Living in Lithonia, GA

Residents love calling Lithonia their home!

The city offers a small town vibe, along with plenty of Southern charm and a lively downtown area. There's tons to do for outdoor enthusiasts, and being near both Arabia Mountain and Stone Mountain means residents always have a view.

If you need to get some shopping done, head to the Mall at Stonecrest or catch a movie at the AMC Stonecrest 16. The city's also convenient to Atlanta, putting its world class amenities right at your fingertips.

Like all places, Lithonia does come with a few negatives. One is the hot and humid summers that can seem unbearable at their peak. And while Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs do play host to plenty of high profile companies, Lithonia does have a slightly higher than average unemployment rate.

Things to do in Lithonia

One of the biggest attractions here is the Arabia Mountain Natural Heritage Area. Talk about gorgeous!

This beautiful park allows you to explore how the early settlers shaped the land and enjoy the serene atmosphere of lakes, mountains, and foliage. There's a lot of history to discover and plenty of hills to roam. In fact, bikers have an impressive 30 miles of riding areas at their disposal, including everything from flat land to steep switchbacks.

If you're on foot, you're in luck. Arabia Mountain has one of the Best Spring Hikes for Any Level according to Atlanta Trails, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution ranked Arabia Mountain Natural Heritage Area as one of the Best Picnic Spots in the Atlanta area.

Families can also head to Lithonia Park, which features a swimming pool, picnic areas, playgrounds, trails, and more.

Downtown Lithonia is known as an “urban village”, complete with restaurants, shops, and art. One example is the Stewart Amphitheatre, an open air theater where touring acts play everything from gospel and jazz to new urban music.

Lithonia also hosts events and festivals throughout the year.

A holiday tree lighting event helps bring in the season, and a Veterans Day Parade honors those who've bravely served the country. Make sure to check out the Collard Greens Festival in September. You'll find entertainment, cook-offs, and various samplings, all in celebration of the tasty green vegetable.

Sports fans are less than a half hour away from seeing the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Hawks, and the Atlanta Braves. College football fans can also catch the SEC Championship and Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta every year. If that weren't enough, Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club also hosts The Tour Championship annual golf tournament.

Tips for Renting in Lithonia

Are you ready to embrace the Southern charm of Lithonia? Before renting, here a few things to be aware of.

For starters, your landlord is legally able to increase rent at their discretion at the end of the lease period – Georgia doesn't have rent control laws.

On the plus side, if your landlord doesn't make needed repairs, you’re able to hire someone to fix it and have the landlord reimburse you. Save all receipts and present them to the landlord for reimbursement – or simply deduct the amount from your rent.

Always remember that rental agreements can vary depending on the apartment complex or landlord. Make sure to read the lease carefully prior to signing so you know what’s expected of you and your landlord.
