I am a long time resident of Cumming. We moved up here in 1975. Hwy 400 was only open to hwy 20. I tell everyone not to move to Cumming. Too many people, too many homes and way too much traffic. However, I must differ with you on the Indian Seats. I grew up on those rocks. You can not see Atlanta from them as they are on the opposite side of the mountain from Atlanta. There are lots and lots of Latinos here, and more are moving in weekly, not to mention Indians (from India) whole areas where they are very, very prolific.
Me and my family just moved here. I have to say everything you said in this video is spot on. Cumming is hot! (I'm from Minnesota) But overall the feel of Cumming is delightful, great for families! Downtown Cumming is particularly exciting! I can't believe all the stuff there is for me and my family to do, there's events all the time and even a small water park! Lots of unique history here too, plenty of interracial friction brought us to the present cumming, but it has settled with many places here being exceptionally diverse. I love Cumming! Thanks for the video 🥰🥰
This video contradicts itslef CONSTANTLY. By the way, while MARTA has some advantages, MARTA would ruin Cumming since it brings criminals to your neighborhood. That has been 100% proven already.
You think that Cumming was like being out in the country 15 years ago? Are you crazy? You should have seen Cumming back in 1994. That was country. My parents bought a home in a brand new subdivision and we had chickens from the farm next door walking through our subdivision. We didn't even have a phone or cable for over a month because there was no phone line where we were. That's country. Cumming hasn't been country in a very long time, way before 15 years ago. The people in Forsyth county doesn't want Marta up here. I will say that education here has definitely improved. Back in 1994, talking to the teenagers and people my age then (20s) you could definitely tell that the education these kids were or had was extremely poor. So the schooling here has definitely improved. I know that she didn't mention it. We have so many new gigantic subdivisions being built like she said. Also townhomes like she said and we have so many people moving here. And I do mean a lot of people. A lot of people from out of state and a lot of international people. Cumming has gotten to the point where we have way too many people here. The shopping is not phenomenal but it is improving. There's not that many restaurants here that aren't chain restaurants, so that definitely needs to be improved on. Another thing is that some of the older subdivisions are going to be on larger lots where as she stated in the video new homes are much smaller lots. That is very true. But there seems to be some people who are moving here, and are buying old homes to demolish them and then rebuilding a brand new gigantic home on it. There are definitely some very pretty areas in Cumming where you still have a lot of woods surrounding the home or subdivision. There's definitely some better areas of coming than others. I've lived here in Cumming for over 30 years and I can definitely say that this area has transformed night and day. Personally I can only think of one thing that is a true con about living here. But I'm going to keep that to myself.
We don't have public transportation because we VOTE to not have it. It keeps the rif-raft out of this area. If you don't own a car don't come up here. Lets face it. We love this place...so don't come here because we don't need more people. Also the people that come up on the lake that have no idea what they are doing on the lake are weekend warrior types from Atlanta that only come out on labor day or 4th of July. These are the people that get killed every year out there. The locals know not to go out on these dates...or if you do find a quiet cove.
A couple of good points for retirees, there is no state income tax on Social Security. Also, Forsyth County has a really good deal where the property tax is reduced by 80% for those who are 65 and older.
That is a really good question. Real estate prices fluctuate as the supply goes up and down. Currently in our area supply is really low and I believe it will continue to be that way as COVID-19 continues. Building supplies are going up so much in cost and to get your hands on lumber is getting harder each day. That is slowing down the process of building new construction homes. Of course that affects the number of homes actually available on the market. Therefore, driving the home prices upwards vs down. I think we are going to see a continuation of this until COVID-19 dies down.
