Living in Atlanta or Dallas?

Question

What is the cost of living like in Atlanta? I hear its cheap and I also hear it is expensive. How much would an apartment be within 4 miles of the city? Or a house? Same with Dallas, is it expensive and how much would apartment rent be, or a house both within 4 miles of the city? Oh and the neighborhoods don't have to be nice, just semi-decent. Thanks!

Answer 1

Both are fun cities. I like Atlanta better. Climate is nice and it is a fun town. Lots of things to do. Apartments in Atlanta are probably anywhere from $600 to $900. The city isn't too expensive. You have public transportation (MARTA) and should be able to get a job pretty easy.
