Moving to Atlanta this summer, will work at Clayton State University. Seeking opinions on interesting, safe neighborhoods with no more than 30 minute commute--I'll be renting, preferably a house. Hapeville, East Point, and Decatur have been recommended, also Virginia Highlands. Any other recommendations? I'm a single, straight, professional woman, 40s, liberal. Thanks for any recommendations or heads-up on areas to avoid!

I would pretty much avoid most of Clayton County (Jonesboro, Riverdale) to live. That county has gone downhill pretty quickly. Some people on here have mixed reviews about East Point and College Park, but I have heard of people who like it and find safe places to live.

Do you want to live within or near the city of Atlanta? Or would suburbs work? You could live in Stockbridge (southeast of Morrow) and have a pretty quick commute. If you want to live inside 285, then I think that East Atlanta Village would be a good area, although be warned - there is no real reverse commute, especially the return trip. The Downtown Connector can be packed both ways.
