Agreed. That's also something to be cognizant for moving down here. You ought to know that being in the city, you're a bit more insulated from that reality. There are a few other areas where it's diverse and the racial mix up/relations are cool, but there are places where ignorance gets the best of people. Valdosta to name one.

Went to med school just down the street from Spellman. Used to eat at their cafeteria sometimes. We were allowed on campus for "recruitment"

I see what you all are implying, but I do not see any of that in Johns Creek. I assume you are talking racism. I do hear areas up in North Forsyth/Cumming area you will see the Confederate flag and that white trash non-sense, but Johns Creek is very diverse. Lots of African Americans, but they have money. It is a very wealthy area - like wealthiest zip code in the state type.
#3 City in the U.S. to live in according to USA Today -
3. Johns Creek, Ga.
> Population: 83,108
> Median home value: $332,700
> Poverty rate: 4.5%
> Pct. with at least a bachelor's degree: 66.9%
> Amenities per 100,000 residents: 629.3
While Georgia generally fares worse than most states in many social and economic measures, Johns Creek residents benefit from high incomes, low poverty, high levels of education, and plenty of amenities. The median annual household income in Johns Creek is nearly $100,000, roughly double the state's median income. Also, the poverty rate of 4.5% is considerably lower than the the national poverty rate of 15.5% and even more so than the state rate of 18.3%. High levels of education among area adults partly explain the high incomes and likely improve the quality of life for the local community in a variety of other ways. Nearly 67% of adults in Johns Creek have at least a bachelor's degree, more than twice the nationwide corresponding education attainment rate and one of the highest of any city.
Johns Creek residents also have access to a remarkable number of leisure activities, especially restaurants. There are around 630 eating locations per 100,000 city residents, the second highest concentration of such amenities in the nation.

Meh. I can believe homie when he says it's diverse up there in Johns Creek. From the sounds of it, wealthy people (regardless of race) are trying to keep it under wraps and nestled away from the lower income people. I'd literally never heard about it until I started working at Emory last fall and one of my coworkers mentioned that she lived up there.

Nobody is keeping it under rap, its more that the "city" was literally created in 2006.

Nah nobody is talking racism what so ever. Johns Creek is one of those towns that just popped up out of the woods, I`d never live there more so because it lacks actual history and culture when it comes to its role in the history of ATL. And the term "diversity" doesnt mean much to me as people tend to call a majority of white people with a sprinkle or other races "diverse". I dont knock anyone who live there but speaking for myself personally I`d never live in any of these recently created communities outside of maybe the Camp Creek area and only because of its proximity to downtown/airport + the land you get for the money. Northern Suburbs offer nothing for me and are far away from everything that matters to me lol.

how is the Charlotte metro area? lol a lot of these people in this thread dont actually live in ATL City Limits, ATL City limits is actually extremely tiny. ATL is a weird beast in that most people dont live in ATL but everything is close to each other people just say they live in ATL to make it easier for non ATL people.

It's a great place to move for millenials. I had posted a comment about my experiences here from the past seven years;starting as an undergrad in college to a young professional in the corporate field. Are you in NYC now?

That's unbelievable. I had a frat bro that moved out to SF as a transfer opportunity from Wells Fargo. He speaks vehemently about his experience, but the cost difference was too substantial for him stay.2 mill in LA depending on the neighborhood

I always think about the possibility of leaving Georgia. Then I read stuff like that and I snap back into reality.
