Moving to Atlanta, Dunwoody /Alpharetta best options?

mom2ria · Apr 10, 2009

Hi all

Its been a while , I posted something here. I am totally overwhelmed by my husband's decision to move! Sometimes I feel ,it must be for good. I have a daughter who will turn 3 this June.
I was actually gathering details on her school,classes ,making friends etc etc and getting settled here and then here comes a new bolt!!

Well, anyways since its a done deal, now I've to start the research from the scratch. DH says he would like to live in Dunwoody. Although I've heard of a lot of Indians in Alpharreta and good schools ,he said its too crowded and lot of traffic.
So please can any of you friends out there tell me the best options if we are going to live in Dunwoody.

Are there good Indian communities here
Is it a safe community
Which is the best school ,private/Montessori around
How about extracuricular activities around the area, is it easy to find like dance/music/kumon etc
good libraries/parks around?
Also is it difficult to drive out from here(the traffic)

Thanks in advance
God Bless!

Hi Mom2ria !
Welcome to atlanta !
Dunwoody is a nice area to stay. It has all the shops close by and there is a huge mall in Dunwoody too.
As your hubby says alpharetta is little crowded - as long as you hubby has a job in alpharetta it might look good, but if he has to travel somewhr else, it will be horrible.

I dont know about schools and stuff for kids( we are still newly wed ) .

I have heard there are lot of indian communities, although i dont know the location or names.

Need some help with searching apt for rent which is safe and secure. My husband will be working in George Busbee Parkway NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144. I prefer a location with Indians around , good neighborhood.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.....Please

Thanks in advance.

Hey Sarkanth we also moved just now.. A visit to the Indian store and the walmart proved that there are lot of Indians here.. We are moving to Post Crossing which is just next to the Walmart.. Damn good apartment must say.. Though I am pretty new there are other in the forum who have been living here for more than a year or so.. We also checked Jefferson at Perimeter and other apartments. I have shared the feedback in other forum.. You might want to check
