The hills in Atlanta are not as rugged as the Ozarks. If Houston were located where Nacogdoches is, it would be a good match.

Nah. Atlanta is a lot hillier than Nac is. Agreed with the point about the Ozarks though. If Houston were where Beaver Bend, OK is, that would probably be closest.

You either haven't seen enough of Nacogdoches or you haven't seen enough of Atlanta. If you head northwest of the city, things do get especially rugged around Smyrna and Vinings, and of course you have Stone Mountain to the east, but most of the city simply sits on a plateau with only moderately sized hills, which are similar to the hilliest parts of Nac.

Believe it or not, most of my walks/runs in Atlanta were on pretty level terrain and required almost no effort.

Are you sure you aren't talking about Atlanta, Texas?

Level terrain in Atlanta, Georgia??????? I'm thinking you've never been there!

No. Atlanta isn't THAT hilly. Nac will do.

The Ozarks will put Houston into the same category with Birmingham and Nashville.

Move it northeast, and you have forest by the bay.

Atlanta metro covers alot of ground and it some level terrain within Metro Atlanta. For the most part though it's pretty hilly. Has bigger hills then East Texas but East Texas rolling hills definitely has some similarities though. It's some areas here in Atlanta that remind me of home(not Houston).

I lived in seven areas of Atlanta, only one was hilly...Marietta only had a hill going up and down to the Chattahoochee, Bulkhead was flat, Ashford Dunwoody was flat, Moore's Mill was just a mole hill rise, I am just talking about a 5 mile run, so if you go more than that you're likely to find a hill, having visited Houston, I can say it's pretty flat. Trying to find just a bit of a rise for our new home
