Relocating to Atlanta

If you are relocating to the Atlanta area and have never lived here before, you will definitely benefit from the assistance of an experienced professional. Some of the things that need to be considered include:

  • The sheer size of the Metro Atlanta area is huge. For example, if you reside Cumming it’s an hour drive to Kennesaw in no traffic, but it’s hard to tell this from a map.
  • Understanding the commute routes and times. Setting yourself up for a bad commute on a daily basis is unacceptable and avoidable.
  • Which county you reside in greatly affects your tax base and school district.
  • Which County Park Systems you are near can make a huge difference on what your children have access to for sports and recreation.
  • The Neighborhoods choices vary greatly and everything you can think of is available. This includes small, large, gated, private, with or without golf, tennis focused, swim focused and everything in between and various combinations.
  • The sports hot spots for your children vary. For example, the top travel baseball is in South Forsyth and East Cobb. The top Soccer, Football, LaCross, Swim are in various regions.
  • If you are looking to retire here, you need to be aware of the Property Tax Exemptions available in the different counties.
