    Hello to the ATL! I'm new here from NJ and will be arriving on Monday. Looking for a place in Decatur to live in. I won't have my car until maybe Tuesday so I'l have to figure out a way to get around Decatur to look at residences. Anyone free that day? :rofl:

    I'll be attending law school at Emory so if anyone's around the area, let me know! I'll definitely be down to head to any meets or autox. I don't know anyone in the ATL area so I was hoping to say what's up to my worldwide Subaru community :wavey:

    Absolutely I will pay for gas for anyone. That's not even a question. And maybe we can grab food somewhere, too. My dime. Just don't have expensive tastes :rofl:

    If there's anyone closer, so it would be less of a hassle, that would be great.

    Thanks for the offer! That's a big relief.

    I live in Decatur! Welcome! I don't know what you are looking for to live in (house, condo, ect.) but if you are thinking an apartment or a townhouse, I recommend checking out The Gables at Rock Springs. Not the cheapest place, but it is safe, quiet, close to Emory and has 3 pools and 2 gyms.

    Leasing Office:
    550 Rock Springs Ct NE
    Atlanta, GA 30306
    (404) 872-1111

    Lemme know if you need any more help. Welcome!

    Welcome AJ! Hope you find a good spot when you move down here to attend Emory. Check out the g2g section as there is always something going on....maybe not in Decatur but not too far from there either. Again welcome!

    Berzerklo: Thanks. I've been working with a company trying to find places, viewing them online, picking out which ones I like, and checking them all out in one day. After that, just picking the one I want and signing the lease. Hopefully that will go well.

    I've taken a liking to the following: Archstone at Decatur Crossing, Avery Glen, Clarion, Jackson Square, Orleans of Decatur, and Gables Montclair.

    I will have to check out Rocksprings, too. Thank you! Gables looks really nice. As for rent, well, I'm from NJ and these prices are a bargain to me :p

    nsvwrx, FkUiHdCncr: Thank you!

    Welcome to the site and to Atlanta. Unfortunately, class starts for me on Monday or else I'd likely be able to help. Congrats on law school and definitely check out the g2g's for future gatherings.

    This site gives very accurate information. I should have checked it prior to moving into the complex I am at now. I used Pro Move and they were misleading at best.

    There is a pretty nice community right across from the VA hospital on Clairmont, 2 minute drive from Emory. I lived there when I first moved down here. Can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it is literally right across from the VA hospital.

    I want to send a big thanks out to Sean, oneiguy, for everything he did for me yesterday. He picked me up from the airport, took me around to view a few residences, and gave me advice on finding a place.

    I never had to go find my own place before and he was a tremendous help. He was even trying to negotiate with the realtor for me, haha. Awesome, awesome guy. And he has a wonderful daughter as well.

    I'm glad to be a part of this community. If I can contribute half as much as Sean did for me, I'll be sure to cure cancer. I also am going to try to make the gokarting on Monday night.

    Thanks for everything again. Really glad to be here and have a group of guys I can turn to, since I know no one in this city. Feel free to hit me up for anything as well.

    Oh, by the way, I ended up at Gables at Rock Springs. The online reviews for management were awful but I figured that won't be a huge deal. Turns out I'm already having problems as they said the place would be ready by 12 PM today (cleaned, new carpets in) and wasn't by 12:30. Incompetence. Well, hopefully it works out.

    Gables Montclair had no available places, and it's far too expensive. Avery Glen was great and extremely affordable, but had nothing until October 1, not to mention the power lines running over your roof.

    Welcome to the community, we dont have any other Emory members off the top of my head. However there's a good cadre of us over here at Tech so you'll see some of us driving around that side of town on occasion.
