Anybody know anything about Dacula, GA?

The wife and I are moving to the Perimeter Atlanta area and found some really nice new construction homes in Dacula but we know little to nothing about the area. Our real estate agent isn't saying much about the area citing the FAIR housing act. It seems a little remote but I work from home so I don't have to deal with traffic that much.
Thanks!
Thanks!

There is a place that we haul plastic pipe to that receives at midnight to 6 am. That's all I know about it.

Move to Marietta. I have a buddy from there and it's a pretty nice place.

I like Dacula. Its not that far from anything near the Mall of GA fairly easy access to 85. Nice houses, Trophy Club is a great golf course.

Have you looked up 400 yet, Alpahretta, Cumming, Johns Creek, etc.... When you say you need to go to Perimeter, where do you mean? because usually when I hear perimeter area, it means perimeter mall, which is 400 and 285

My brother lived there for about 10 years. It seemed like a very nice town and I know that he liked it a lot.

Biggest thing to know is it's pronounced 'duh-CUE-la'. If you pronounce it like dracula without the r you will be ridiculed.

Only part of Gwinnett County I'd consider calling "country"
ETA: That said I haven't sniffed it in 15-20 years so I'm sure it's some sprawled suburban nightmare now

Does your wife have to fight the traffic? If so what area will she be working in?
If you're going to live in Gwinnett County there are really only 2 options IMO. Suwanee and Buford. Dacula was a nice place to live and go to school about 8 years ago. Now, not so much. They do have the biggest Kroger in the southeast if thats what youre into.

Just go ahead and avoid the entire I-85 corridor.

Perimeter and Dacula are two different areas and many miles apart. I live in Johns Creek. Public schools are really good, local traffic is meh. When I go to Midtown, I much prefer taking 85 over 400. I find 85 is a breeze in the morning from 285 on down. 85 above 285 is always a mess.
Unless you're looking for open land, I wouldn't go all the way out to Dacula. Plenty of reasonably priced places much, much closer in.
Why don't you consider renting an apartment (pretty much anywhere north of the loop) for the first six months? It'll give you ample time to actually go visit all these places, experience each one's traffic, and make a more informed decision.
