Hello to the great people of Atlanta! I need your help. I am considering moving to Fairburn, GA for work. I have no idea what the city is like. For those of you familiar with the place, please share your thoughts. Only couple I know in GA live in Alpharetta/JC. Is Fairburn comparable from a population , safety , access to supermarkets , lifestyle perspective?

No, Fairburn is not comparable to Alpharetta. Alpharetta is a very affluent community with higher end everything. Whole foods, nice parks, community events, etc. Fairburn is a relatively poor community with a lot of industrial zoning. There's a big garbage dump there, factories, etc. Go to the crime mapping website I would wager the crime rates and types are extremely different. But Fairburn will be more affordable.

And if it’s so poor, no way would realtors/investors be begging us to sell to them our homes.

I live in Fairburn and it has become congested. Trucks, warehouse, apartments being built has contributed to this problem. Publix is the supermarket here. There are two located here. It’s not bad but it’s not what it used to be. Used to be very peaceful, quiet, with mild traffic. Not so much now bc of the building they are doing.

Not familiar with Fairburn specifically but south side of Atlanta is kinda hit or miss. Any of my friends from that neck of the woods lived in Peachtree City which seems like a little bubble of rich people but might be a area to consider gravitating your search towards as you look around and would put you within commuting distance of Fairburn.

Lifestyle is middle of the road (though you are close to the Renaissance Fair!). Safe-ish for Atlanta. I would recommend it if you work at or near the airport and it's what you can afford. It really depends if you're looking at buying and what your family and commuting situation is like.

I’ve lived in Woodstock for 17 years and I’ve never been there. I would recommend checking it out. That way you will know for yourself. A lot of people like the northern suburbs like Alpharetta. But if you are working in Fairburn you’ll want to be on that side of town. Other places you could check out would be Fayetteville and peachtree city.

Thank you

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.
