Hello All,

I'm moving from the Twin Cities to Atlanta sometime this spring, and am hoping for some advice on where best to live. I'll be working at the airport but not at the terminal (Delta HQ), so MARTA is not a desirable option. I'm 23 but am not into party/club scenes.

I'd prefer to live somewhere urban yet on the quiet side (I live in downtown St. Paul right now). Big constraint: I need to have a private garage for my classic car, so finding such a place is really pushing me out from the core areas. I think I've narrowed things down to Buckhead, Decatur, or Smyrna/Vinings, but other options are welcome!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Vinings would be a good fit, I think. The commute to the airport wouldn't be horrible, and it's a nice walkable area with some nice local restaurants.

I would personally consider renting for a little while before buying; that will give you a chance to check out the area in detail (and get a better impression of the various locations you're considering) before committing to a property that you might not be able to easily sell again for quite a while.

Are you a victim of DL's engulfment of NW? If so, welcome to Atlanta from a former MSP NW employee (10 years in Buildings C, F, and then J).
