My husband is flying to Atlanta for an interview with Lockheed-Martin in Marietta next week and while we are not positive that he has the job yet we are optimistic. I have been reading mixed reviews about Marietta, Roswell and Woodstock and want to make sure that we are in a safe area with good schools. I am, so far, shocked at how nice some of the houses on craigslist look and the low rent.
Can anyone give me some insight?

From the 'Moving to Atlanta' thread--

1. Budget
2. House/Condo/Townhome?
3. Employment Status(commute/work from home)
*Location of place of employment
4. Children(public school vs. private)
5. Suburban or Urban lifestyle preference or a mix of the two
6. Easy access to public transit, important or not?
7. Preferable demographics of desired neighborhood.

As for the listings you may have found on CL--Roswell, Marietta and Woodstock cover fairly large areas and the neighborhoods vary.

You might find some relevant FYI in this thread>>

Don't believe everything you read on Craigslist. You really need to see the neighborhoods for yourself.
