Clayton County, Georgia is a wonderful place to live. I've lived in the county now for about 13 years. Clayton County is only 15-20 minutes from downtown Atlanta and is within close proximity to Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport; in fact, a portion of the airport lies within this county.
The biggest advantage of this county, in my opinion, is its 'affordability'. The property taxes are lower and an individual or family can buy a larger house for less money than its neighboring counties. It's also common to have a house with a good amount of land. There are also many beautiful areas and sights to see.
Unfortunately, reports of crime and low test scores in some of its schools have had a negative impact on the county. My hope is that the school system, city and county officials and the community at large will ban together to fight crime and to improve education so that Clayton County will become a more desirable place in which to live.
As a Realtor, I enjoy selling 'good real estate' - properties that have stood the test of time. Clayton County has some beautiful homes. I've had the privilege to list many homes in Clayton that were of quality construction with beautiful land.
In my mission to save the integrity and property values in Clayton County, I recently coordinated a Special Town Hall Meeting for Realtors. In this meeting, school and county officials gave the vision and plans for the new Clayton County, which will include improved schools, reduced crime, new mixed-use developments and desirable shopping areas. These plans will hopefully begin soon.
Please join me in my mission to save Clayton County and if you are looking to move to South Atlanta, consider Clayton County, the beautiful.
