1. Budget - $180-250K
2. House/Condo/Townhome? - House
3. Employment Status(commute/work from home)- commute to Vinnings
5. Suburban or Urban lifestyle preference or a mix of the two - Suburban or Mix
6. Easy access to public transit, important or not? - No
7. Preferable demographics of desired neighborhood - safe neighborhood

Moving from Canada on job relocation in Vinnings so looking for a home that is commutable distance.
Have been to Atlanta only once before so not really a real idea about the surroundings.
I'm guessing Smyrna or Marietta would be the choices but I'm reading online and looks like traffic/commute time is a big consideration.
Not looking for Public Transit but would prefer that its not miles away.

Any other suggestions that will help easy transition / assimilation are welcome and Much Appreciated.
Thank You

I would say Smyrna/Fair Oaks area or Grove Park (30318) on the south side if you are willing to go for an up-and-coming area

Smyrna is getting popular and that price range won't buy much of a house unless you want to do a lot of work. There are some very roomy townhouses/ condos so don't rule them out. You might search for zip codes 30080,30082,30339,30126,30318,30008, 30327 for a reasonable commute. Vinings is a pricy zip code (30339) so you'll get more for your money in Mableton and the SW corner of Marietta. There is a slip of Smyrna that has a Mableton mailing address but it is in the city of Smyrna. Vinings sits on the Cobb and Fulton county line. Taxes run much cheaper in Cobb County. I'm happy to help you search when you are down for a house hunting trip.
