    "The people are fun to talk to and get to know in passing. Our community is the place I grew up in so it’s nice to be back home as an adult. East Lake is really special!"

    "Nice houses and people with plenty of parks and trails for walking after dinner. The schools are questionable however. It is close enough to midtown atlanta and shopping is convenient. The closet Costco is less than 30 min "
