Considerations when choosing an Atlanta moving company
Moving to Atlanta doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Before starting your search, make sure you've gone through the following:
Must-haves, and what you'll be willing to compromise on. You may need to give up certain amenities to live in your favorite neighborhood, or otherwise look for a smaller layout or a different apartment type.
Your search horizon. The ideal time to start searching is between 1-2 months before your planned move-in date. However, don't be stressed if you only have a couple weeks to go; a surpising amount of rental inventory is usually available for immediate move-in.
Your favorite neighborhoods. We've put together a curated list below of some of the more popular areas to get you started on where to live - whether you're moving by yourself or with a family, looking for a residential area or one in the middle of the action.
Documents you'll need when applying for an apartment. These will vary depending on the landlord, but most require verification of employment and income, your credit report, and references from previous landlords.
Whether you'd like to live alone or with roommates. Roommates can mean considerable cost savings upwards of 50%-60% depending on the amount of people
Tips for moving to or within Atlanta
Facts about Atlanta
Atlanta is home to the Braves and was the site of the 1996 Olympics. It once had the name of Marthasville, named for Gov. Wilson Lumpkin’s daughter. There are over 55 streets with the name “Peachtree” in Atlanta, so be sure to get specific addresses before exploring the city. The symbol of the city is a phoenix because Atlanta was the only North American City to be destroyed by war when Gen. Sherman burnt it to the ground (400 buildings survived). Atlanta’s main airport, the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, is the busiest airport in the world since most flights to other major U.S. cities are only two or three hours from Atlanta.
Moving to Atlanta
Climate
The climate in Atlanta actually has a wider range than you might expect, with summer highs around 90 and winter lows around freezing. Even so, Atlanta rarely sees more than an inch of snow - so don’t expect a full winter experience. Summer humidity brings summer thunderstorms, which are often a welcome respite to the heatwaves that hit the city.
Culture
The culture in Atlanta is one of the most distinct in the country. Atlanta has one of the largest LGBTQ populations in the nation, just behind San Francisco and Seattle, and is racially and ethnically diverse. The New York Times dubbed Atlanta the “hip hop center of gravity”, and the soul music scene is thriving too. Check out top restaurants like Staplehouse or Bacchanalia, jam out at the Shaky Knees Music Festival in May, and don’t forget about all the green spaces in the city for those warm days.
Transportation
Two sad facts: traffic in Atlanta is terrible, and you pretty much need to have a car. There is public transit but it isn’t as extensive as it would need to be to enable car-free living. The good news? The city has invested heavily in The Beltline, a network of green spaces and trails that you can walk, run, or bike to get through Atlanta.
Cost of Living
The cost of living in Atlanta is higher than the national average, but not by much. The factor that tips the scales is the cost of buying a home: you’ll pay about 20% more to buy, only 5% more to rent. Luckily the per capita income is higher than national average too, and the job market is solid with big employers like Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and Home Depot headquartered there.
