All about JC gas!

Ok need to hear from y’all again. When we were looking into utilities we noticed a LOT of gas options. Any suggestions on which one to go with?

Why Does Our Neighborhood Only Have One Internet Service Provider?

Sorry, not willing to disclose the neighbourhood name ( between johns bridge rd and medlock bridge rd)

I moved to this area a couple of months ago, aware that there was only one Internet Service Provider (ISP) serving our community. After checking nearby neighborhoods, I found the same situation—just one ISP available.

I’m curious about why there aren’t any other providers here to foster healthy competition. Is it mainly due to high investment costs and profit margins that keep other companies from entering the market? Are people living here generally satisfied with having just one option? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Johns creek is the only city of its size in Georgia without football or rec center

Johns creek is currently the largest city by population without one dedicated footballfield. When a recent study was done by an outside firm on what the city needs most with new park was Multipurpose sports fields, including football. What did they do instead? They put down cricket and soccer… 🤦🤦 meanwhile the city is waisting huge amounts of money on a lake and underground tunnel for their new “Avalon” this is why young families are leaving johns creek.. this is why tbe 4 high schools are historical bad at sports. They also have no gym space or rec center. Kids are playing sports less and less in this community and the largest park is Ocee which is baseball only, and technically in the city of Alpharetta, in fact the park was donated by Alpharetta. It has already outgrown its size and the city puts zero baseball fields at its new park lol 😂… there is a large group currently organizing a recall of the current mayor and city council which is a complete joke and more concerned about pickle ball than building a city for young families, it’s become a retirement community! In fact fulton county is looking at closing elementary schools in the coming years because of a major lack in growth.

St. Ives vs Bellmoore Park

Hi friends and neighbors. We built a house in Bellmoore Park a few years ago. We’ve since started a family and have a little kiddo at home. We’ve enjoyed the neighborhood and our home, but our perception is that St. Ives as a community may better align with our family’s interests. By that, I mean that the HOA and the community seem much more established at St. Ives than at Bellmoore, which is still being built out and the HOA remains under control by the builder, ultimately. We perceive that St. Ives has more activities for families, more social events for homeowners, etc.

But there is also the country club component; we’re members elsewhere so I presume that, unless we as homeowners were also members in the country club, pool usage, for example, would not be available in St. Ives. At Bellmoore, all the amenities are included in the HOA dues, of course, as is lawn care and landscaping (but, there again, we’d have more of a lawn at St. Ives, even if I would have to find someone myself to mow it).

We actually looked at a few homes in St. Ives before building in Bellmoore, but none of those physical homes were (obviously) right for us. We’ve never forgotten what an outstanding community it seemed to be, hence why we’re considering getting back into the market for the right opportunity.

Any opinions by those familiar with either or both developments?

Edit to clarify, we also aesthetically prefer the homes in St. Ives than Bellmoore. So community, aesthetic and lawn size are probably the motivators.

Utility costs

My family is looking to move to Johns Creek and I’m curious about utility costs for the area. Understanding house size, age, and insulation plays a huge factor, what is the average cost of utility costs for the Johns Creek area?

Looking for something similar to Taco Mac (10 years ago Taco Mac - back when it was actually good) or Marlows. Anything in Johns Creek we should try? Haven’t really found anything, but feel like we are just missing some obvious choices.

Tree Removal

I submitted a request to remove a few trees on our property to the City of Johns Creek and they told me to find out whether the trees are located in a landscape strip or zoning buffer. How do I find that out? Any advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yard Debris Removal

I have a large pile of sticks and branches in my yard I need to get rid of, easily enough for a dump trailer full. Is there a place I can bring them nearby? I am also open to recommendations for someone who will either drop off a dump trailer for me to fill or who would just take them for me. Really looking for the cheapest solution here.

Boat On Chattahoochee With Spotlight

There is a boat that has gone by twice now very slowly with a giant spotlight scanning the shoreline. Any idea what they are looking for? Seems pretty late (almost 11 pm). This is just south of Medlock Bridge.

Decatur vs. Johns Creek - city, quality of life, etc.

We are relocating next month but we're quite torn over where to move and looking for:

  • something walkable (groceries, basic daily goods, fresh produce, cafes, restaurants, etc)
  • something with a MARTA station that's quick to get to Midtown
  • something with access to excellent academic-inclined middle and high schools (but also have a cheer team, etc)
  • safe
  • fun for a family of four

Decatur looks VERY interesting, but we've started looking at private and other areas north of Atlanta (like Johns Creek) and really like the asian influence (we're a mixed family). So my quesiton is kind of:

Are there similar cities to Decator (old charm, functionally walkable for daily and weekly needs) with similar great schools (or better) and more vibrant international scene?

How would you compare Johns Creek vs. Decatur?

Troffer Light Disposal

We recently replaced all the basement lights and we now have a fair amount of working troffer light fixtures we need to get rid of. In looking online I can’t figure out where/how to give them away or dispose of them/recycle them appropriately. The Johns Creek site mostly talks about recycling for glass and lightbulbs, and I’m not sure that fully applies here. Anyone know where in Johns Creek I should take them to? We don’t really want to post them on a marketplace like Craigslist or anything like that.
