I live in metro Atlanta. I’m looking to move to a space that has a more suburban feel, but is still close enough to the city to not hamper my social life. I like going to the party - not constantly living in it. Any suggestions? Currently renting, but open to buying in the next three years.

South Sandy springs is nice. So is Vinings/Smyrna, which is a bit better in terms of traffic getting to midtown

South Sandy springs / right at 285&400

Based on what you’ve described try to stay walking distance to a neighborhood village where you will have bars, restaurants, and little shops…being just east of Piedmont park in morningside/Lenox park, VaHi, poncey higlands would give you those options and still manageable to get to the belt line to get to inman, o4w, grant park areas or up to buckhead if you wanted. Depending what flexibility you have with your career, if in midtown/downtown those areas are a quick drive or ebike ride.

Depends on which part. I live in Sandy springs but inside 285 and its like the best of all worlds. Lower taxes, easy grocery shopping, 5 minutes to buckhead.

Morningside / Virginia-Highland is what you are looking for. But bring $1.1M+ if you want to buy

Yeah if you can afford this area, it’s the best part of Atlanta in my opinion. Buckhead is too SEC.

Smyrna / Vinings. A hop and skip away from west side midtown

Look at any of the neighborhoods in South Buckhead (e.g., Springlake, Memorial Park, Garden Hills, Peachtree Hills, Peachtree Park, Brookwood Hills) or any of the neighborhoods on the east side (e.g., Morningside, VaHi, Inman Park, Candler Park, Grant Park)

North Druid hills, Brookhaven, Decatur, Avondale, maybe Scottsdale or Tucker if you are fine w/ a 45ish min commute into the city.

Also, Grant Park, Inman Park, Ormewood all great neighborhoods near downtown.

Smyrna/Marietta area is really nice and pretty affordable

Check out East Point for buying, Village of Eagan Park specifically. Quiet part of town with easy access to downtown.

Ditto. Also Historic College Park (near Woodward Academy) and Hapeville (Virginia Park neighborhood) are right there as well. All are inside the perimeter with easy access into Atlanta via either the highway or surface streets.
