Look into North Cove ,Highgrove, or Woodcreek subdivisions to start. Very few kids and the few that are their are well behaved.
North Cove is on a small lake. Our summers are very tolerable, some people do stay in between 12-4pm during the worst of the heat, the rest of the day is wonderful. Also once you do move join the New Neighbors club, it is a social club for people who are new to the area. It is a great way to make new friends and get acquainted with the area.

Yes, Fayette County was a strong draw because of good school and low crime.

Consider the following demographic statistics:

Highest Crime in County: Fayette Pavillion

Lowest Elementary School Test Scores: North Fayette

Lowest High School Test Scores: North Fayette

Is the northern part of Fayette County deteriorating faster ?

Yea! North Fayette has actually became South Clayton, if you know what I mean. All good things must come to an end I suppose.

We've been here for nine years and have a home in--you guessed it--North Fayette. (Near the intersection of New Hope and Hwy 92).

When we were looking at the house, the (white) realtor nodded over to the man in the next yard--a black man--and asked me, "Does that bother you?" I said no. In fact, "that" turned out to be Larry, my good neighbor who has remained through these years.

We knew at the time that we were moving into a mixed neighborhood, and we have never come close to regretting it. In fact, the old line of "There goes the neighborhood" (traditionally uttered when blacks begin to move in) should probably be uttered by our black neighbors about US! We have provided shelter to more than a few wandering hippy-types--our own children and friends of our children. The result has been more vehicles than normal, often parked out along the street. Our neighbors--including our black neighbors--have tolerated us all along as they have maintained their own property in an exemplary way.

It is disconcerting to me to hear that property values may begin to decline here because of a "change in demographics." This can be a self-fulfilled prophecy: one group devalues an area because another group begins to move in, with the result that the market is driven down.

I recognize that Clayton County has problems. There are districts that I just don't like (where Title Pawn places, etc., abound). And I would hate to see my area begin to take on those characteristics. But, given my own experience with my excellent neighbors, I suspect that the explanation is more complex than skin color.
