Moving to Atlanta - Powers Ferry / Cumberland Blvd (Smyrna, Vinings: apartments, rentals)

[javahousemedia]

I got a new job on powers ferry road close to Akers Mill / Cumberland Blvd. Looking for an apartment close by between $600-$800 for 1br/Studio. Not too thrilled about the ones I've found, I'd rather be in an area with a little more going on. Willing to commute around 15-20 minutes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Vinings is very close to that area.

Vinings is the way to go if you want more nice restaurants, culture, and a good late 20's-40's scene. There are a lot of great restaurants and small shops to check out. The apartments are usually expensive, but you can find some good deals a little further away from the middle of Vinings.
Also, check out Atlanta Road toward the Smyrna Market Village, or West on Atlanta Road towards the new up and coming West Village.

Since it's in the immediate area, I'm moving this to the Atlanta room where you will most likely get more answers.

Check out the Market Village area in Smyrna as well (near Atlanta Rd / Spring Rd intersection where Spring Street crosses Atlanta Rd). There may be some rentals mixed in there (most will probably be private rentals), though most are owner-occupied. There's quite a few restaurants in there, a few parks, community center, library, etc. It's also where Smyrna festivals are held. However, no swim/tennis communities very close to Market Village, as far as I know. You'd have to go to a park for that. The closest ones are South on Atlanta or East on Spring Rd.
