Any Atlanta area experts?

[Robert Sigrist]

Hello. I am a Chicago native. Lived there all my life. Now my career is taking me to Atlanta. My fiance and I are both excited and worried. While Chicago has it's bad areas, I have lived there my entire life and know where to avoid. Atlanta is another story. I've heard both good and bad and would like to find a realtor who can help us find a place. Any info on any we'll known trusted relators would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am listening to anyone who has opinions about any/all of the surrounding towns. My work will be basically at the airport, so I can't stray too far from there.

Thanks in advance for all the help!!

@robertsigrist I lived in Atlanta for about 10 years and have been in Chicago for 2.  Atlanta is a great city but it but is extremely spread out.  I think you have to decide whether you want to be closer to the city(ITP/In The Perimeter) or the suburbsOTP(Out The Perimeter).  If you want to be ITP and within 25min of the airport Airport I suggest Grant Park, Inman Park, Poncey Highland, Kirkwood, Candler Park.  If you are willing to drive 35minutes then I highly recommend the City of Decatur.  Please note that I said the CITY of Decatur and not just Decatur. 

OTP is going to be tough for me to make suggestions that are within 25 minutes of the airport.  Good luck.  I happy to be in Atlanta now and you are going to love the weather.
