I've been around Atlanta a long time and I've been looking for a job a long 
time, so I'm probably uniquely qualified to answer. ;-) There are clusters of 
tech companies in these areas: Norcross/Technology Park, Alpharetta, 
Perimeter, Intown/Midtown, Marietta and points to the Northwest. The number 
of businesses in Midtown is considerable, so that makes a move too far from 
the center a bad bet. If I were thinking of an ideal location convenient to 
all possible tech jobs in Atlanta, it would be off of 400 just north of 
Abernathy Road. All of this says nothing about housing costs, school systems 
and taxes.
