Getting around is simple thanks to Interstate 75 and major thoroughfares running right through the area. Neighborhoods are generally quiet and established, with relatively affordable housing compared to much of metro Atlanta. Local families are part of the Clayton County Public Schools system, and the city puts on seasonal events and markets throughout the year that bring neighbors together. It makes for an easy, practical base on the Southside.
