One of the first decisions buyers and renters make is where to live: in the heart of the city or out in the suburbs. Metro Atlanta offers great options for both, so it comes down to your lifestyle and priorities.
The case for city living
- Walkable streets with restaurants, shops and entertainment nearby
- Shorter commutes for many downtown and Midtown jobs
- Easier access to public transportation
- Lower-maintenance homes such as condos, apartments and townhouses
The case for the suburbs
- More space inside and out, often for the same budget
- Yards for kids, pets and gardening
- Quieter streets and a strong sense of community
- Many well-regarded school options
Questions to ask yourself
How long a commute are you willing to make? Do you want a yard or less upkeep? How important is walkability? Are you planning for a growing family? Your answers will point you in the right direction.
Try before you decide
Spend a weekend in the neighborhoods you're considering. Visit at different times of day, try the commute and explore the local shops and parks.
