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.

Come to Vinings!

Vining is a good one

Vinings is a great area. Close to downtown, but out of the city, and it still has walkability with some bars and restaurants. The key to Atlanta is good interstate access and it puts you at 75 and 285, with lots of surface street options as well so traffic can't box you in too bad. My wife and I have real estate investments and have lived all over the city. She's also an agent, so DM me if you want to connect directly.

I live in Sandy Springs close to State Farm and it’s close to MARTA for major events in the city and it’s a short 20-30 minute drive to midtown. Buckhead is about a 10-15 minute drive too. Vinings/Smyrna is about 15-20 minutes. Also a short drive from anything happening in Alpharetta. When we travel we take MARTA down to the airport and it’s a direct 45 minute ride. Super convenient to live in Sandy Springs and most people tell me that their favorite restaurants are here too so you’ll be close to some action. 😊

I’m a newly graduate from a community college. My program of study was Health Information Technician. I passed my RHIT exam a month ago, and I’ve been applying to jobs in state, out of state, and remotely to only receive “sorry you were not selected email.”I don’t have experience and I know that’s the reason I’m not getting selected. I’ve applied for receptionist, medical biller/coordinator, and medical clerk. Even with inflation willing to work for minimum wage or less just to gain experience.
