Man BGOL is the home of negativity....you really surprised?
Exactly.....its why its so hard to have a decent discussion in here....
Cats go straight to the problems
Exactly. The style is classic Victorian, which is very common going back to the early 90's. In 2020, the current popular style is a more neo mid-century modern style. It's not about size, it's about quality and efficiency.
If you want the cutting edge of what's trending these days, here's an example:

Beautiful home and exactly the type of thing that appeals to me
I get it. I mean, just look at this. North Atlanta High School... in the district where that house was posted. Mind you, this is a HIGH SCHOOL. There are college campuses that couldn't compare.
North Atlanta High School - Cooper Carry
This adaptive reuse design by Cooper Carry converted an 11 story office tower into North Atlanta High School in the urban metro of Atlanta.www.coopercarry.com
Makes sense...schools are funded through property taxes....
You have an area of nice expensive well maintained homes....you SHOULD have schools like these
HOA is usually just supposed to be for the neighborhood amenities like trash removal, community pool upkeep, landscaping in the common areas of the neighborhood, shit like that. They can also come up with, and enforce code. Say if you want to build a fence around your backyard or pool. You cant just build it, you have to approval from the HOA first. Or say you want to paint the house, the HOA has to approve the color. Man it's all kinds of shit, I could keep going...but they long story short is, they can levy fines against your home for violations. If you dont pay the fines, the HOA can take your home.
And thats what makes areas like where the house posted undesirable. Because with the money they're spending, the crime and schools don't equate at all.
I'll believe it when I see it. Nothing good school wise has been done in Dekalb County since they nearly lost their accreditation outside of Dunwoody.Crime stats are actually way better in Lithonia now from the 2019 numbers. The city got an A- on areavibes as far the crime rate. The schools are still way behind though.

The schools still have low ratings. But with Stonecrest becoming a city now there might be a priority to improve the schools. I know the mayor mentioned they were trying to improve them.
That's surprising to me because this white woman I know swears by Dekalb County Schools.....She might just by lying though.
Ummm excuse me!
She in North DeKalb
She's between Memorial and Glenwood, near Candler.
Still off the market.
The West is the best far as traffic and prices.
