Overview of various Atlanta neighborhoods?

Hello, I'm an out of state investor considering buying some buy-and-hold properties in the greater Atlanta area. Being out of state, my knowledge of Atlanta is quite limited, and I'm hoping to get a better sense of the neighborhoods.

Are there any good neighborhood guides to Atlanta or other resources that show crime rate, population growth, home values, etc of various cities and towns nearby?

Thanks so much for your help.

@Travis Raila Welcome to our market!  As far as neighborhood guides, I don't know of one source, but here are a couple of resources that might be helpful.  

  • Atlanta Regional Commision  --> atlantaregional.org
  • Atlanta Beltline --> beltline.org
  • Trulia - for crime stats once you've targeted a couple of neighborhoods

Depending on the type of properties you seek, Metro Atlanta has a wide array of options.  

One thing to keep in mind, is transportation.  While we have some opportunities with our mass transit, unlike California, IMO, Metro Atlantans have not come to readily accept 2+ hour commutes.  For example, "close to work" for us is more like a 20 minute drive, where "close to work" in CA might be under a 90 minute drive.

Hope this helps and again welcome!
