Atlanta sits among the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, giving it a topography unlike most major Southern cities, with rolling hills, tree-lined streets, and some of the densest urban tree coverage in the country. The Georgia capital has a metro population of more than 6.4 million people, yet its neighborhoods manage to feel surprisingly close-knit. Buckhead draws shoppers and diners, Midtown anchors the arts scene, and Old Fourth Ward has become one of the most talked-about areas in the city for food and outdoor space. The city hosts a number of annual events and festivals, including the Atlanta Dogwood Festival held each spring at Piedmont Park.

Renters in Atlanta will find a solid mix of housing styles, from high-rise apartment communities in Midtown and Downtown to lofts in converted historic buildings, townhomes in quieter neighborhoods, and mid-rise communities spread across the broader metro.
