My wife and I have lived here in Duluth for 16 years. We came here by way of a corporate transfer from New York. At the time of our move we knew nothing about the Atlanta area. We spent a week looking at homes in several areas but quickly decided this was the area of choice for us. We have seen the tremendous growth of the city and have no desire to live anywhere else. We love this area because of its convenience to major highways, shopping, and the airport.
