Hey guy's, the wife and i are considering moving down to the Atlanta suburbs, around Douglasville. My in-laws live down there and so do my two brother in laws with their families. i've been searching for homes and i am amazed at what you can buy. Houses up here that go for 500,000-800,000 you can get there for 150-250!!!
Anyway, i'm just looking for the positives and negatives, cost of living, jobs etc to further help our decision. It's getting way to expensive up here to live, we have another baby on the way and i'd love for my wife to be a full time stay at home mommy.
I'm an architect so i'd be looking for that line of work and if anyone on here does that, any comments would be great..

looking forward to hearing from some of you, thanks

 

The cost of living is great. Jobs, especially technology related, are pleantiful. The weather is great. The traffic around Atlanta SUCKS...

I am originally from upstate PA and have been in the south (GA, SC) for 20+ years.

 

great thanks

 

I am an architect, and I live in Atlanta. PM me and we will be in contact

Find a job before you buy a house. Traffic sucks around here and MARTA is a crap shoot. I am lucky and got a job where I go against traffic, but it is still a good distance away. If you are looking in Douglas, traffic on I-20 can be rough in the mornings going into the city.

 

Moved from Chicago to clermont (N of lake lanier) about 3 yrs ago. Love it, and the dragon starts right outside my door and ends 2 hours north.
