Atlanta GA Apartments

Apartment Rentals in Atlanta, GA

As the biggest city in the southeastern United States, Atlanta, GA attracts people from across the entire region looking for great jobs and affordable apartments. The greater Atlanta area is home to a number of major corporations, including Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and UPS, which is great news for the thousands who flock to the city each year in search of a better life.

Transportation Options

Atlanta spreads through the forested foothills of northern Georgia along major roadways like I-75, I-85, and I-20. The city's beltway, simply called "the Perimeter," surrounds it in an oval shape at a distance of ten to fifteen miles. Thousands of new apartment units are constructed along these roads each year, and although rents are slightly higher in this area, it may be worth it to begin your apartment search here. Secondary clusters of apartments can also be found at transit stations along the city's MARTA subway lines.

Favored Neighborhoods

Atlanta is a city of neighborhoods. Midtown Atlanta, north of downtown, is home to many new high-rise apartment buildings that offer stunning views of the city and surrounding landscape. Buckhead, further north, is comprised of free-standing brownstones and houses converted to apartments as well as tony apartment complexes with security gates and on-site concierge services. The city's outlying neighborhoods are heavily forested, making them a paradise for lovers of the outdoors.

Bringing a Pet

Pet policies in Atlanta apartment buildings vary from lenient to extremely strict. Check with your landlord before moving in; while most apartment owners don't ban pets completely, they may charge expensive, non-refundable pet deposits. This is especially true in newer developments in Midtown and Buckhead.

Amenities and Local Flavor

Atlanta's summers can be uncomfortably hot, so it's fortunate that most of the major apartment developments built here since the 1960s feature an outdoor pool and other recreational facilities. Also, don't forget to ask your landlord if you'll have free access to an on-site gym. Once you move in, take the time to explore your surroundings: Unlike in many other cities, some of Atlanta's best-kept secrets can be found in its quiet neighborhoods.
