While the job market and the airport is great about ATL, I have to say the traffic, public schools, crime, etc are not great. Expensive housing as well, maybe not terrible compared to some places, though. Moving outside the perimeter doesn't help on the traffic front either. The south in general seems like a stable job market and place to buy a house for the decades ahead. However, it seems like Atlanta shifted from being a fast growing area to moderate growth a while ago.
