Atlanta
Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Atlanta.
City Overview
Atlanta is the business, logistics and media center of the US Southeast — home to Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, UPS and the birthplace of CNN. Hartsfield-Jackson is the world’s busiest airport. The city pairs a booming film industry ("Hollywood of the South") with civil-rights history (the home of Martin Luther King Jr.). Living and housing costs are relatively affordable and it is leafy and green — Georgia’s economic center and a gateway of the South.
