“I didn’t come here: I’m FROM here”! Atlanta is NOT perfect. BUT, it’s appears to be BETTER than where you came from. Cost of living: it’s far more reasonable to live in Atlanta than L.A., SAN FRANCISCO, MIAMI, NEW YORK, etc., I’m rarely insulted by folks taking issue with various quirks about living here; in my Rhett Butler voice) Delta is READY when YOU are!

When you move to another city .. There will be other issues … That “perfect city” Man /Women that we are searching for .. DOES NOT EXIST !! In this world !! Lived all over the world .. recently retired from New York ( 34) yrs ! Moved to a small town here in Ga . ( Conyers) .. so far .. so good !! If the Bad out weigh the good !! By that time i should be ready for the “nursing home “. Lol😅

Thank you! This is very helpful. I will be relocating to GA from Seattle WA in February of 2025 and will be keeping my position here working from home. I’m really researching what area I’d like to buy my home there so, I’ll lease there for hopefully less than a year and familiarize myself with my surroundings before buying something. I found this video interesting, thorough and helpful 🤔🌺

I am looking for a house without HOA. I hate to buy a house with HOA because they dont allow me to plant anything that I want. Please let me know if you have any new houses without HOA. Thank you.

I have lived all over ga. It sux everywhere

imma be honest most of these ppl moving here need to stop.

Where would you recommend a new Delta Airlines employee with a young child move to? Good enough commute to the Delta Headquarters and good school district

If you have repairs done on your vehicle, make sure you drive it about two weeks before getting an emissions test.

I think you were spot on about your assessment of Atlanta I would also add that weekend Brunch is a big thing down in Atlanta. There are a lot of black owned brunch spots- and the restaurant experience here is a whole nother conversation… it gets super hot in the summer- we had 90+ degree weather since June. Winters are fairly mild. I would also say that the rent is crazy high- even living on the outskirts of Atlanta you could be paying anywhere from $1700-$2000 just for a 1 bedroom apartment, which doesn’t include utilities and you still have to worry about your car getting vandalized. And these are at the “Luxury apartments”. Atlanta is over crowded better yet “we full”! We don’t have the road space for all the people that are constantly moving down here hence the horrible traffic. You do better staying where you are or moving to Texas, the carolinas or Florida. I hear the cost of living in Texas and Carolinas is more affordable.

I would warn people not to move here by themselves. The southern hospitality is lacking here as a whole. A lot of people here are pretentious and flaky so it is hard to make genuine friendships here. Like DC, Atlanta is clicky and big on networking and your social status does matter here. People only want to be bothered with you for what they can get out of you and how you can benefit them and/or their business. If they don’t think they can get any value out of you then they don’t want to be bothered with you. There are some nice/cool people here but it doesn’t necessarily turn into a friendship

I think you are woefully disillusioned about how great a place Atlanta is to live. Some 30 yrs ago I moved there but thankfully left before it became the mess that it that it has become today. Many people like myself who love Georgia hate to even visit the center of caos now called Atlanta. It is no longer part of Georgia culture but is an island full of ex-Californians, Philadelphians, Chicagoans, New Jerseyians and immigrants plus a potporri of homeless and misfits. Atlanta is mega-center for drugs, gangs, sex trafficing, among many other illegal markets. Traffic congestion, over-priced housing and inadequate public transit comes to mind when one thinks of living in Atlanta. Long gone is the tradition of warm southern hospitality it once had. Go visit cities like San Francisco today and you'll see what Atlanta will be like in 10 years!

I live DT Atl and you will be without water at any given time. I had no idea!! Been here 9 months. Also, just when you think you got it figure out, your things will be cleared out of your vehicle in the blink of an eye. Do not keep anything in your car! Happened twice in 9 months. The 2nd time, Forgot something in my car one night, GONE! Perks...walk everywhere. Good food, fun places. Close to mountains for a breather. Marta is good, then you have the tram. Weekend open air markets, unique places along the beltline. Great street art everywhere! Hiking trails, yes, good ones! Great places to explore, parks, vintage 2nd hand stores, historical cemeteries, churches, museums, theatres. You're also about 4 hours from a beach. Beautiful blue ridge pkwy, Chattanooga TN, and other great places within a few hours drive. Oh, and the lime scooters everywhere, now bikes too, are very neat and useful!

I been here since 2017 & its been a crazy with traffic....

Petersammarco from Vancouver British Columbia Dexter Realty keep in touch. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your insights. Much love to you and your family. I’m certain you’re an incredible parent.

Did she say "good waether?" As opposed to where else in the southeast? Are you serious? It's hot as fish grease in Georgia.

I’m ready to move back to my state 😅never again Georgia.. yes housing is cheaper, the schools system bad, the weather is horrible, in the winter it gets cold, summer too hot, infested with bugs everywhere 🐛

People believe me when I tell you, Atlanta ain’t shit. It’s way overrated… young, old, cripple, blind, or dumb Atlanta is not a good place…. Demonic Black Cloud over Atlanta. Multiple MURDERS everyda,high rent,food,car insurance and hateful, malicious jealous hearted people 😡 Everyone is in competition with each other

Moving there in October

Lets be honest,just stay out of ATL.Nothin good up there.no sugar coating huh?

Wish to reside in Georgia, pleasant view with beautiful stunning structure

Lmao I was raised in doraville .. it’s mostly chill nowadays , but it does have its “pockets” where you wanna avoid . Crime was crazier when I was in HS, the Hispanic gangs were on 10 back then lol

Its foreign AF but its a great place to raise kids so they learn about the world from others around their age. I grew up there in the 90s

Wow! This was so helpful! I am relatively new to the ATL area. This was a great orientation of where to consider living and working!!

Lived in Atlanta recently for 2 years contract work Pros: a lot of trees if you Iike that, a beautiful Botanical Gardens, city looks pretty, some great food~ Not the popular celebrity restaurants. Cons: 1) crime everywhere, 2) so many homeless people downtown 3) arrogant people trying to act rich ~ yes, the fake it till you make it’s 4) horrible traffic 5) ridiculously high rent and high home prices for not that great a home. For a nicer less expensive home you will live in a different city not in Atlanta and drive in and that drive will take you hours. 6) smaller towns 1.5 hours from Atlanta you will see Confederate flags - not unusual. At all. 7) low pay for medical industry compared to most of the United States 8) very high prices for nail and hair salons 9) a lot of DL men. A lot. Ladies be very careful! 10) Scammers both women and men looking to take advantage of people ( read You!) Don’t be a target. 11) crime, crime, and yes, violent crime. I lived there on contact for 2 years quite a long time ago as well. The city has changed, if you look at it holistically it is for the worse. At this point, I do not recommend moving to Atlanta for the reasons listed above.

Very helpful video Thank you

Doraville. Guatemalans and Koreans.

What is your name baby..?? I would live with you .. Do you want to be my girlfriend.?

Heyy

I visit often . I usually stay in Alpharetta near Avalon . Nice safe area . I come into city . Do my thing and then high tail it back to Alpharetta . Atlanta is a beautiful city with hills set in a forest . Imagine that coming from flat Miami . Lol😅 The people are nice also .

Why did you say “Great weather” 🤣 everywhere he great weather for a few months

What's the equation for these calculations?

I want to know when you filmed that shot of 124 with that little traffic.

I DONT WANT TO MOVE THERE. Way too many g@yz and it’s a LIBERAL hell hole. I will stay out here in beautiful AZ

Do we really have good weather? What is bad weather?

Atlanta is not nearly as bad as the video projects. It's a great city if you have a car and good job.

There is no regional or mass public transportation in Atlanta or surrounding areas. Traffic is horrendous. And you had better have more than one car since you can't take public transportation. Also, If you want to buy a house, try to find property that doesn't have a Home Owners Association (HOA) which really owns your house while you pay the mortgage and taxes. You have to get permission from the HOA to do almost everything you might want to do on your property. Crime is rampant all over Atlanta and surrounding areas. I was born in Georgia and retired back to Atlanta 20 years ago, and it was the worst mistake in my life. I hate it, but stuck. Also the worst healthcare I have ever received in my life is here in Atlanta. I fly to Boston periodically for medical care. All that glitters is not gold. Do your research.

Atlanta is played out. It was good in the 90's and early '2000's. I don't understand why some people are still at this late date, hyping up Atlanta. It's been a wrap.

I love visiting Lithonia my family lives their. This home is beautiful !!!! 🥰🥰Thanks for sharing

Is Fairburn considered Atlanta or a suburb of Atlanta?

I got the sesame chicken from this place in Atlanta and bro it’s SO GOOD

Great overview of the Atlanta Metropolitan Area

There were 2 errors; there is no Interstate 595 or 695. Those highways are actually 575 and 675. 575 is going North up I-75N through Marietta towards Woodstock, Canton, Acworth areas. 675 is going South down I-75S through cities like Stockbridge, McDonough, into Henry County.

You have to make a lot of money to live here now. Make at least 6 to 7 figures. Most people I know who moved here came making their salaries from up north and the west coast. The job market here sucks unless you work for a company that is not based here.

If you want to live in the Southeast Charlotte or Raleigh NC is a way better choice then Atlanta!!!!!

I lived in Atlanta it's terrible I wouldn't move back there if they paid me!!!

Is home sitting a job there?

I drive to work pisses me off seeing same homeless person on same corner for 5 years
