Last time I was in Atlanta a couple of years ago I got mugged in broad daylight in the parking garage of a hotel in buckhead.

I have been to Atlanta and buckhead several times and felt that buckhead was a nice safe area, but apparently someone told me after that it borders on a bad area.

What are some nice areas of atlanta, and some areas to avoid if i considered coming back for a trip, or to live?

I'll bet you were the worst ever tattle-tale in elementary school...LMAO. To the OP......on this forum we're supposed to pretend that crime doesn't happen in the ATL.......and there is a perpetual rainbow over the city! And if there were any crimes being committed (just hypothetically speaking) it is certainly not, I repeat not, being mainly perpetrated by any particular, identifiable group. Just look for the rainbow next time you're in the ATL.....and everything will be fine....

Crime happens in the ATL, including the suburbs, but it follows relatively predictable patterns, and there are web sites and other resources about that can help you predict how trouble-prone a particular location might be.

I think everyone has the freedom to post what they want and not get shut down. I just do not understand what is suppose to be done in this particular. Do you want us to reassure that Atlanta is safe or what? If you are just stating that you got robbed in Buckhead, then know you are telling us nothing new. Sorry it had happen to you. I feel safe in Atlanta sans Candler rd and few places ppl should obviously avoid, unless you live there.

Everyone who has lived other places in the south knows that Atlanta has a reputation for having a lot of crime, especially violent crime.
