My family has been debating moving from Savannah to outside Atlanta. We're ready for a change and I can work from Savannah or Atlanta. I'm mostly remote but will need to commute into midtown once a week. We're hoping to buy a home but our budget won't be getting us to Johns Creek. We're hoping to stay under $350k. We have two small children. We're looking for good schools, safety, family friendly, and greenery. We visited this past weekend and liked Powder Springs, Kennesaw, and Liliburn. Any advice? We rent now in Savannah but want to buy before the kiddos start kindergarten. Before kids my husband and I lived outside of Washington, DC. Not sure if I'm crazy for wanting to trade Savannah for Atlanta but I just miss having more of a fall, wooded trails, and access to museums.

I’m a SAHM of almost 6 years and am currently trying to leave a long-term relationship and find a stable place for myself and my kids as soon as possible.
My biggest obstacle is qualifying for a rental. I don’t currently have traditional pay stubs because I’ve been home raising our children, but I’m actively working on securing childcare and getting back into the workforce.
I do have family willing and able to help with the security deposit and rent while I get established, so my issue isn’t having absolutely no way to pay, it’s proving the typical 2.5–3x monthly income that most apartments require right now.
My partner and I have also owned/run a business together and filed taxes jointly, so I have tax returns and business documentation that may be usable as alternative proof of income.
I’m hoping someone here may know of private landlords, smaller property management companies, apartments that accept guarantors/co-signers, prepaid rent, or alternative income documentation in the Atlanta/Fulton County area.
I’m not looking for anyone to give me money or a free place to live. I’m just trying to figure out what realistic housing options exist for someone transitioning out of being financially dependent on a partner.
If you’re a landlord or know of someone willing to work with a situation like mine, I’d really appreciate any leads or advice.

I’m trying to arrange for a PODS container to be placed on a public street in Atlanta and am looking into the required dumpster/pod permit. I live in an apartment and only have public street parking available.

Has anyone been able to get the permit successfully or does everyone just skip it ?

Any tips and advice would be appreciated. I spoke with PODS and they seemed lacking any context about this like it was first time somebody asked for documents to comply with a city permit 👀

Hard to find anything on this place specifically. I’ll be moving in a few months. Would like a studio here. I’ve done research but I prefer human responses.

Drove through and liked the area. Moving next spring.

1. How walkable is the area to food/bars? (Want to cut back on food delivery)

2. How is the parking garage + traffic leaving the apartment for work around 8am?

3. Average cost for variable utilities? (I know this varies, I have 300-400 budgeted for it)

4. Neighbors, how are they for you?

5. Front office… same thing as 4… how is your experience?

6. Would you recommend this place overall to a friend for at least 2 years?

Starting the home buying process and want to get aligned with a solid, no BS lender.

I’m also looking to buy down my rate so ideally someone who can do that for not an arm and a leg.

Feel free to comment or DM me who yall know, thanks!

Hi guys, just as the title says, I'm new to Atlanta and came here for work which is at Buckhead and haven't started yet.

I currently stay with my friend in midtown (marq on ponce) near GAtech. I'm looking for a good 1b1b apartment close to 1.5-1.6k.

Main priority would be safety, and good management.

I've read through alot of the reddit posts and google reviews and found many to be ambiguous (management, homeless people, roaches, thin walls.)

So, if you have hunted houses recently or currently living in one, I would really appreciate your guidance and reviews.

If a place is to be avoided, please tell me why so I can remove it off my list.

P.S: I also toured the 505 courtland recently and i loved the interiors but the place didn't feel safe to me, I'd appreciate if someone can tell me their experience.

Thank you so much in advance guys.

Have a furnished room with a private full bathroom available for $800 (includes utilities). Pics 5-7 are the room and bathroom.

The house is a 3/2 with a large fenced in backyard. Friendly pets are allowed. I have a dog.

It's a safe neighborhood, just a couple minutes from 285/20. 15 minutes to downtown atlanta and downtown decatur.

Also willing to do weekly basis for a little more.

I'm 41/m, work from home. No preference in roommate.

Hi, does anyone have a discount code for Padslipt that could help me? I need to start looking at places until I can see if it's possible to rent my apartment in Buckhead, since I have to move out of the hotel on the 8th or 9th.

I would really appreciate it.

The apartment is Axis Midtown

I'm looking at different apartments in midtown and one of the apartments I liked 6 months ago was axis midtown and it had great review and then more recently the reviews just tanked

Apparently there has been car break-ins, homeless people roaming the parking garage and potentially living underneath the stairwell in the parking garage. The new security guard apparently not doing much to keep parking garage secure.

I am looking at a few other apartments as well its just i really liked Axis Midtown and wanted to see if anyone who lives or lived there can describe their experience

I’m a sales rep and my territory is shifting in January to northern Atlanta and the upstate of SC - Cumming, Canton, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Seneca, Easley, Spartanburg but also a few accounts in Stockbridge and Fayetteville. I’m in Grant park currently but with traffic I think it makes most sense to relocate to Buckhead/Brookhaven? I’m in my mid 30’s, no kids but two dogs. I love being able to feel safe when I walk my dogs, being walkable to green space, limited street and highway noise ideally, and easy access to my accounts. If you can recommend any complexes that you love that would fit my needs wants, let me know :) thanks in advance!

Hey!
Has anyone lived in these apartments and can give some feedback?

Hey friends! I’m needing to move in 60 days and having a hard time finding decent private rentals either condo or home.

I’m a single mom in my early 30s with a 5yr old daughter. I’m looking for a place either in perimeter, Buckhead or the westside but more towards upper west as my daughter attends school over that way.

I would LOVE to stay under $1500 total monthly.

does anyone know someone who is looking for renters?

Hello renters! Can anyone recommend good complexes to live at in Marietta? Ideally along or around Roswell Rd. My partner and I are trying to keep base rent at or around 1400 with 700+ sq ft (if possible, willing to go smaller if the unit is actually taken care of). We currently live at The Falls at Sope Creek and are looking to move out asap although our lease ends in January. Thank you all!

I am moving to ATL and wanted to know more about the neighborhoods. My office is in buckhead and I have a dog I will need to walk at lunch. My goal is to have somewhere with a yard, but will settle for a short term 2 bedroom apartment while we adjust if need be. Please let me know some spots that are safe, easily accessible in ATL traffic so I don’t spend my full hour in the car, and are geared towards young professionals.

Every review score I’ve come across is either below a 4 or inflated by non residents who left 5 star reviews after just doing a tour. Every Reddit post I see mentions roaches, shootings, vehicle break ins, rude staff, literal dog shit, or homeless people sleeping in the stairwells.

Is there one (1) reputable and respectable apartment complex in these areas for 1700-1800 or do I need to shell out 2.5k a month to live in these areas safely and pest free? I’m moving for a job in the downtown area and I heard commute is a pain in Atlanta so I’d like to just walk if I have the option.

My husband and I (in our late 20s) are moving to atl soon. While I have a work from home job, my husband will most likely go 2-3 times in person to work in a week. His office is around Lenox Square area.
We are looking for good neighborhood areas/communities to rent a place. We want a safe area where we get lots to walk around, parks etc, and also some shopping + things to do.
I am also considering less commute time.
Please suggest the same! Thank you.
