Hello! I'm a single gay male in my 30s in the creative industry and I'm curious about relocating to Atlanta from New York. I want to visit because I'm working for an agency in ATL that might go full time.

Midtown is your neighborhood

I’m a lesbian and just moved to Atlanta a year ago. It seems like there is a robust gay (male) community here. Bars, sports leagues, running clubs. It has surprised me (in a good way). As others have said, look at Midtown. It’s not NYC, but it is walkable.

I currently live in deep Brooklyn I never really came to NYC for NYC but some form of community would be stellar.

Agree with A1. Midtown has all the gay bars/ hangout spots.

+1 for Midtown but I’ll add a few other neighborhoods to the list
- Little 5 points
- East Atlanta Village
- Kirkwood
Each is a little further east of midtown but all would have dog friendly parks and quirky / creative communities you mentioned on one of your comments

Walk ability is extremely important to me. How do you deal with traffic? I'm drawn to Atlanta because I can live closer to work and it's a bit cheaper but I fear I'll lose any gains to gas money.

We are very gay friendly and the ATL is a fantastic place to live ! Come on down !!
