    "Very safe and kinda friendly but most folks do keep to themselves or interact with their own family. There is only a very light traffic of homeowners in my subdivision but unfortunately there are no sidewalks or play areas for the kids. Folks walk their dogs in the street. Children play in their own front or back yards it seems. You rarely see or hear them out and they won’t recognize you as a neighbor. This is unfortunate but typical of neighborhoods in this area and in the South."

    "More and more people are living here but the roads are staying the same size since the past 30 years. Traffic can be horrible going to work in the morning, and getting off work, from 4pm to 6pm, forget going anywhere. Depending what part of Athens you’re in, will effect your view on Athens. There’s a poor lifestyle and there’s a wealthy lifestyle to this town. Slowly Athens is updating its lifestyle to fit wealthy families. It sure is a college town, and traffic is much better once the college students are out of town. I’ve lived here my whole life so I know where to go and where not to go. I’ve seen girls/college girls out walking in places they shouldn’t have been walking (out of town ppl don’t know any better) but they think since it’s a college town it’s ok, and that’s where they’re wrong. Overall nice town but way too crowded. "

There’s not a lot of courtesy that gets displayed between residents, it’s in a sketchy part of town, and there have been a few crimes that have occurred here in a short amount of time. Would not recommend raising your children here. Also the public schools are terrible."
