Atlanta monthly rentals

Living in Atlanta

Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and a cultural and economic hub of the Southeast United States. It's a large city in terms of both population and area, and it offers a mix of old Southern charm, green space, and evolving culture. The Buckhead District is home to art galleries and hip, new bars located in neighborhoods including Peachtree Hills and Lindbergh/Morosgo. There's upscale shopping at Atlantic Station, historic homes in Piedmont Heights, and trendsetting eateries in Old Fourth Ward.

Getting around

Talk to anyone in Atlanta, and you'll learn that their public transportation is lacking. MARTA does offer bus and train service, but it's limited and unreliable. Residents’ reliance on cars brings heavy traffic, both inside and outside of the perimeter of Interstate 285. Lots of people walk around their local neighborhoods, but don't expect to walk across the 136-square mile city.

Weather

Summers in Atlanta can be brutal with high temperatures and humidity. The rest of the year is generally pleasant, with temperatures rarely dipping below freezing. It rains about 5-10 days each month, so be prepared with an umbrella or raincoat.
