Safety near lindbergh and buckhead crossing (apartment, condos, income)

[Eagle2008]

Hi everyone!!!

I am going to start my PHD at GaTech next August.
I would like to rent an partment in one of the following condos: Aventine at Lindbergh and Arbor Gates. Both are located near Lindbergh train stop.
I wounder about the safety in this area (lots of web sites claim is not).
If someone can give me more information about the whole area it would be fine!!!
Thanks.

This area has been the recipient of massive redevelopment over the last few years...as a result, there is only a remnant of the low income apt complexes that were at the root of the crime problem.
I have friends that live in the area...the crime that existed there was not generally serious, but more nuisance crime (ie having the tires stolen off your car; I kid you not). Even that seems to be going away...Lindbergh Center seems to be well patrolled between APD and the MARTA police.

(OK, I am learning Italian right now, so I am writing this in Italian for Vincenzo. Please don't laugh at me!)

Vincenzo - Lindbergh e un posto populare per abitare. Ha molti negozi sulla strada "Sidney Marcus" and "Piedmont". Anche, e vicino a Buckhead, dove ci sono molti ristoranti e bar.

Per andare a Georgia Tech, puoi andare a piedi a Lindbergh Station. Per gli studenti, puoi comprare un "Monthly Pass" per $30 USD! Puoi prendere i viaggi illimitato in treno e autobus!

Thanks!!! It seems a very nice place to live, i was worried about some feedback I found on internet about some omicide, shooting in the street and similar crime.
I really hope it is not true.

Area is safe, a friend is just buyng in Eco lofts and we go there a lot at night to Taco Mac and get the marta home no problem.

It's fine. It's considered one of the up and coming desireable areas to live in due to the location, availability of MARTA, etc. I used to live in that area in the mid-1980s when it was supposedly dicey but even then it wasn't that bad.
