    I gotta disagree with Decaf.... I've lived in Atlanta for about 5 years now, and there's not much I can think of that would make me move OTP (outside the perimeter). To each his own, but please, please take warnings to "avoid such and such at all costs" with a grain of salt. As a single female, I live in an area with a less than stellar rep near downtown Atlanta, but I've never had any issues with crime or felt unsafe. There are so many really great neighborhoods in this city! I recommend checking out Candler Park, Inman Park, Oakhurst, Decatur, Grant Park, Cabbagetown/Reynoldstown, Kirkwood, Edgewood, West Midtown, etc. The trick is to visit these places, look around the area, take note of things like abandoned buildings, if people are loitering in areas, etc. Talk to the neighbors and ask about their experiences. If you find a neighborhood you like, ask for input on it in a forum like this one. And, of course, use common sense and take basic safety precautions: be aware of your surroundings, don't take unnecessary risks, get an alarm system and/or dog, etc. But if you're going to school at GSU or Tech or Emory, you don't want to live OTP; the commute will not be fun and you'll miss out on all this great city has to offer. At least, that's my two cents.
