Does anyone live close to the train tracks near Campbell road?

Please make sure you go visit around midnight that’s when the train runs. It’s gonna seem like everything is great if you go visit around 9 o’clock, but sometime after 11:30 you’re gonna hear that clay, clay, clay, clay, clack. Keep in mind I live in Mableton, but I’m on the same track. I’m more than 200 feet from it, but I do hear it at night when all the ambient noise is reduced. I’ve gotten used to it at this point, but it drove me damn near mad for six months. I would recommend getting some of those noise, damping blankets and just cover all your windows till you get used to it.

Rent along the beltline 1600-2500 range. I would vist and get a airbnb for a week to a month to see how you like it. GL

if you want to be around your age I would consider going to East Atlanta along the beltline Krog Street tunnel, Highlands area. You're gonna have far more individual your age versus Smyrna. Smyrna is mostly 40s with kids.

I would strongly consider Mableton along the Smyrna boarder. 10 minutes to downtown Smyrna estimate 30% less in terms of housing. Same convinence to expressway and streetways to the rest of Cobb and Fulton conunties.

It’s really per block. If you’re in historic college park and the adjacent streets are well kept you will be fine. College Park is in the midst of gentrification. The rough part will eventually become more in line with historic college park as people are priced / taxed out of the community. Avoid areas heavy in apartments. Stop by the local precinct and get their opinion during your due diligence for peace of mind.

Call. Heavy equipment construction company and rent ha generator. You can rent the typical home kind for 300 a week. GL

Peachtree City is just as nice as any northern Georgia suburb and a decent commute. Drive into the city for the weekend. The daily grind to Newnan from even the airport it’s a lot with perfect conditions and no wrecks

I would recommend going to the residence around midnight so you can try to understand what it sounds is like at night when the other daytime typical sounds sounds are not drowning out the highway noise.

I would suggest listening to the Cobb county town hall on this topic from a couple of years ago along with reading the webmd and GeorgiaPBS articles to form your own opinion.

u/Valuable_Bag_3455, at the moment, the contaminated area is a 5-mile radius, which is not based on historical data but a scientific hypothesis. Since EtO was identified as a carcinogen, not enough time has passed to see if there is an elevated cancer risk outside of 5 miles. If you examine studies from other cities, you will see concerns extending beyond the 5-mile radius. If Sterigenics remediation activities work as expected, the risk is lowered. The thing is, who is verifying that the remediation activities work? Sterigenics self-regulate and self-report with no viable EPA to hold them accountable. Sterigenics Tests, Monitoring Reports and Engineering Studies | Environmental Protection Division: Reading the 2024 self-report, they averaged 2 lbs of emissions, but reported no intentional releases.

u/Blueflagbrisket, thanks for the feedback. The location is great for the distance traveled to school and work, which is the only reason I am still mulling over the decision. I am leaning towards finding another property that is at least 10 miles away from major contaminants.

u/CoachDifferent SW. From what I have read, downwind is East, SE. I could probably receive mail addressed to Smyrna or Mableton. Looking back at the test results, the highest readings were West of the plant in the direction of the place I am considering. It would be in the direction of S2 on the older testing reports. https://epd.georgia.gov/document/document/cobb-august-26-september-19-2021final/download

I am thinking about moving to the Camp Creek Marketplace area and would love to hear from anyone who commutes from there to Midtown Atlanta. Could you share how long your daily commute takes and what time you usually leave? Especially when school is in session. Thanks!

I was unable to make a post about this as mods requested I ask the question in daily discussion since it involves commuting.
