I need find the right city to move to after college, especially a neighborhood with many educated young professionals. List any urban neighborhood known to have many young professionals because I am in medicine and can move anywhere.

Olde Town, Broad Street, and Artist Row all have lots of young professionals. Many of the people who work Downtown and in the Medical District live in these neighborhoods. Including several students from Augusta State University, Paine College, and Medical College of GA.

Stay far away from Augusta as I just finished 4 years of medical school there and I couldn't wait to leave. You say you want nightlife--Augusta may have 1 or 2 bars where a young professional might be comfortable. It has 2 clubs (the Vue and Modjeska which are pretty below par). Augusta is dominated by strip malls and chain restaurants. I heard many people say Olive garden was their favorite restaurant. The downtown looks nice but it is absolutely dead and boring.

Sorry to bash the city but it doesn't sound like something you are looking for.

Check out Old City, Manayunk, and Northern Liberties (currently in transition period...good invesment) Philadelphia--as these are the nightlife areas of Philly. Also the cost of living is very reasonable compared to NYC and DC. Good Luck in your search!

Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Adams-Morgan, Foggy Bottom and Columbia Heights in DC all have a slew of young professionals. Ditto Arlington and Alexandria, across the Potomac.

Would throw in Rittenhouse and Washington Square West for Philly as well. Manayunk is just graduated college town for the most part and pretty far seperated from the downtown

Boston's a great place for young professionals. It's also arguably the world capital of medical research and there are many pharma/biotech companies in/around the city.

Allston/Brighton is packed to the brim with young professionals. Allston Brighton has a great nightlife...lots of restaurants, bars, etc. It's relatively cheap in comparison to the rest of the city, but it's still expensive compared to a lot of other areas in the country.

Downtown Brookline is right near there, which is another hotbed for young professionals. Brookline is very expensive, but it's a gorgeous area. Near that are the Chestnut Hill/Cleveland Circle sections of Brookline. These areas are mostly student concentrated but they're a lot of fun for young professionals too.

Closer to the heart of the city are the areas like Kenmore Square. It's expensive, but it's a great neighborhood. Fenway Park & Lansdowne St are right there. Like Cleveland Circle, it leans more towards the college crowd, but that's not necessarily a bad thing and there's plenty of young professionals in the area anyway. You've got two humongous colleges (Boston University & Northeastern University) right there, along with another dozen or so colleges. You're looking at over 70,000 college students within a few blocks of one another...so if you're looking for a nice college girl to spend some time with...well you get the idea.

Southie is another great area. This is strictly young professionals since there aren't really any colleges nearby other than UMass-Boston. There are tons of young professionals, tons of bars, restaurants, etc. Great location right next to downtown. Pretty expensive, but so is all of Boston.

All of the neighborhoods I mentioned have fantastic public transportation coverage. Southie is the only one without great rail coverage, but they do have good bus coverage.

Augusta is a great place to check out. I wouldn't pay attention to people who join and make 1 post then disappear. Especially when they're naming places like Modjeska that have been close for years. Sounds like a troll...

Police in Augusta are still doing traffic control after 1 am on First Fridays. First Friday is a huge monthly event that usually averages 12,000 people. In the summer months the attendance increases significantly. Several art galleries, street vendors, live music, etc..
