My MIL moved out there to be closer to us (from out of state), but eventually moved ITP since we never saw her. We love City of Decatur and the schools here for our kids.

If you like doing city things (going out, dining at more than a handful of restaurants, shopping, frequent travel that requires airport access, etc…) you will not like it. It’s a suburb and close to the lake, but like most suburbs you trade having easy access to things to do for a cheaper home and relatively boring surroundings (and sometimes better schools for the kids) . Some people love that. I would hate it. The commute to the city is also an hour plus, so if you need to come into Atlanta for work, that is a long commute.

There are no Job opportunities in Buford unless you want to work at Mall of GA. Living out in the far suburbs, they are boring, but safe. Not much to do besides parks for the kiddos. However you would get a better priced house in Buford than ITP. Now in terms of schools, Buford has great schools. Buford since it has mall of GA has more activities to do than a lot of other suburban towns. There a bunch of shops and restaurants around the general mall area.
