I am working in Roswell, Ga and am trying to find a place to live. I have been renting in Buckhead as I wanted to get a feel for Georgia and the city, as well as not having ridicules commute back and forth from work. It currently takes me 30min to drive from Buckhead to Roswell (unless it rains or there is an accident!) I am now looking to purchase and have seen many areas, Virginia Highlands, Vinings, and so forth. The only problem with those areas is the commute is Unbearable. 1-2 hours. I like buckhead but wanted to have more options; are there some other locations were I could find neighborhoods with young professionals. That is not too bad of a commute from Roswell, Ga. I am 26 and am not ready for a family oriented town like Roswell!!

Thanks
Michael

I'll be frank. How much money do you have?

All the advice here is moot without your budget information and desire. Single family? Condo? Townhouse? See other threads in this forum on condos and townhomes. Trend real estate date. I am 26, I bought a SFH last year near East Lake. Arguably I should have waited, but then this house may not be for sale, so I Don't look at it that way....you may have the nice benefit of depressed prices plus low interest rates, but don't get caught up in it.

People our age rush to buy often times, but remember - you will most likely have to sell this place too, think about that. And let us know your budget.
