The Northern metro has high prices like the Northern half of Atlanta. Whereas, the Southern metro is typically more affordable, but not as affordable as the Southern half of Atlanta.
It's still more affordable than Boston and LA. And remember, these are MEDIAN prices ... the MIDDLE ... for AVERAGE homes.

Here's what a $500,000 house looks like in Los Angeles:

Here's what a $359,000 house looks like in Boston:

I don't need to tell you what that will buy in Atlanta.

Sure, Dorchester, South Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester and Quincy, Watertown, among others (Quincy and Watertown are outside the city limits). http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/Quincy,MA http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/South_Boston,MA http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/Dorchester,MA http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/3458_nh http://www.trulia.com/for_sale/Watertown,MA

They are more well off than the working class neighborhoods in Atlanta, though.
