Hope your job has you in Roswell/Alpharetta! They are nice areas but the worst traffic in Atlanta, and at least 30 minutes from the clubs with out traffic but at night you should not have a problem with traffic only commuting to work. Oh and a lot of cops to pull you over so clubbing, you have to be careful and a taxi is not cheap from out there.
I second the promove thing. I used it a while back and they found an apartment that I didn't know about. So it was worth the time. But if you can, look inside the perimeter and drive out to Roswell/Alpharetta, don't go further outside the city then your job! Just a little advice on the traffic I am sure anyone who knows the 400 corridor can tell you it sucks. Also I would get a short lease at first until you know the area. Personally I would move back to Vinings in a second. Quick drive into the city and plenty of other roads to take if 75 is jammed up. But no quick route to Roswell/Alph
Good luck!
BTW this is advice from some one who is living further out side the city then Roswell, maybe not Alpharetta though but I have worked in Alpharetta so I know the traffic there well enough to know all the surface street ways around the gridlock. Currently residing in Suwanee, working in Buford :( |

| Live near Lennox Park. Split the difference for both work or play, and it's a nice area. I use to live at Windsor @ Lennox Park. They were really nice apartments and my drive to Norcross or Alpharetta (depending on which location I needed to work at that day) wasn't too bad. |

| 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!
