Many people talk about owning a home, but the truth is that renting a home can be a much more rewarding option. You do not have to worrying about fixing things around your house when they break, you do not have to worry about a down economy and the effect it has on your real estate investment and you are never stuck with a multi-decade mortgage that you may eventually not be able to afford. If you are planning to move to Atlanta, you may want to consider renting a home in these neighborhoods.
Midtown
Some people consider Midtown the heart of Atlanta. After all, it is home to several major colleges and the headquarters or major hubs for several large companies like Coca-Cola. It is culturally diverse, boasts one of the city’s largest parks and is home to great entertainment spots like the infamous Fox Theatre and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. From new high-rise apartments to single homes in historic neighborhoods, Midtown offers a place to live for every person’s taste.
Old Fourth Ward
In 2013, Atlanta’s mayor offered tax incentives for businesses to move to Old Fourth Ward and help turn the area into a place where people wanted to be. So far, so good. Since the 1980s, locals have been restoring the area, fixing up old homes and businesses. It is quickly becoming one of the most desirable places to live, work and play in the city.
Westside
Atlanta’s Westside was once a bustling commercial hub, but by the 1950s, its buildings sat mostly empty. Over the years, however, a few creative minds came along and turned those empty spaces into trendy apartments and homes, adorable retail shops and popular restaurants and night clubs. Whether you are a social butterfly or you prefer a more relaxed way of life, there is something for everyone in Westside.
Many of Atlanta’s major neighborhoods have been revitalized over the years with contractors building new properties or restoring old ones for renters who flock to the city from all over the world. No matter what you are looking for, you will most likely find it in one of the three neighborhoods above.
