    Atlanta is a remarkable metropolis. Home to iconic musicians, the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and often rivaling Hollywood and New York in art, cuisine, hip hop culture, and by being a top film and television location.
    With vibrant, diverse communities, affordable housing and a booming economy, it’s no wonder thousands of people are moving to Atlanta from all over the country. But it is a city of micro-neighborhoods… almost 250 officially defined by the City of Atlanta. However, we have chosen the Top 17 neighborhoods in Atlanta based on our research and several key factors.

    It would be nice if the moderator of this channel would acknowledge the comments about the rent prices being completely incorrect. At this point I'm starting to think these type of videos are created by people of other colors to encourage BLACK PEOPLE to move to ONE area. YOU WILL STRUGGLE IF YOU MOVE TO ATLANTA THINKING YOUR RENT WILL BE THIS LOW. Please do your research.

    The people who have a problem with Atlanta are probably people who are NOT driven and don’t understand TIME. No Atlanta is NOT as cheap as it used to be BUT it’s still cheaper than other major cities. The BLACK love and unity in Atlanta is UnMATCHED. Blacks support each other like I’ve NEVER SEEN. If you have a Trade, Skill or DRIVE then Atlanta is where you need to be. Yessss, the traffic is terrible but SO WHAT🤷🏽‍♀️ It’s not perfect but it can be PERFECT for you if you have what it takes. Don’t believe these crazy people talking down on Atlanta, they don’t get it. It took me 10 months to “GET IT” when I moved here. What I’m trying to say is, if you WANT to win here, then Atlanta is the BEST and BLESSED grounds for you to do so.🤘🏽 Everybody WINS here!

I still miss certain things about NYC of course and even though ATL is okay, I am not sure if I want to stay in GA. Things are really different once drive 45 minutes outside of Atlanta city limits lol, you don't forget that its still the Bible Belt, and still a Red state, oh and that southern hospitality is starting to fizzle out too

    At the end of the day, you need to look at your own income and your own bank account. When we as Black people freak out over higher rent and higher home prices, we are supporting the idea that all Black people are broke and that we all make $25k a year. Some of us do, but some of us make good money. Some of us make great money. I’m tired of hearing Black people say “oh that’s expensive so it’s not for Black people”. It may not be for your Black (blank) but the lower income individuals don’t speak for the whole community. We have to stop supporting the notion that “Black” means “broke” and “White” means “rich”. We don’t do ourselves any favors by supporting our stereotypes.

    I am extremely disappointed that out of 17 neighborhoods featured there was NOT ONE mention of the Cascade Corridor! The Cascade area is home to practically EVER Atlanta Mayor since Maynard Jackson, Jr. it’s home to Andrew Young, Hank Aaron, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Kandi Burris, and many other award winning music and film industry A-listers. It boosts amazing pristine neighborhoods and gated communities. It’s where “real ATLANTA natives” CHOOSE to live INSTEAD of Buckhead. As a guide for African Americans Excellence, I am so sorry that you missed he mark on this ATLANTA treasure. On second thought, actually I’m not. Let’s keep Cascade as Atlanta’s “Best Kept Secret” for as long as we can!

      These are not Black neighborhoods. Read the title carefully. It reads "Top 17 Best Atlanta Neighborhoods” not “Top 17 Best BLACK Atlanta Neighborhoods”. There is a difference. This entire video is basically click bait. I own 4 rental units in upscale neighborhoods in Atlanta. I haven't seen an upscale Black neighborhood since I started buying in 2006. There are Black neighborhoods that are being gentrified. After the poor Black people move out they are then considered "upscale". There are a few Black people doing well and living in affluent White neighborhoods, but no affluent Black neighborhoods. UA-cam really got Black Folks thinking Black people in Atlanta are prospering. I have only made it through a few cities on the list, but none of the ones listed are “Black Enclaves of Wealth”. Let’s take Ansley Park for example. Ansley Park is in Midtown and I have a home there so I know what I am talking about. The homes there are beautiful and expensive for Atlanta. I have walked through that neighborhood several times and NEVER seen a coming out of any of the homes there. I am not saying “no Black families live there”, but I am saying “I have never seen a Black family” there. This video is called “Top 17 Best Atlanta Neighborhoods” not “Top 17 Best Black Atlanta Neighborhoods”. These neighborhoods are diverse in that there are other nationalities living in these great neighborhoods like Chinese, Japanese and Indian, but most of the nicest neighborhoods are devoid of Black people. I also own a rental apartment in North Buckhead. I RARELY see black people who own homes there. They come there to party and shop, but Buckhead is for the most part not inhabited by Black people. Black people are struggling by every known metric.

      I was wondering that! Looking at the price of the residences vs rent the numbers didn't add up. And while I know there's many affluent black people in the Atlanta area, the 17 named I've only heard mentioned by some of them and not as their place of residency. I'm only familiar with a few areas like stone mountain and sandy springs and considered ATL area as a place to relocate as the cost of living is similar to my current situation.

    Excellent video but the incomes in some of these neighborhoods are from 1 person households . It also doesn’t account for passed down wealth chaste in park and Brookhaven alone are mostly multi million dollar homes . A person could make 70k a year but have 3 million dollars in the bank. There are a ton of corporate executives,entrepreneurs and entertainers in these areas. You need to make at least 200k-1million plus to affford these areas .The rents are way off as well you can’t rent a nice apartment in a nice part of Atlanta especially a 2 bedroom for under $2000 a month. Also no neighborhood in Atlanta is building new homes for under 900k townhomes are also being built for 700k to 1 million plus . I have plenty of friends and associates in these highly affluent areas. I lown a home in Alpharetta/johns creek . I’m house hunting in Brookhaven chastening park and sandy springs. By the way they are gentrifying every area inside the perimeter for upper middle class to wealthy buyers.

    I love the neighborhoods you have reviewed. I will definitely look at a few of those area in the upcoming months. The immediate draw was the close proximity of all neighborhoods reviewed to the airport, which is vital for work.

If you’re a family of 3 or more looking for a house with 2-3 levels, in North Buckhead you will pay at the least a good $1.2 mill and it can go all the way up to $15 mill at the most. All the 1 level homes are going to be anywhere between $800k - $1.8 mill

Atlanta, Georgia great place to visit,network,do business,etc,but as far as affordable housing in the city and on the outskirts of the city I will always and forever go with my city of Dallas every single time.

    Yes though this city hosts probably some of the cheapest properties for quote-unquote City Life ... all areas mentioned Apartments will start up 1100 or higher which is decent considering it's the city but the heydays of Atlanta being super affordable is LONG GONE!! When I moved to the city 8 years ago I paid under a thousand for rent. Now it's almost double..just sayin!

      Yawl say that now but your cost of living has to match your career or job, that's the problem. Our minimum wage is still $7.25 no $15.00 or double digets like Cali.

      @Jon Harris Right, I'm an ATL native and More than half of these places will land you in an apartment at that price just like you said, in the Hood like Castleberry Hills, Kirkwood, and Grant Park just to name a few. This is a set up honestly. You will not get much bang for your buck you are better off in places such as Hampton,McDonough, Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Fairburn, Powder Springs and etc.

      Living in Southwest suburban Chicago and currently paying $1580 for rent, Atlanta still sounds affordable from my perspective. Atlanta’s affordability is subjective is all I’m saying.

      @@fnihp30 You can expect to pay minimum $1400 for a 1br in most places in central Atl. The neighborhoods shown here, more like $1600. But you'll get a pretty nice place for the money.

    NO WAY the medium rent prince for North Buckhead is $1100!! You should change that to "minimum rent" for a studio apartment that is NOT in the best area of North Buckhead...

    You can tell this is a Real Estate pitch. She keeps using the word Affordable. She’s forgetting to mention affordability for around $500,00. Not to mention some of these places you are going to be dodging bullets and putting your kids in Private Schools. And that $1100 rent is a Studio Apartment.

    Did I miss something or did she forget about East Lake and East Atlanta and Edgewood(Little Five Points) area? I didn’t hear her mention them or maybe I missed her say them? Also regentrification has already started hitting THE WestEnd. Anyway she left out quite a few neighborhoods in Atlanta that are up and coming and nice
