I just took a new job in Crabapple (Milton/Alpharetta). I am a 27yo male, single, no kids. I want to live closer to the city (Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Buckhead). I'm moving from Warner Robins but I'm in Atlanta just about every weekend so I'm fairly familiar with the city.


1. Budget 1500-1800 per month, preferably short term lease
2. House/Condo/Townhome? House or Townhome with a fenced in back yard for my dog.
3. Employment Status(commute/work from home) Commute to Alpharetta so I'd prefer something close to 400
4. Children(public school vs. private) no kids
5. Suburban or Urban lifestyle preference or a mix of the two a good mix
6. Easy access to public transit, important or not? not really that important
7. Preferable demographics of desired neighborhood. Young, single professionals

The biggest issue I have is that I have a 92 lb, 1 year old black lab. I would prefer something with a yard, but if I have to live in an apartment, then so be it.

Any tips, hints, or suggestions regarding the commute would be greatly appreciated.

Well, how much do you love traffic?

I personally moved to Alpharetta to be near my job for the sole reason of avoiding an hour+ of sitting in my car in one direction.

Sandy Springs would be better than your other choices, you could have a mostly reverse commute up GA 9. So would Roswell. Congratulations on the job.

I’d look in Dunwoody or Sandy Springs. As you said, close to 400 is ideal. I do a reverse commute on 400 to my Alpharetta job and it’s not bad at all. There is no traffic in the morning, but there is some in the evening (mainly at Holcomb Bridge). You’d be looking at a 20-30 min commute depending on exact locations.
