Best place to live - working downtown/Spouse working in Marietta? (Tucker: low crime, best schools)

[mclean]

Hello,

If I will be working off Chamblee Tucker Rd and my husband will be working in Marietta, can anyone tell me what is the best place to look for housing that would work for both of us - someplace where the traffic isn't horrendous, good schools, diverse, low crime, lower taxes, and decent housing $275,000-375,000.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I think Buckhead is not a bad area for both of you. It's kinda in the middle and I am not sure if your work place is close to MARTA rail. Morning trafic on 75 north bound isn't bad at all and afternoon back to town on south bound is acceptable too. There are good public schools in Buckhead area and private schools in that area are some of the best schools in the nation.

Southbound I-75 ITP is not "acceptable" in the afternoon. It backs up oftentimes from Moores Mill Rd/Northside Parkway all the way to the connector. It'll be a tough ride back to Buckhead, even if you use the top end perimeter.
