Marietta is pretty far from Hapeville, and Duluth is even farther. Unless you don't mind being on the road for an hour+traffic. There are basically two parts to Marietta: East cobb and west cobb. Getting a home for 200k in east cobb is 100% impossible. But west cobb is a lot cheaper, but i'm not sure what kind of home you can get for 200k. I'm not sure about Duluth either, but my uncle lives there and the houses there are getting pretty expensive as well.

I'm guessing you are moving by yourself? If you're by yourself, i'd suggest living in downtown. It may not be a "nice" area, but you're commute will not be more than 20 minutes either way, because you will be going against the traffic. Idk, commute time played a big factor when we moved here as well. We were thinking of moving into the same areas you are looking at: marietta and duluth/alpharetta. But we ended up choosing marietta because it cut our commute time in half (a warehouse on Fulton Industrial/I-20 West). We saved a lot of time and money.

Plus, you can be big pimpin in those new condos they got going for like 180k or around that ballpark...or Atlantic Station. But city taxes FTL.

Yes sir they are. But that would be a hell of a drive to the airport each morning.

Shit, me getting a job in Austell seems like a far drive.

200k wont get you that in the areas you listed.

[HalfBaked]

200k will get him a nice house in the Marietta/Kennesaw area.

200k wont get you that in the areas you listed.


Since when will $200k not buy you a nice house in Marietta?

[Doppelgänger]

i've been living in gwinnett since i moved here from fl back in 90'. Some places of g-nett are nice, a lot aren't :( Duluth isnt too bad really, thats where i am now. But fuck a drive to atlanta or further everyday :( My job is hiring lol If you don't mind being a sales person selling cisco/sun/ibm equipment.

[bluuuurr]

try henry county.. stockbridge/mcdonough/ellenwood about 25 min south of atlanta.. a nice "burb"

[Stormhammer]

well if you REALLY don't mind the drive, Hoschton/Braselton has NICE and pretty large houses for cheap ( around the 200k mark ) at the given moment ( looking into moving up there while the deals are still good - I'll cope with all that driving for knowing I scored a deal on a house and some property that will only increase in value )

but thats way too far out to begin with

[Hulud]

by nice house you mean shanty, then yes

[Hulud]

[GIXXERDK]

+1


200K bought you a nice house in a nice area YEARS AGO. Welcome to 2007

[HalfBaked]

by nice house you mean shanty, then yes
I'm not talking like downtown Marietta.

Like areas around North Cobb, McEachern, Harrison, or Kell high schools you can get a nice house for around 200k.

[2005bluesti]

anyone else and there are homes in marietta for 200 and are not shantys lol also where do all the subies meet?

[Stormhammer]

^^ Varsity in downtown Atlanta tonight :D actually alot of IA will be there

[2.0civic]

since when can you not get a nice house in duluth for 200k either?? LIRL, not ALL of duluth is sugarloaf CC.....

[Stormhammer]

^^ agreed - Lawrenceville, Suwanee, and Buford are also good area's to look into around Duluth
