I am being considerd for a job in atlanta. And I was wondering what the monthly/weekly cost of living (apartment/hotel, food, electricity, water, etc) would be in and around atlanta. Remember I am 18 yrs old, and I spend very little money.

Thanks in advance!

 

where around atlanta? list a city.

i know a guy that had an apartment in downtown atlanta for like $550. it wasnt really nice and it wasnt crap either

 

I really dont know, its a contract to hire position, so they arent really telling me much other than what I will be doing.

 

Need to know the area that you plan to work in.

 

Okay, I got a location, the job will be in the atlanta international airport. Im pretty sure that is south atlanta.

So to refrase the question, about what is the cost of living like for a cheap single 18yr old near atlanta international airport?

Thanks.

 

$2239/month.

 

Where abouts was this price from? In atlanta, south of atlanta?

Im guessing you moved from there, since you show to be located in TN.

 

South of Atlanta is pretty cheap, just be careful where you look to stay. Do your research.

 

Maybe Clayton still wants a housemate.

If you are going to live on your own anywhere in Atlanta suburbs that is somewhat decent, it will probably cost you close to $1000 a month for rent and all utilities. That can probably be cut in half with a good roommate.

yeah. plus marta will take you straight to the airport.

cost of living isnt that bad in atl, just gotta find a god deal.

 

You'll have to ignore that person. He makes light of other people's bad situations.

 

Yeah id say 800-1200 for south side of ATL is pretty acurate. This is for a 1 bedroom rent only. Just depends on the specific area of the south side. There are some bad areas you wouldnt wanna live in.

Can you tell me which parts are bad? I really want to aviod those.

How far south are we talking? I dont mind a 20+ mile commute. 800-1200 seems affordable for what I would be making, And I only really want a small place since it will be cheaper to heat/cool, and the car insurance quotes I got was aprox 1200-1300 or 6 months (that is for GOOD coverage on the miata the 7 is dirt cheap since It will be welcome at home since its a "member of the family")


I still havent gotten an offer, and Im still not sure I will accept it (If I get an offer of course).

What about tech/community colledges? I still want to continue my education, I AM going to atleast get an associates degree or something along those lines.

 

Stay out of clayton county. I live in Stockbridge which is on the edge of Clayton Co and it isnt bad. $833/mo (only utlities covered are water and trash) for a 3 bedroom apt. Everything you need is at most ten minutes away and the college I go to (Clayton State University) is fifteen minutes away.

 

I was thinking places not to far from I-75. Would those places be bad to live in?

Such as places in section 2 & 3 Of this map, Maybe even section 1.

 

i lived in jonesboro for 5 yrs and never had a problem cheap rent and everything near you

 

Do you listen to any ATL rap??? (outkast,etc) Listen to their lyrics....Thats where you DONT want to live....(college park,East point,etc)

 

I was offerd the job, and I turned it down to finish my education (associates & continue to engineering) here where Im at, and I still wasnt sure if I could live on what I would be making without any real money problems, I didnt know what to do, so I didnt do it.

thanks anyways guys.

 

If you haven't already found a place you should go to www.promove.com.

They are a free apartment locating service that is supposedly very good at finding deals. One person said they saved him $200 a month on a 2 bedroom apartment.

*edit*

Well, after reading your last post this is a useless post. Sorry.
