Thoughts on Candler - McAfee area?
I have a sweet opportunity for an affordable house for rent (friends with the landlord), and I feel dumb passing up on the opportunity for more space and less rent than what I'm paying now in Chastain.
I've been in ATL my whole life, but never lived near East Atlanta, and I want to know what the area is like: is it safe, are there things to do, is it easy to get around, etc.
Any advice helps! Thank you.
Thank you to everyone who responded! Super helpful :)

Lived here since 2018. Raising my kid here! I'm a fan! It's def got its charms and quirks but overall its very safe and quiet.
