Hey, so I just got a job in ptc and would like to get an apartment with a friend in Atlanta. I'm not really sure where the best place would be to have an okay commute (max 50 minutes with morning traffic) and still be within the perimeter. Also worried about finding a safe neighborhood without paying more than a grand a month. Please help!

Try looking into the eastern Atlanta neighborhoods; Kirkwood, Cabbagetown, Reyonldstown, Inman Park. All have great connection to I-20 and are safe as far as urban neighborhoods go. I live in Kirkwood and have never had issues, even when walking home from MARTA or the bar after midnight.

I recommend Historic Downtown College Park* and/or Historic Downtown East Point*.


Both areas are close to the city/inside the perimeter and offer an excellent commute to Peachtree City. They are both fairly safe as well.

In addition to Historic Downtown College Park and Historic Downtown East Point, also look into the City of Hapeville (the whole town should suffice).





*Note: I said "Historic Downtown" College Park and "Historic Downtown" East Point for a reason. Though other parts of both cities are very nice, some areas are still hit and miss. It's important for you to know this. If someone will be assisting you, don't just say interested in "College Park" or "East Point"...you have to be specific to which parts--(historic downtown!).





I hope this helps. Good Luck!
