thank everyone for all the great info. As you can tell, im stoked to be moving into the area, but its so hard depending on sales pitches from the internet when looking for a place to live. Has anyone heard of Alta Woods in Woodstock? My job is in Roswell on Woodstock Rd and I hoping since the is apt is so close I wont have traffic issues. Here in my current location, you can get from one end of the city to the other in 20 minutes. And that is basically the same story DURING rush hour (its sad, but convenient)

Woodstock is NOT near Roswell and Woodstock Rd. Look for apartments in the Roswell or Sandy Springs cities. Woodstock Rd is close to Roswell Rd. That's where you should be looking. Do not find a place in Woodstock. You will regret it because it's really far away from the city, and it will take you close to an hour to get to work during rush hour.

yes, stay the F out of Woodstock. There is no easy access to the interstates and 575 is almost as bad for traffic as the top side perimeter! I repeat, live closer in to the perimeter if you can, and get a short lease because no matter what you will find something better once you move here. Only issue with living in Lenox area is that you will be paying the toll every day so add $60 to your rent. But if you live just outside the toll then you'll use the toll road like 10% of the time tops I would guess. Sandy Springs is a where I would move if I was working where your talking about unless you can find a place right next to your work, like in the Down Town Roswell area. There is some nice places and some sketch but hey where isn't there pockets of sketch in this city?

oh yeah, stay the F out of Woodstock, it sucks!

i don't live there anymore but i lived all over the atlanta area for 26 years and still my favorite place i have lived was the virgina highlands!!!! check it out. in town, sorta, close to piedmont park, lots of local bars in walking distance, great resturants, cool shops and close to the clubs in midtown. apartments and condos tend to be older in certain areas but they have that larger, hardwood, high ceilings kinda feel.

i lived a block behind the dark horse, a bar/resturant there and i completely loved it!!!! if i move back to atlanta that is where i will go back to! anyways, worth checking it out
