"I raise my family here.... and don't feel guilty"
Do any of you actually live in this neighborhood? My husband and I bought a house here about 3 years ago. It's a charming, small, but classic house in a cul-de-sac. Our neighbors are friendly and we know ALL OF THEM. I really think it depends on which side of the neighborhood you live in. The side bordering 183 is a lot more seedy and full of crime, while the part near North Lamar and in the middle is much more close knit and friendly. I'll be honest my children will not be attending any of the neighborhood schools. Also, from what I've seen the majority of the people that live in Georgian Acres are either older people that have lived here their whole lives, younger couples buying their first house, or hardworking families. I like it and am proud to live here. Give it 10 years and I bet this neighborhood will be the next big thing.
