Hey ATL fish, is there a negative connotation to Chamblee vs Brookhaven. From a home buy perspective, I am seeing better deals, newer homes in Chamblee. Both are ITP. But I get the sense that Chamblee has a "working class" element to it, especially with respect to Buford Hwy corridor. Any thoughts?

That’s the connotation but in reality both have pockets that are very nice and some that are not so nice

People are weird here. Get the best deal in the best spot. As long as you are not in the literal “hood” you are fine and will live well as you know. I’m not paying 75k+ for the same house in a slightly better neighborhood with more expensive shops when I can live 10 minutes away for cheaper. Same thing is going on with Smyrna and Marietta right now lol

I live in Chamblee literally right across the street from Brookhaven and next to Buford Highway and love it here in terms of food, access to city, location, etc. Have seen a lot of younger couples and families move into my neighborhood

Schools in chamblee are better. Going to contribute a lot to the prices. If you don't care about that the difference is minimal.

Brookhaven is definitely known to be nicer than chamblee but chamblee is definitely on the way up

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Quick question - my package includes some fixed component for housing. Say if I spend less than that at actuals, I cannot claim the full amount?
