[ale] [OT] Life north of ATL?

[Lightner, Jeff]

He was talking about being away from it all so I assumed he didn’t want something that close to the perimeter.  I actually live and work in this area and while I like it, there’s no way you could call it away from it all.   On the flip side since it is close to the Chattahoochee there is tons of park land.  I can walk to the river and do more than 8 miles of trails from the door of my condo.   I can drive to other trailheads within a few minutes.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a transition and we're strongly considering moving
north of ATL. Theory is that I can drive down to the Red Line and then
train in. how feasible is that, and how far out do you have to be to
avoid things like HOAs and crowds?

Not looking for high rent but a little grass in the yard for the dogs.

Thanks!

I would avoid anything nort of Delk Rd. and South of the 75/575 split if you're thinking of anywhere along I-75. I used to live off Exit 263 while I was in college at SPSU and shortly afterwards. I moved just a few miles further south to a place off Exit 259A about 3 months ago. I commute to work downtown every day, usually leaving between 8 and 8:30. My commute in from Exit 263 used to take anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes. After moving my commute is now 15 minutes (25 on a bad day). All of the traffic I would hit was from I-285 and up.

One of my coworkers lives in Sandy Springs (not sure exactly where but he says he's only about 3 miles from the Dunwoody MARTA station). He rides his bike to the MARTA station and then takes the train in from there. His commute is about 45 minutes this way.
