However, making the transition to a new city can be both exhilarating and challenging.

1. Live near the MARTA<\/span><\/h2>\n

MARTA<\/span><\/a>, short for Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, is the city’s primary public transportation system. It encompasses buses and a rapid transit network, including heavy and light rail services. MARTA offers convenient connectivity throughout Atlanta, reducing traffic congestion and providing an eco-friendly transport option for residents and visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you’re an avid traveler or have to be at the airport a lot for work, you’ll definitely want to live near MARTA,\u201d suggests Jessica Camerata, Owner of <\/span>An Indigo Day<\/span><\/a>, an Atlanta-based lifestyle blog. \u201cWhile Atlanta unfortunately lacks a great public transportation system, getting to and from the airport is a breeze if you’re near a Marta stop. It’s one of the best ways to avoid our infamous rush hour traffic when you need to jet off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Neighboring cities are worth the day trip<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Duluth<\/span><\/a> community is exceptionally diverse with activities, events, and businesses that meet all levels of interest. The city has some unique thrifting experiences such as <\/span>Wellspring Living Treasures<\/span><\/a>, an upscale resale store with high-end clothing, quality furniture, and goods. It\u2019s also a hub for communities to engage with their work and be a part of the solution to help restore lives of survivors of exploitation and coercion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other nearby cities worth exploring include <\/span>Decatur<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Sandy Springs<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Marietta<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Alpharetta<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Roswell<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Understand the cost of living<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cWhile the city provides a range of housing options catering to diverse budgets, the <\/span>cost of living in Atlanta<\/span><\/a> can differ significantly from one area to another,\u201d explains digital content creator, <\/span>Arkeedah McCormick<\/span><\/a>. \u201cResearch becomes an essential tool in navigating this spectrum. By understanding neighborhood-specific costs and amenities, you can better tailor your budget, making informed decisions that align with your financial goals. Whether you’re drawn to the heart of the city’s pulse or seeking a quieter suburban haven, a well-researched budget ensures you can fully enjoy all that Atlanta has to offer without sacrificing your financial comfort.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While the <\/span>median sale price for homes in Atlanta<\/span><\/a> reached $439,650 in June 2023, almost 3.5% more than the <\/span>national median sale price<\/span><\/a>, Atlanta home prices are still much lower than other major cities. For example, <\/span>Seattle<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Boston<\/span><\/a> both have a median sale price over $800,000. Or, there are plenty of <\/span>affordable suburbs in Atlanta<\/span><\/a> if you\u2019d rather live on the outskirts of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Explore Atlanta\u2019s neighborhoods<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cAtlanta’s tapestry is woven with a rich diversity of neighborhoods, each boasting its own distinct personality,\u201d explains digital content creator, <\/span>Arkeedah McCormick<\/span><\/a>. \u201cFrom the historic charm of <\/span>Inman Park<\/span><\/a> to the artistic allure of <\/span>Little Five Points<\/span><\/a>, the city caters to an array of lifestyles. It’s a canvas where modern high-rises stand alongside quaint bungalows, and bustling commercial districts coexist with serene residential pockets. Researching the different neighborhoods becomes pivotal in discovering your ideal fit. Whether you seek a vibrant urban scene, a family-friendly environment, or a tranquil retreat, diving into the character, amenities, and local attractions of each neighborhood can guide you toward a place that resonates with your preferences and lifestyle. Each corner of Atlanta is a world of its own, waiting to welcome you into its unique embrace.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Atlanta loves local<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cAtlanta has an incredibly rich community around good, clean, and fair food,\u201d shares Lisa Nguyen, Communications Co-Chair for Slow Food Atlanta, a nonprofit organization that promotes local food and traditional cooking. \u201cThere are so many ways to tap into local agriculture and support the region’s farmers and producers. Stock up on local produce at one of the many community farmers markets in Atlanta’s circuit, or follow the trail of <\/span>snail-approved<\/span><\/a> food and beverage businesses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Be prepared for the traffic and the subtropical climate<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cPrepare to embrace Atlanta’s scorching summers, as the city’s climate infuses its vibrant character into daily life,\u201d states <\/span>Armanko Photography Studio<\/span><\/a>, specializing in business branding. \u201cThe intense warmth becomes more than weather; it’s the backdrop to outdoor festivals, picnics, and al fresco dining. While exploring Atlanta’s neighborhoods and attractions, brace for occasional traffic congestion. As a bustling urban center, the city experiences particularly high traffic levels during rush hours and events. Adapt by planning routes, using public transport, or exploring on foot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Familiarize yourself with the Beltline<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you haven’t yet decided where in Atlanta you want to put down roots, I’d recommend somewhere near the Atlanta Beltline,\u201d says Malika Bowling, blogger at <\/span>Atlanta Restaurant Blog<\/span><\/a>. \u201cIt is super unique to Atlanta. It’s a 33-mile paved trail of walking and bike paths that connects in town neighborhoods in a loop around the city with parks, street art, food halls and neighborhood architecture to glimpse along the way. I love to park and walk to my favorite brunch spot and then walk off brunch afterwards.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Explore Georgia\u2019s food scene<\/span><\/h2>\n

Exploring the food scene is a can\u2019t-miss <\/span>Atlanta bucket list item<\/span><\/a> for new residents. \u201cGeorgia’s allure owes much to its rich and diverse culinary landscape,\u201d says Danny Kim, Owner of <\/span>Local Expedition Wood Fired Grill<\/span><\/a>. \u201cIt rivals any big city, offering an array of ethnic cuisines. The days of being limited to chicken wings and visits to the iconic <\/span>Waffle House<\/span><\/a> are long gone. Instead, newcomers will find themselves stepping into Michelin-starred dining establishments that seamlessly coexist with hidden gems tucked away in unassuming corners. From upscale venues to the humble yet mouthwatering delights served at local “hole in the wall” establishments, Georgia’s food scene promises a journey that caters to every palate and sense of culinary exploration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things I love most about being here is the food,\u201d explains Cristy Lenz, owner of <\/span>Food Tours Atlanta<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI always say you can find good food at any price point in the city and burbs. From tacos and pho, to Korean BBQ and Persian, Atlanta has it all. What’s harder to find is traditional southern food like fried chicken and mac n cheese. For that you need to go to <\/span>The Colonnade<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>South City Kitchen<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Busy Bee Cafe<\/span><\/a>,or <\/span>Matthews Cafeteria<\/span><\/a>. Some of my favorite places to eat in the city are near my own neighborhood. I head to <\/span>Krog Street Market<\/span><\/a> for <\/span>Little Tart<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Jai Ho<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Ticonderoga Club<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Ponce City Market<\/span><\/a> is home to <\/span>El Superpan<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>H&F Burger<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Atrium<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Bottiwalla<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Lyla Lia<\/span><\/a> is my go-to for the short rib ravioli, <\/span>Kimball House<\/span><\/a> for the oysters, and Hotel Clermont for <\/span>Tiny Lou’s<\/span><\/a> and the spectacular rooftop views.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter moving to an Atlanta suburb 15 years ago from the Northeast, we quickly became infatuated with Southern cuisine,\u201d says Adam, founder of <\/span>Ramble Atlanta<\/span><\/a>, a resource for all things Atlanta. \u201cMany of our favorite restaurants are located in historic buildings, nestled in the many walkable city centers scattered around the suburbs of Atlanta. To name a few, <\/span>Milton\u2019s Cuisine and Cocktails<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Milton<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Table and Main<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Roswell<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>South Main Kitchen<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Alpharetta<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Century House<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Woodstock<\/span><\/a>. These restaurants blend historic charm and simple, yet delicious flavors that keep us coming back time and again. Of course, the fried chicken too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

9. The city caters to car enthusiasts<\/span><\/h2>\n

“For car enthusiasts, Atlanta ranks as one of the <\/span>best in America<\/span><\/a>,\u201d states Rod Worley, publisher and editor at Vettes of Atlanta Magazine. \u201cThe vibrant car community showcases the full range from purists to custom designers, racers to casual meetups. <\/span>From the <\/span>SAVOY automobile museum<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Road Atlanta<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>NASCAR’s Atlanta Motor Speedway<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Atlanta Motorsports Park<\/span><\/a>, there is something here for everyone. Also, for those who enjoy spirited driving, the world-famous “Tail of the Dragon” mountain pass and the breathtaking North Georgia mountains are not to be missed.”<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Don\u2019t miss Amalfi Cucina & Mercato<\/span><\/h2>\n

Amalfi Cucina & Mercato<\/span><\/a> is a traditional Italian restaurant with locations in <\/span>Downtown Atlanta<\/span><\/a> \u200dand <\/span>Buckhead<\/span><\/a>. Owners Stephen de Haan and Greg Grant trained with Italian Pizzaiolo Maestros in Naples and studied in the Associazione Verace Pizza Napolentana. They introduced refined Italian street food to Atlanta through Amalfi Cucina & Mercato, offering classic Italian dishes like Chicken Parmigiano and traditional pastas, alongside shareable appetizers, salads, and original desserts. Their restaurant includes a full bar, craft cocktails, and wines chosen by a sommelier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Known for Neapolitan-style pizzas, their signature, Pizza Amalfi, is a standout. These pizzas begin with dough made from D.O.P. ingredients and are cooked in wood-burning brick ovens imported from Italy. Amalfi Cucina & Mercato’s pizzas earned recognition from the Food Network and a spot in Association Vera Pizza Napoletana. The Italian menu was reimagined by Executive Chef Santiago Echavarria, a 25-year veteran.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Be ready for the incredible arts and music scene<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you’re contemplating a <\/span>move to Atlanta<\/span><\/a>, you’re in for a dynamic urban experience with a rich cultural scene and diverse communities,\u201d shares Grant Eshback, founder of <\/span>Open Home Mortgage, Inc.<\/span><\/a> \u201cAtlanta’s arts and music scene vibrantly thrives with diverse galleries, theaters, and venues.
