Hi Atlanta fishes, I’m moving to Atlanta in coming months and looking for your advice & recommendations for neighborhood and apartment search prior to in-person visit soon.

Background & factors:
- Male / single / age 30 (I like city life and going out yet prefer relatively calm place during weekdays than too much exposure to crowd & street noise) – heard ATL midtown isn’t too loud anyways
- For monthly rent (1BD or studio), I would prefer $1800~$2000 range but can afford up to ~$2100+ (cont’d)

You’re going to want midtown, VA highlands, or old 4th ward along the beltline. Don’t fall for buckhead it’s a trap

Or Inman park (next to O4W)

Buckhead’s gotten a bad rap lately but I’ve been living in buckhead village for 2.5 years now and absolutely loved it. Building opened up 2.5 years ago and it’s really nice (two pools, really nice gym, great location). Tenants are mostly young professionals, never once had an issue with everyone. Pools on Saturday are actually pretty fun, everyone’s really nice. Feel free to PM if want to hear more

Thanks :) what’s apt name? Will look into it and reach out if I end up applying

Tbh I liked Lindbergh when I lived there. If you’re not too good for it, super easy commute to airport on Marta about as fast as I could Uber. Inbetween atlanta and buckhead but also area is on a crime spree right now for whatever reason as previously mentioned. But not a ‘bad’ area

like

I live in Peachtree hills and literally daily there are shootings at Lindbergh. I don’t even shop at that Kroger because the homeless population is so bad right there.

- Traveling/driving commute near ATL airport area (would prefer less than 20min commute but during rush hour 30min is okay)
- For apartment building, I care about cleanliness/ newness, safety, and amenities (e.g. bbq area, gym, package delivery lockers), etc.

From this, narrowing down to midtown area (other neighbor recommendations would be appreciated!). Any specific apartments I should check out?

Center of Midtown
- Given street noise, would it make sense to live in relative higher floor? (e.g. above 10th floor? I see lots of high rise and those "upper-end” apartments in midtown but also see those row rise ones)
- Any other considerations? (e.g. walkable distance to supermarkets?, avoid right next to club/bars?)
- Some apartments I’m listing per tour: Modera Midtown, Alexan on 8th, Tens on West, Nine15 Midtown, Sixty11th…

Other areas near Midtown?
- Near heart of Midtown? (e.g. Ponce city area?), Buckhead? (commute/travel would be cons)

like

Definitely some 1-Brs for around $2,150 at 60 11th. They’ve been doing 6-weeks free for a long time. It’s definitely the best higher-end living in midtown proper

West midtown (interlock, star Metals, Walton) or beltline area by Ponce city market

like

Agree with your sentiments on Midtown. I live here and most of the newer builds have very soundproof windows so you should be fine. Feel free to reach out!

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
