We are considering a relocation for our family. We are looking for a better job market and both cities seem to be good fits there. What I was wondering is which city is the best for families? We have a 3-year old and 1 1/2 year old. Thanks!
Both are great options. Dallas has the better economy but Atlanta is now doing very well. Unemployment is now at 7.9% way down from the 10% it was at in 2009. If you are in IT, Entertainment, Management, Medical or the Transportation industry, you will not have a problem finding a job in Atlanta.
My husband is in accounting and we will be relocating from the Nashville area. We think we have narrowed it down tothese two cities so I just wanted thoughts on the areas. We are somewhat familiar with Atlanta but never been to Dallas. Does that help?
I have to agree with the previous comments...both are great cities and both have great quality of life for families. It just depends on which you like better personally. The climates and geography are fairly different, if that matters to you at all.

What do you want in a place to live other than simply being in a suburb? If a family friendly suburb is all you require, those are available almost anywhere in the US and Dallas and Atlanta have tons of them.
You could throw the names into a hat and pick one if that is all you require.
Ok I didn't know my question was so hard. I just wondered which city you would rather raise your kids in. I know nothing about Dallas except it's hot. I know a little more about Atlanta but I didn't know how it compared to Dallas. I just don't understand why some, not all, of the posters are being so rude. Just don't write on the thread if you don't want to. I do appreciate those that took the time to respond nicely. I guess my biggest questions are how unbearable is the heat in Dallas, how is the economy and is it overall a good place to live for families. Thanks!
Don't think anyone has been rude. Afterall, they are offering free advice.
But basically a burb is a burb is a burb. They will offer pretty much the same things except for a few minor differences.
If you are not concerned with these minor differences then they are practically identical.
Now if you want oddballs like taller trees then we can point you towards Atlanta, you want good Laotian food we can point you to Dallas.
Other than that you are asking us to find differences that are too general.
They both offer similar things for raring the kiddos
