Food, travel and entertainment media website Thrillist has released a list of what it thinks are the 5 best Atlanta suburbs for Millennials.

Of the list of 5 Atlanta suburbs that it published, 2 are OTP (outside of the I-285 Perimeter), 2 are ITP (inside of the I-285 Perimeter) and 1 is ATP (just outside of/at the I-285 Perimeter).

Roswell is a great place, but I don't know that I'd put it on any sort of "affordable" list?

Not really.

A have a few good questions:

1. Was this "list" only limited to Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett and Cobb County, as the article seems to imply? Because if so, that's *stupid* (for obvious reasons everyone knows).

2. What methodology did Thrillist use to come up with their "list?" Or was it simply based on the certain type of way the author felt at the time they wrote the article?

3. What exactly makes a suburb "the best?" That's an extremely subjective description.

I'd consider Smyrna. Not in Atlanta but not far from it and can get more space for the money.

I would be curious to how they define affordable. I have many friends who make $100k and can’t afford these areas...

You have friends who can’t afford what they want in these areas. There are two bedroom condos available for around $150 in Roswell.
