Where is a safe place to move that is close to downtown Atlanta?|175173

Now, I_ve lived in the Atlanta area all my life. I_ve lived in stone mountain, lawrenceville, sandy springs, and now currently reside in Marietta. I_m a full time student at GSU, now in my junior year. I_m sick of the commute down 75 every day for school so I_ve decided to rent, with two other girls around my age, into a house downtown.

Now, I don_t want to live in the suburbs anymore, so I_m looking for a safe neighborhood that would be relatively affordable that_s within the city limits. Any suggestions?

Grant park area has changed and become more developed. So has summerhill, midtown (may be expensive), some parts of east atlanta, virginia highland area.

i went to gsu! i lived in a house in decatur for a while and it was quiet and safe out there. the rest of the time i lived in little 5 points which was fun but not so safe. it was also super convenient because of the marta train station right down the street. i think it was avondale station even though i lived in decatur. and you have the advantage of being near the decatur (dekalb?) farmers market too. the train was great -- gives you a chance for a last minute study session on the way to school.

Rent at Atlantic Station. You will have so much in walking distance like Publix and Target and many other shops and restaurants, plus, they provide a shuttle to take you to and from Marta. You would really cut down on driving. If you are splitting the rent 3 ways, you should be able to get a nice place and it won_t cost that much.

Inman Park or Candler Park area

try looking in the douglas ville area
