Midtown Atlanta is an exciting place to live. It has culture, entertainment, beautiful neighborhoods, excellent schools and a very short commute time to almost every other part of Atlanta. So, now that you know you might want to live there, how do you find real estate that suits your needs?
Find a neighborhood.
Within Midtown, you will find several inviting neighborhoods with tree-lined streets, both new and historic homes and friendly neighbors. As a matter of fact, many real estate websites divide Midtown properties by neighborhood, so knowing which ones you like the most can help narrow your search. Maybe Lake Claire fits with your budget or maybe you love the older homes in Ansley Park. Maybe you just want to ensure you live within the Morningside Elementary School district.
Get online.
Once you know where in Midtown you want to live, start searching real estate websites for homes in those neighborhoods. Most sites allow you to narrow your search by price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, type of property and amenities. Some may even let you search within so many miles of your desired location. Keep in mind that in addition to single-family homes, Midtown is home to some of the most appealing condos in Atlanta.
Go for a Drive
If you live close enough to Midtown to check it out in person, take some time and do it. You can look at all of the websites in the world, but you cannot truly experience something until you visit. You may feel like Piedmont Heights is too close to the expressway or you may fall in love with Virginia Highland‘s streets. Have a meal at a local restaurant and get to know some of your potential neighbors.
Find a real estate agent.
When you are serious about buying and have an idea of what you are looking for, let a qualified real estate agent take over. He or she is probably far more familiar with Midtown and its listings than you are, and they can take you right to some potential new homes. He or she may also be able to suggest homes or neighborhoods that you did not initially thing about. For example, if you love the outdoors, your agent might point out that Morningside-Lenox Park sits right next to Piedmont Park and even has its own nature preserve.
