If you are planning a move to the south and are looking to buy one of the many attractive Atlanta, Georgia condos, here are a few facts to help you get the ‘flavor’ of the city.

Mixed economy

Atlanta is the largest city in the state of Georgia and has a mixed economy including both white-collar and blue-collar workers. Overall, a higher proportion of the population works as sales and office workers, IT technicians, managers and professionals.
In addition, Atlanta is a popular city with artists, designers and media workers in general. This comparatively high proportion of creative types for a U.S. city has helped to imbue Atlanta with its individual personality.

Entertainment

Furthermore, Atlanta, Georgia has a generally young and well-educated population living in its city condos. There are plenty of opportunities for newcomers and residents to meet and form lasting friendships over a restaurant meal, listening to live music or enjoying many other social activities. It certainly has nightlife with venues just as sophisticated as those around Manhattan apartments.
For daytime ...
... entertainment, there are many sports centers and cultural center activities, where young professional stay in shape, meet new friends and relax away from the demands of their careers.

Fresher air.

If you enjoy the fast pace of city life, but worry about the air pollution that dense traffic creates for people who live in say, New York City condominiums and other U.S. cities, then Atlanta, Georgia will be a breath of fresh air for you. More people than the average for U.S. cities use public transportation to get to work in Atlanta.
This means there is far less air pollution than you would get in similarly priced Manhattan apartments, for instance. Therefore, you can go house hunting in Atlanta, Georgia’s city-center without worrying about the air quality on the streets outside the condos.

Ethnic diversity.

The city of Atlanta is ethnically diverse, with a prevalence of African-Americans followed by Caucasians with German, English and Irish ancestry. The predominant language is English, but plenty of the residents in Atlanta, Georgia condos also speak Spanish.
If, like me, you are moving from one of the New Jersey residences near the shore, it can take time to adjust. You will miss Italian hot dog stalls, bagels and the wonderful views of the New York City bay.

Good education.

However, there is less chance of your kids suffering from diseases caused by air pollution and the young people here are more focused on getting a good education and a college degree - things you do not always get with kids raised in New York City condominiums.
In addition, the cost of living is so much cheaper here in Atlanta that we can spend more money on extra-curricular activities for our kids and enjoy a better quality family life. Therefore, speaking as an Atlantan of ten years standing, I firmly believe that as long as you find a condo near a good school for your children, the life here compares very favorably with other U.S. cities!
