"There are many nice subdivisions and parks around, as well as plenty of stores to go shopping at," one resident said in a Niche.com review of Johns Creek. "It is very safe in this area and I almost always feel safe. The traffic lights could use better syncing up because traffic is usually very busy and I get stuck at many lights with bad timing. The city is usually clean, but has debris on the sides of the roads near the curb and road kill is not cleaned up very quickly. Other than that, it is a very enjoyable place to live."
