Relocating from Arizona!

Its looking like my hubby & I will be moving to Atlanta after the new year. He has been offered a job with Delta Airlines, working at their headquarters at the Hartfield International Airport.

So Nesties I am looking for some insight on where to live, and to work. I'm a hairstylist (working in Scottsdale, AZ) looking for a nice upscale full service salon & spa. 

Also, if anyone currently works for Delta, some advice would be amazing. Seeing as moving across the country is stressful!

Thank you so much in advance.

  • Early welcome!

     The living question is pretty intense because there are a LOT of neighborhoods here...What is most important to your family- proximity to work? Great shopping/restaurants? In the city or a suburb? Schools? Just from what you said, I'd think Decatur, Buckhead or Midtown could be good....But let us know what you really want in a neighborhood and we'll do the best we can :)

  • Definitely enjoy the burbs versus the city, we live in a master planned community right now, so having everything together is a major plus. Schools right now are not a big deal, but looking to live in a young family area with lots of shopping!

     

    Thanks again!

  • I'm moving to Roswell 2 weeks and I will need a new stylist! Let me know where you end up! It seems to me like the suburbs are nice there, good schools, and that the downtown part was hopping when we drove through the other night. I've heard Buckhead is really nice and fun too
  • I'd also consider Peachtree City and Newnan (Coweta County). The drive from the south side is much better to the airport than from the northern burbs. I'd also look at renting for 6 months to a year before you decide to buy, so that you can figure out where to live.

    A lot of Delta people live in Peachtree City, but it is a little pricey. It is a pretty good community though (DH grew up there).
    The commute from the south side is definitely better than from the north side... I live in Palmetto (Coweta County, just north of Newnan) and I drive about 40 miles to work... it takes my about 30 minutes in the morning and 45 in the afternoon.

  • I'm not much help since I live south of Atlanta, but I wanted to say hello and welcome to the board!

  • Welcome to the board!  I agree with pps...if you want to live in the suburbs, you might want to look south of town.  The commute from the northside will be absolutely dreadful. 

    Avoid Henry County.  The school system lost their accreditation, and I know you said schools weren't a big deal right now, but it will make selling a house very difficult.  Good luck!

    Do you mean Clayton County? Henry Co. has pretty good schools. Clayton lost the accreditation but got it back within a year. I'd say yeah, avoid Clayton Co.
