Johns Creek, Georgia - 2007 Top 25 Best Places to Live to go to School Winner

Incorporated on December 1, 2006, Johns Creek is named for the body of water that runs through the area. Georgia's tenth-largest city was created out of the entire unincorporated North East Fulton County, which was nothing but farmland only 30 years ago.

Johns Creek is predominately upper-middle class and has some ethnic diversity; for example, the city has a large Asian-American population which is evident in the area's churches and stores. Full service restaurants and higher-end clothing retailers dominate the area's retail market and dominate social activities. With an estimated 50 - 60 thousand residents calling Johns Creek home, it is no wonder that it has quickly found a place in the respected suburbs of Atlanta.

A live-work-play city, Johns Creek harbors communities, which incorporate both Golf and Tennis amenities on a regular basis. Homes in the price range of $500 - $600 thousand are commonplace. Convenience also flourishes here with great shopping and restaurants within a stone's throw.
