Wanted a bit more room than in neighboring city, Atlanta? Lawrenceville is an excellent choice, full of family fun, charming homes, and a growing number of places you'll want to take visiting friends.

For starters, there's the fun and quirky Dizzy Gypsy—self described as a local awesomeness and creative studio—where art, yoga, and creativity of all kinds meet under one roof. Practice your downward dog, choose a painting for your entryway, or test your own skills by signing up for an art class. No matter what you choose, you'll be helping to support your artistic neighbors.

Now that you've picked up some valuables for your home, you'll want to keep them safe. Install an ADT monitored home security system to equip your home with 24/7-monitored motion detectors, security cameras, and smoke alarms. You'll even get remote smartphone control, so you can lock your doors on the way to the next stop on your Lawrenceville bucket list.

That next stop just might be historic downtown. As the oldest city in the greater Atlanta area, Lawrenceville definitely has the history to prove it. Learn about your new region by paying a visit to the Gwinnett History Museum or take the fam to the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse. While you're perusing your new quintessential downtown, grab a pint at the local Exhibit A(le), where you can sample your beer of choice for just a buck fifty. After all that's the beauty of L'ville: history meets modernity.
