Atlanta move
I may be moving to Atlanta next year. I don't use Facebook. What is best way to find roommates? For housing I have been looking at hotpads etc. Work is going to be in midtown atl mostly. Any recommendations where to live. Every apartment review shows decent about of crime. What about taking MARTA? TC:97K #roommate #atl #rent #relocation #moving
Zillow for finding one bedrooms in shared houses possibly ( they have rent feature )
Decent amount of crime doesn't necessarily mean dangerous. Depends on what you're looking at. An area where there are opportunistic car thieves for instance i.e. people who check for unlocked doors or areas that have a lot of simple assaults because there's a bar nearby and all the plastered kids do stupid crap is very different than an area with multiple shootings a week.
Consider living alone?
Atlanta rent is pretty high like around 1.8K for 1 bedroom but I may end up doing that
Studio is cheaper
Why don't you use Facebook just for the purpose ?
I have no profile picture or history for 5 years. Idk how many people would respond
They will, not an issue
MARTA is a joke if you’re coming from another city with actual decent public transport
I did notice that. I thought of using just for commute but saw some safety concerns
MARTA is fine. Don't worry about safety
Why the hell everyone coming to Atl
I know right. Microsoft is hiring like 200 people in a single hiring event for atlanta.
Check the careers site. There are like 4000 open positions in Atlanta
What is your budget?
I wanted to do 1.5K but rent is way too high
/r/Atlhousing, craigslist, various FB groups, Atlanta Teams groups. Try to avoid big apartment complexes if you can, look for private rentals
Private rentals are awesome but tough to find
Not necessarily. There are a lot of investment properties around
Marta is pretty trashy in Atl. Unfortunately atl does not do well in public transport arena. If u can get a car, u should and maybe look at areas in the nice side of Decatur since that has gotten a little more gentrified.
I do have a car, Google. Was just thinking of avoiding driving for office commute and taking train since don't have to worry about traffic and parking
Yea, Marta is also not convenient in regards to their stops. Like DC or NY trains get u within a block or two of where u r trying to go..Marta stops are so random and not well placed in general. But maybe ur lucky and ur bldg is placed near it...i just still wouldn't bother with bc Marta is so ghetto
Craigslist, Zillow, just Google..
And may be tinder
Zillow for roommate?
