Hi Paula,
I was born and raised in Georgia. I went to elementary, high school and college in Decatur. I have a sister that lives in Lithonia and she loves it. Needless to say, I have nothing but positive information to offer.
For your teenage daughters, Martin Luther King, Jr High School is one of the better high schools Lithonia has to offer. Panola Rd is one of the main streets in Lithonia that connects you to mall shopping, restaurants, grocery & department stores, gas stations, church's, schools, etc. Lithonia is about 20-30 minutes east of Downtown Atlanta. FYI, most of the suburb living is a 30-45 minute commute. Some a lot longer.
In short, Lithonia is just like any other city. It has it's positive and it's negative.
If you require any assistance or need more information pertaining to your question and needs, please don't hesitate to contact me .
Good luck with finding your safety net for your family,
