I'm down in the Columbus area, but for a couple acres you're definitely looking at outside the metro Atlanta area. I've looked at some house prices and Newnan isn't too bad, but it was all smaller lots that I saw. Gun ownership it's whatever you want, the most you have to watch for are the few places you can't carry a weapon, all a business can do is ask you to leave if they don't want firearms there.

Peachtree City is great if you have kids. Otherwise it sucks. I grew up in PTC.
Tyrone/Newnan/Senoia/Sharpsburg are all not bad. It’s where the people live who can’t afford or don’t want to afford Peachtree City. S/SW of the airport, most anything in Fayette or Coweta county will be fine. Clayton county would suck. Henry county might be worthwhile... My family still lives in PTC, but I haven’t lived there since 1999. I left the Atlanta area in late 2003. You want to heavily consider where you work when determining where you live, otherwise you’ll really be living in your car [in traffic]. You should reference city-data.com or whatever that website is. You will need $$ to get a couple acres or more in Fayette or Coweta. You might have to go further out to get land at tolerable prices. That will = longer commute. |

If I had to go back to the Atlanta area, I would definitely prefer west Fayette County (Peachtree City) or Coweta County. A lot of Delta Airlines folks seem to live in the Peachtree City area.

It has Extorris in it.
That's about all I really know about it. And plus they say "pellow" instead of "pillow," and "melk" instead of "milk." So there's that. |

I love it here. 4 hours to the beach, little over an hour to the mountains....
Lots of small towns...but you can be in Atlanta in just a little while. What are you looking for OP? Rich and vibrant culture and nightlife or small town USA....both are within range of the Hartsfield airport. |

If you want to get out of the metro area and don't mind a little longer commute. Check out Butts, Lamar,
Pike, Troup or Meriwether counties. |

I live an hour and a half from the airport. There is a shitload of flight crew that live here. They take a shuttle from the local Waffle House (no shit) to the airport, the damn thing runs like 19 times a day.
Good schools...low crime....nice homes....families. If you need the vibrant culture of Atlanta it isn't far away but it is far enough away to generally prevent your shit from being stolen. |

He is right. Summers are fucking hot and humid. Winters are mild, spring and fall are real seasons and are nice.
I am 59 and I love it here. Gulf coast in 7 hours, Atlantic coast in 4 or 5 depending where you like to go. Mountains are closer than the ocean. Gun laws very similar to Utah, you can carry your shit almost anywhere with a Weapons Carry License. |

I am near Jackson Lake on the Jasper County side and it is a 1 hour ride if I leave at 6:30 am. Smallest tract of property on my road is 4 acres.
If I worked at the airport, I would look at Henry County east of I-75 and north of GA 20. East Lake Rd area towards GA 20 and then out GA 20 to no further than than GA 212. Bonus being the South River Gun Club is in the area. |

Henry, Clayton, Fayette, Dekalb, Douglas, and Fulton counties (except the Buckhead and north Fulton areas of Fulton county are bad, Buckhead is the super rich part of Fulton county) are bad. If I had to work at the airport I would be looking at south Coweta, Heard, Carroll, Paulding, and west Cobb counties. It will be less crime ridden, and cheaper. |

Utah has lots of rocks to shoot. Georgia has very few if you can even find them....
Lived and worked in Georgia all my life. Got transferred to Utah for a year in 2013. Other than the cold ass winters, I'd take Utah over Georgia any day. But I stay here because of family obligations, work, etc..... Actually, I wouldnt mind having a place in both states. Stay in Georgia during the winters and Utah during the summers.....in other words.....get both |

If you want a couple acres, you're going to have to get the F out of the metro. I live out in Walton county, but that's probably not the direction you want to be going if you're working at the airport. Maybe look into Griffin or something else further south of the airport. If you are within 20 miles of the city, you had better be in Decatur/Avondale or just accept hood life. You're looking at a good 45 minute commute if you want land and neighbors who aren't ghetto.
Other than the filth that is Metro Atl, Georgia is great. Gun laws great. Hunting great. People are great. Just need to get the F away from the city if you want to live there. My commute is 1hr w/o traffic. It's worth it. |

Well the wife and I are going to have to fly out in the spring and start looking around. A move wouldn't happen until summer at the earliest.
We've been in Utah nearly 2 decades, but we're not really attached to it. Not being Mormon plays a little into that. I really want to get out of the suburbs. At least the suburbs where the biggest lot is .25 acre. |
