Lithonia is a city in eastern DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. The city's population was 1,924 at the 2010 census. Lithonia is in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
"Lithonia" means "city/town of stone". Lithonia is in the heart of the Georgian granite-quarrying and viewing region, hence the name of the town, from the Greek λίθος lithos, for stone. The huge nearby granite dome, Stone Mountain, is composed largely of a rock called Lithonia gneiss, a form of granite. The area has a history of rock quarries. The mines were served by the Georgia Railroad and Atlanta, Stone Mountain & Lithonia Railway. Some of the rock quarries have been converted to parkland and the rail lines to rail-trail.
Lithonia is one of the gateways to the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area, which is largely contained inside Stonecrest, GA.

I love helping people and I see the need to help elderly. Some don't have anyone to help them and I was always taught treat people the way want to be treated.
very friendly
This community have a newly built recreational center for the elderly, not far the recreational center is housing.
They keep the neighborhood clean. Never hear of any criminal acts, it is more of a elderly neighborhood. They also have a HOA and the homes are lovely
