The Neighborhoods section is hugely valuable both in historic perspective as well as cultural variations. You will want to take a tour through these neighborhoods to enjoy their contrasts (vive la difference!). The housing prices are clearly defined, from low to high. It’s like having an Atlanta native in your back pocket! While I have been here for many years, observing the many changes to this beautiful city, Moving to Atlanta: The Un-Tourist Guide is full of fresh details you can only find here.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.A wealth of helpful dataBy ReaderExtraordinaireThis book can be a very valuable guide to people who know they are moving to Atlanta OR the person contemplating a moving and considering Atlanta to be on its short list. The book has a wealth of data not found in most guides -- how hospitals compare, how high schools compare with others nationally, etc. I can't imagine anyone walking away from this book claiming it wasn't comprehensive enough for them.The book also offer some sweet 'insider' tips. For example, who knew living east of your workplace on the northside of town is an absolute no-no due to traffic congestion/patterns Or that a particular app can help newcomers overcome Atlanta's frustrating habit of having streets change names for no apparent reasonPerhaps the best aspect of the book is its in-depth descriptions of neighborhoods both inside and beyond the Perimeter. This is what most people moving want and need -- a clear understanding of 'hoods so they can quickly narrow their selection not just to what they can afford but also what fits their lifestyle.That does open up the only minor carp I might have with the book -- which is organization issues. Those neighborhoods are listed alphabetically, which means to get a good understanding of what's right for you, you may have to read ALL of them. I wondered whether it might have been more helpful to cluster the neighborhoods under categories -- Best for Young Families, Best for Hipsters, Best for Retirees, etc etc. And the overall organization of the book might merit some rethink. Although history, and Atlanta's prominence as a film site, might be interesting to some, I'm not sure people moving to the area want or need that info before the nice data on moving companies, cost of living, etc. Having an 'Oh and if you're interested' section in the back with the more historical info might work better.That said, there is so much GOOD and HELPFUL data here one would need hours to compile on one's own, any quibbles would be minor. At first I wondered if the book were funded by the Chamber of Commerce, it glowed so much about the city. But then, lo and behold, I came upon a couple of paragraphs that did a good job of saying, "Ya' know, in this category, Atlanta doesn't do that great." So it is anything but a puff piece.All in all, a great guide for those who think Atlanta may soon be the next place they call home.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.An excellent overview of our city...By RussjAs someone who has lived in this wonderful state and city for almost 35 years... I have to say I'm impressed. "Moving to Atlanta..." is up to date... contemporary with a wide range of information and tidbits about the city... it's politics, people and culture. Spending 20 years here as a journalist has given me a unique perspective and access to all of the city and its neighborhoods... both inside and OTP (outside the perimeter, as they say..) The author covers the good and the bad (traffic and rush hour!!). But anyone contemplating moving to our city will soon learn the ebb and flow of the city and its interstate. Recommending the Wayze App is a good start. I also like that she lists the sources of some of her research for comparisons of schools and hospitals.See all 8 customer reviews...
