Atlanta...cosmopolitan hub of the South

Those not from the A.T.L. (as locals call it) generally conjure up pictures of peaches, Coca-Cola, beyond humid summers and even Gone with the Wind when thinking about the metropolitan center of the South. But Atlanta offers something for everyone.

Atlanta is home to tons of businesses (ranking third in cities with the most Fortune 500 company HQs), great shopping and neighborhoods to suit anyone’s style. From artsy Cabbagetown to intellectual Toco Hills to hoppin’-all-night Buckhead, there’s nowhere more diverse below the Mason-Dixon line.

Hosting the 1996 Olympic Games gave a much-needed boost to Atlanta's downtown ’hoods, where you can now find some of the city’s most exclusive residences and plenty of Atlanta apartments for rent. Other post-Olympic benefits are the city’s stellar sports arenas including Turner Field and the Georgia Dome.

While driving throughout Atlanta can be difficult (every other street starts with Peach-) residents can easily transition between downtown Atlanta and the suburbs, where many return home to at night. And no matter where you go, Atlanta lives up to its reputation as a "city of trees.”

It’s not just sports fans and hip hop artists calling Hotlanta home. Foodies rejoiced when famed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten opened Spice Market Atlanta and Jeffrey Chodorow opened Maxim Prime, adding some star power to Atlanta’s already tasty restaurant scene.

Whether you want to eat, drink or be merry, Atlanta offers it all. Just leave the Pepsi behind.
