[ale] OT: Best [tech] places to live and work in Atlanta....

[Klepinger, Aaron]

buckhead is great if you can afford it.  i also lived in East Cobb 
(13 years) and i much prefer the Northridge area off of 400 (30350) where I live 
now.  i would like to live a little closer to town, but don't have the 
money to.  i lived off of Glenridge Connector (30342 zip near Sandy Springs 
and Brookhaven) for just over a year and that was convenient but noisy (3 
hospitals nearby + 2 highways).  i'm sure a house near there would be 
better than the apartments, though!  the 2 apartments i lived in were not 
built with noise pollution in mind.  lol.  houses near there (30342 
zip) go for 300K for a shack to $1Mil +.  too much for 
me!
 
northridge area off 400 is close to pretty much everything.  

 
w/o 
traffic:
buckhead 20 min
alpharetta 5-10 min
kennesaw 30 min
norcross 15 min
airport 30 min
 
est w/ 
average rush hour type traffic:
buckhead 30 min.
alpharetta 20 min
kennesaw 1hr
norcross 25 min
airport 1 hour

  I love living in town (buckhead).  I hope when we do move 
  to our next house we can stay in town.  THere is just so much more in 
  terms of bars/nightlife, excellent restaurants, other fun stuff compared to 
  the suburbs (i lived in East Cobb for 10 yrs).  I'm not talking about 
  going to bars every night or even every weekend, cause i dont do that 
  anymore.   but i do go out to eat at least 1-2 times per week, and 
  there are more great restaurants within 2 miles of me than in all of cobb 
  county probably. 
  as long as i work downtown as well, i have no intention of 
  moving outside the perimeter.  I am a 30 minute drive from just about 
  everything worth going to in Atlanta.  Airport 15mins, Braves 15-20mins, 
  Downtown no traffic 15mins, Gwinett to buy furniture 25mins, Alpharetta to 
  visit parents 30mins, etc.
