Intro. to Atlanta

So, it has finally happened.  The transfer has gone through and you and the family will be packing up and relocating to Atlanta, Georgia.

You may have some idea of what you’re in for in terms of your job, but finding out how you’ll fit in in Atlanta itself may be quite a question.

Well, here’s some good news!  Did you know that this southern city was just voted one of the best places in the entire nation for women, and for minority people to progress in business?  Wow!  Of course, some of you readers are just shrugging because you already knew that.  However, there are folks like me, from other parts of the nation who never would have guessed that South could be a genuinely progressive place.  What happy news this is.

So, if you’re a professional woman, this give you cause to sigh with relief.  Maybe you won’t need to pack a flak jacket and extra set of daggers to throw from your eyes after all.

Of course, if you’re a man with a woman who’s coming with you then this is news with which to rub her the right way.”Don’t worry Honey, I promise Atlanta will be good for you to.”  You won’t even need to lie; now that’s a relief!

Well, that’s one matter out of the way.  Here’s another: Which part of town are you going to want to live in?

This time, we’ll take a little look at Buckhead.  If you are fortunate and really on top then you will possibly spend time there.  If you look it on the Internet, it is described as the part of town where ‘old money lives’ and ‘new money parties’.  This area is densely populated, but may not always feel that way since some of the wealthier private homes will have sizeable gardens. 

There are also shopping areas in Buckhead.  Thisne neighborhood even has it’s own website.  You can check it out yourself.  It is so popular for shoppers that 40% of lookers and buyers journey over 100 miles just to go there.  Quite frankly, that’s impressive.

So, if you’re the urban types, and if you’re really doing well financially this part of town will be ‘a hot spot for you.’.

The fact is, it won’t be easy to buy there.  So next time we’ll have a look at where you can buy or rent right in or near Buckhead and where else you might go, if your income is in-between, far more humble thatn rich, yet well above poor.

See you again, tomorrow!
