I’ve lived in Dacula for the past 12 years, I wouldn’t call it affordable. Maybe five years ago it would’ve been, but in the past few years property values have skyrocketed.
Wow! I was merely THINKING about this being the place I want to move to next (never said it aloud, never typed it), and an hour later I get on TH-cam and see this video...
This sounds like a great place to live. I used to live in Lawrenceville and I loved it. Dacula, I am sure, is a wonderfully beautiful and peaceful town to live in. Peace is priceless.
Healthcare is a must for choosing a retirement city. Looking at infrastructure and how easy it is to get around. Walkability, protected bike lanes, parks greenways, general safety are all keys to a good retirement place.
I,will be Retiring in 2 Years,and I am trying to find out,because I do not drive,what is the Public Transportation,like in Gwinnett County,and in Paticular,Dacula?.(Peace).
This is a great video. I didn't know about Dacula, GA. Can you make a video on Douglasville, GA? It also seems to be a great place to live for African Americans. African Americans are at 62% in Douglasville, GA. The mayor, police chief, and other official offices are African American. African Americans are controlling most things in Douglassville. Douglassville is growing.Tyler Perry has built his home there, there is a new amphitheater and a resort. There are plans to update the downtown areas with more businesses and shops. There are over 100 new businesses in Douglasville and new home construction is happening. Chapel Hill is a premier established golf club community in Douglasville. The schools are good. I have been researching the area and may possibly retire there in about 3 years from Los Angeles, California. I have a friend who lives in Douglassville. I love your videos and you would be the best to make a video about Douglasville. I would like to see more info on Douglasville, GA. Thank you for your many great videos!
Unless you are retired, WFH, or working very close by, you DO NOT want to move to Dacula, you will be cursing every day dealing with traffic, it's probably one of the longest and worst commutes if you are working anywhere outside of the area, and a commute from Dacula to downtown Atl could be anywhere from an hour to two hours or longer (one way) based on traffic, accidents, rain etc. Please talk to someone who actually lives in the Atlanta area currently, or a true native who has the latest info on demographics, housing cost, crime, and school info so you can make the best decision prior to moving somewhere here. A whole lot has changed not only in the Atlanta area but also the suburbs just like any other major city.
I live in Dacula. It is a great place to live. But, it’s not that affordable anymore. Dacula and Gwinnett is being mispronounced several times in the video.
This is a very informative platform. I always enjoy watching the videos about the Black Community in such a POSITIVE way...Great Job and thankyou for your Knowledge.😊
I'm a retired, single AA woman, looking to purchase my forever home. Your content seems to focus on AA couples. Any recommendations for retired AA females? I'd be relocating from Southern California.
Thank you for that question regarding singles. I too am looking for a diverse retirement community where there are singles. This channel had a wealth of information. Thank you.
I am a widower 62 and have several relatives living in lawrenceville & douglasville GA. I am looking for a place to retire to from NJ. Hopefully we can meet in retirement there😁
Totally agree because this is what gets us in trouble; not having anything to leverage. We talk too much, out in the open so much so that others know what we're doing.
Awesome Video! I have two more years until I can retire as an educator “30” years! 🙏🏽🔥❤️. The video is very helpful! Thank you “BE” keep up the good work! I love this channel! 💯
Financial planning is like navigation. If you know where you are and where you want to go, navigation isn't such a great problem. It's when you don't know the two points that it's difficult
Creating a video to guide Black Americans on ideal retirement locations is commendable, offering valuable insights. However, even in choosing a place to retire, the guidance of a financial advisor remains crucial to ensure a secure and well-planned financial future.
Wow! I tune in to see where this Mecca is only to find out it's where I already am! I've been here for about 12 years and have definitely seen the growth. It's a great, diverse area and I've had no complaints here!
Wow. That’s incredible 😁 Any disadvantages. I hear that the main artery there can get clogged up during commute hours. Question… when shopping or navigating around town does it truly feel like a diverse community?
Definitely sounds interesting. You mentioned Black _couples_ multiple times. I'd love to know if Dacula would be a good place for single retirees to go. I am still a few years away from retiring, but am looking to "get my ducks in a row" now.
Great video thanks so much. The noted multiple, multiple, consistently the that Dacula is ideal for AA COUPLES. Does this mean its not a viable option for AA single women Or men to retire to? Also I wish there was a mention of worship options.
It may be a little slow for Singles but with ATL around the corner I can imagine that it would be a viable option for Singles. But we suggest your own individual due diligence.
Dacula sounds like a great place, just like Atlanta did back in the day but, they're both in Georgia. If I have to go to the south in order to find a nice place to retire that has friendly people, affordable living, great climate, cultural activities, etc, I think I'll go way down south and do what Howling Wolf said: "Head on down to Mexico".
I prefer to west metro area like Lithia Springs, Villa Rica, Carrollton. Much less populated with almost a semi-rural feeling. Bough in Villa Rica but wish I had gone further like Bremen or Tallapoosa
wow this is great, although I am a few years from retirement, I now know Dacula is on my first choice, and although I live in high rent NYC, midnite train to Georgia will lay my head to rest
Being a mecca for black folks to retire ,I tend to not agree on this one. If you're planning on traveling via Hartsfield Jackson Airport , good luck with traffic. Going for dinner or a play or Falcons game in downtown ATL, you might as well plan on overnight staying at a hotel or friend for the night.Housing cost in Dacula is at an all time high. Lake Lanier"'s haunting history with black folks is just too close for me. Powder Spring. Dallas ,Peachtree City,Newnan ,South Fulton or even Douglasville, where Tyler Perry's just built his new home are all viable options with a small town vibe, but still offers you easy access to amenities of city living and a round of golf all in a day" s retirement.
No doubt being financially free cannot be overemphasized, hearing these numbers make me feel some kind of way o, making smart plans and setting up diversified investment portfolios is quite essential.
I’d like a clarification if you can. At the beginning of the video there was a graphic that said Dacula was 47% African-American. I did a look up on Google and it said the white population was 45.3% and the black population was 25%. Is there an explanation between the data that seems to be so off between the two sources? Thanks in advance.

@@Millah323 the property values and the cost of living has increased based on the market and scarcity!!! Houses are very expensive and there are not enough land assets and a decent price to build!!!
Same thoughts. ATL is demonic and I've never lived there. The ppl are fake and materialistic (50K millionaires). While looking on Zillow to buy homes.... you'll see homes w/ little to nill furniture. Living above your needs. Scammers and fake churches and the homo's /AIDS. I aint coming. Sorry if this hurts.
I don't mind Dacula, but I don't like Gwinnett county. Extremely congested. I prefer NW of Atlanta...We live in Cherokee. It's not a lot of us, but it's beautiful and safe. Lol...I apologize for totally going in a different direction from this video, but Gwinnett is just overrated.
@jeffwilson8246 DMV overall more expensive but it's also worth it compared to the diversity around you and the jobs makes up the difference so you living the exact same. Plus much better retirement.

One of my friends bought a house in Dacula about 10 years ago. She is sitting on a gold mine now.

Not true at all

Thank you for your input and personal experience
Anything around atl is way too expensive.....
Yeah but that's not unique to Dacula, that's everywhere.
I live in Auburn, GA, on the Gwinnett side, so I am between Dacula and Winder. The location is great! They are building like crazy.
Thk you so much for chiming in 🙏🏽

What is the diversity like in Lawrenceville?
Looks gorgeous! Thank you for highlighting this fabulous community!!!
Very very welcome 🙏🏽
I may have missed it, but I didn't hear a lot about the Dacula Healthcare system and that is a priority for me ad I also care for my senior aunt.

Seems like an amazing city. However, you would have to change the name of the city for me to move there. Dacula is one letter short of Dracula.
😂 true
They're trying to lure unsuspecting black folks to the vampire's lair. Ain't no way in hell I'd move there.
LOVE Dacula! I have some cousins who live in Hamilton Mill. I always enjoy myself when I visit them.
That’s awesome. Thx for sharing 🙏🏽

Can you do an ideal place for singles over 50? The family aspect might make us single ladies feel a bit excluded.
I am not too far from retirement. Let me take a visit. 🎉🎉
The kids can come too with the grands.

Close to ATL
Dacula is not close to Atlanta at all, well over an hour in normal traffic, not rush hour, far from everything.
Excuse me while I talk with my hubby about this....
💚
but what about health care? access to good doctors and hospitals? that is the main thing for a retiree.
Look at the video
Some things are better left unsaid.
Sounds good
Looks like the Beverly hills of the south.
💯
noooo south Atlanta
Where is the nearest hospital?
Northside Lawrenceville GA-316/GA-120
Video needs to be updated

Can you get all of the 13% to move there
With your type of name you should worry about moving all your people back to that island or Orlando. Preferably back to that island though.
Can we get all you to move out of Massachusetts and back to that corrupt island state? Blacks we're doing just fine here
That would be the true Wakanda that you and your kind fear
Dacula is not much different than any other Atlanta middle class suburbs. Y'all please stay away, it's full.
😊
yeah just check proiess lowest 290,000 and the only proerty under 300000
For retirement ideally want to be in an area with low cost of living.
I will still rather live in the DMV over the ATL because of its diversity and better jobs.
Isn't it much more expensive in the dmv
@jeffwilson8246 DMV overall more expensive but it's also worth it compared to the diversity around you and the jobs makes up the difference so you living the exact same. Plus much better retirement.
Only difference in job options is more government jobs IN the DMV, outside of that same jobs in metro ATL
This post is not factually correct. Please check census records for most update demographics.

Duly noted
Would a bi-racial family/senior couple be accepted here?
