I have been living in Plano, Texas (greater Dallas metro area) . I
like it here but in summer it gets extremely hot. I always wanted to
live in a vibrant city with full of life and close to ocean,mountain
or beautiful scenic area . Dallas is pretty much flat and has very few
places to visit during weekends or holidays. I am considering a job
oportunity in Atlanta, GA. I wonder how it is to live in Atlanta as
compared to Dallas. What are the nice suburbs in Atlanta that I can
live and raise a family. Your comments will be highly appreciated. |

Atlanta temperatures are comparable to Dallas, but with much more humidity. The
suburbs to the north and northwest (Roswell/Alpharetta around through Marietta
are nice areas to live.
Atlanta housing is *much* more expensive than Plano, and any commute from the
suburbs to the perimeter is absolutely murderous.
Both cities lack a downtown focus area, but at least in Dallas, you've got Fort
Worth, Austin, and San Antonio within easy driving range.
My family lived in Alpharetta for many years, then spent six years in Plano
(~Legacy and Coit), relocating to Florida last year. I'd take Dallas over
Atlanta in a heartbeat.

Atlanta isn't the only place.

Hi Rashid -- I live in Atlanta, but I've been to Dallas proper (Fort Worth,
though). That summer is was 107 in Fort Worth, and it rarely breaks 100 in
Atlanta.
It really depends on how you want to live. The northern suburbs are the "in"
place for family living (upper middle class), but intown Atlanta is a lot
more vibrant. The burbs look and act like those of any city, you probably
couldn't tell the difference. The downtown area has really changed in the
past few years -- more poeple living downtown and midtown. But if you like
the mountains, you get there fast from the northern 'burbs.
Write me off list, and I'd be glad to tell you more or answer any specific
questions.
