Atlanta Apartments For Rent

Southern belles walk alongside high-powered executives – and perhaps even a zombie or two. Modern, elegant skyscrapers share the same space as historic antebellum plantation homes. Atlanta is unlike any other city – it’s progressive and modern, yet traditional and steeped in history. It’s a city where giant corporations are next door to quirky restaurants and out-of-this-world art galleries. It’s the land of Falcons and Hawks, Gone with the Wind and the Walking Dead. It’s a city that is a diverse kaleidoscope of busy days and “Hotlanta” nights. Before you rent an apartment in Atlanta, get to know the layout of the city – from its unique neighborhoods to its trendiest hangouts.

Things to Do in Atlanta

Think you’ll be bored in Atlanta? Think again! Your new apartment in Atlanta will open up a whole new world – a Southern menagerie consisting of sports events, amazing museums, historic sites, and beautiful parks. Be sure to visit the Fernbank Museum, Zoo Atlanta, the High Museum of Art, the World of Coca-Cola, Woodruff Park, and the Georgia Aquarium – the largest aquarium in the world. Catch a concert, art show, or other event at Piedmont Park or at the legendary Fox Theater.  Be inspired by the laser light show at Stone Mountain Park. Cheer on the Falcons and the Atlanta Braves, and be sure to check out local hotspots such as the Vortex, Eddie’s Attic, the Laughing Skull Lounge, and the exclusive fine dining at Bacchanalia.

Those who love a good scare and beautiful locations can enjoy both at Bellwood Quarry – this location’s other-worldly beauty made it the perfect filming location for a chilling scene from the Walking Dead. If the 1.9-billion-gallon water reservoir surrounded by sheer granite walls doesn’t inspire you, perhaps the waterfalls at Cloudland Canyon, the lush beauty of Calloway Gardens, or the stunning vista from atop Brasstown Bald – the highest point in Georgia – will.

What to Consider When Moving to Atlanta

Why Atlanta Apartments Are Hot:

Atlanta offers everything from exclusive, five-star restaurants to family-friendly diners. The shopping is legendary, from the Lenox Mall to Phipps Plaza to Atlantic Station. It has perfect weather, with an average temperature of 72 degrees.  The city features several distinctive neighborhoods, from trendy Little Five Points to upscale Buckhead.

But Atlanta has that secret ingredient … the “something extra” that makes this city stand out. Perhaps it’s the top rated colleges such as Georgia State University, the University of Georgia, Kennesaw State University, Emory University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology.  Or perhaps it has something to do with the rich history you’ll discover at places like the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Carter Center and Presidential Library, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, the Civil War Museum, and the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum. Perhaps it’s the beauty of the city, discovered in places like Centennial Olympic Park, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and Grant Park. Or maybe it’s the plethora of outstanding events, including Music Midtown, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival, Dragon Con, and the Atlanta Film Festival. No matter what it is, there’s no doubt – apartments in Atlanta are hot!
