    #21 Best Cities to Live in America

    Current Resident: I have really enjoyed Sandy Springs! It is just a short drive from Atlanta populated with anything from families, to up and coming young professionals. There is something for everyone here. My personal favorite thing to do is visit some of the community parks and nature areas. VERY well-kept and safe for everyone.

    #44 Best Cities to Live in America

    Current Resident: I have been living in Atlanta for 18 years now and I absolutely love it! Atlanta is filled with many opportunities and it is very affordable to live there. There are many places to visit and its restaurants are amazing. Not to mention it's fun parks and museums in which I visit every so often. Atlanta has a variety of malls and shops to go to like Lenox Mall, Phipps Plaza, Atlantic Station, etc. The Mercedes Benz Stadium is one of my favorites, they hold all kinds of events there and the view inside the stadium is beautiful. Atlanta is also very diverse, it's very different from any other city I've visited. It's also a great city to go to if you're looking for jobs, because the networking there is extraordinary, you will always run into someone that's in the industry or career field you want to go in.
