Hello,
I am hoping that someone can give me some information on any areas in the surrounding areas of Atlanta, Ga. I am currently living in NJ and looking to move down south. I have no idea of the different areas surrounding Atlanta. I am looking to live in an area with good schools, of course crime free, and either suburban or a country setting not yet decided. I would like to be no more than 20 minutes away from Atlanta and would like something along the range of a 4-5 bdrm house ranging from $300-400,000. Please give me any suggestions....all are welcome.
Thanks!!

First, you should start a similar thread in the Atlanta forum.

I am at a loss at how to respond because '20 minutes away from Atlanta, 4/5 bedroom house in the $300-400,000 range' is too general.

4/5 bedroom houses in the $300-400,000 range are generally found 'OTP'/Outside the Perimeter. 'ITP'/Inside the Perimeter, which would include areas 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta, 4/5 bedroom houses would be much more expensive-- if they exist.

The City of Decatur is approximately 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta and would meet your criteria but good luck in finding a 4/5 bedroom home in your price range in this area.

You didn't mention employment--an important consideration when selecting a place to live in Atlanta. If your job is located on the NW side of Atlanta, Marietta, Kennesaw, then you should be looking in this area. If you post in the Atlanta forum many posters will explain what the daily commutes from different sectors involve.

The Mableton area meets your criteria. Eleven miles from downtown Atlanta, about a 30 min drive. It is very convenient to everything you would need. I sell real estate and would be happy to provide you with information. I live in the Mableton area and like it very much. Lots of affordable homes.
