay2723 thank you. I don’t want to leave one ear one only to go to another. I’m sure ours is worse but, hard pass. Thank you.
@@LivinginAtlanta I sure will. Soon as I’m able to get coverage at the hospital. Long hrs and days. Nonstop for 3wks
@@tanitiawatson1497 yeah if you decide to still go north Columbus is the best place to move💯 nice suburbs no crime and cheap but anywhere else🥴
There is nowhere OTP I would want to live. There is a reason rents/mortgages are so expensive in the city: demand.

Why would "diversity" 😕 be a factor at all?
Because most of my clients, and most people I talk to want to live in a diverse community. Why would you not want to be around diversity ?
