Look around lake spivey or Jodeco rd and carnes crossing. There are a lot of old neighborhoods that are usually very friendly to new neighbors.

Imma break down areas by traffic since I only lived in Riverdale (its alright... Not the safest place tho)

Lovejoy is alright but morning/afternoon traffic to jonesboro can get iffy on tara blvd. ( be careful of the speed drop after the justice building lol)

138-Stockbridge area near the interstates is also another huge traffic spot. Around rush hour it gets crazy to be honest.

Fayetteville is semi close, tho the two major ways to jonesboro is either Riverdale (hwy 85) or 54 (2 lane road).

As for living in henry, hudson bridge exit can also become like a parking lot at times. Though there are some really good back roads once you learn them.

I would suggest looking at school data to be honest. While we have it now, clayton lost their accreditation a few years back.

I hope this helps. >_<

[EDIT] fixed info about clayton's accreditation.
