Atlanta Accommodation Advice
 

I'd love some advice from anybody living (or lived) in Atlanta. I'm going over there in 2 weeks on a H1-B visa. My job is located in Alpharetta and I'm in the process of figuring out where to live.

As a 24 year old, I love the sound of Buckhead. My only concern is the daily commute- I've heard Atlanta traffic is heavy.

I guess I'm looking for somewhere with some nightlife / social scene that isn't too far away from work... Does anybody know how places like Dunwoody or Sandy Springs stack up?

I'd really appreciate any advice guys. I have a motel booked in Roswell for the first couple of weeks- I'm hoping this will give me enough time to find somewhere, put a deposit down and move in.

Thanks!

My SO lives in Buckhead in a gated community. He pays approx $750 for 750 sq feet.
He drives into Mid-town everyday. there seems to be little rhyme or reason to the traffic. It can take anywhere between 20 mins and an hour and 20 mins to do the 7 mile drive home.
