      Trendy as in lots of bars, restaurants, nightclubs... that sort of thing.

        Yes. Good enough. Trendy can mean so many things But I'll take your definition, it's OK with me.

        You know, trendy as in tons of upper fixers, some celeb bought a place so now everyone thinks it's trendy and the prices are up the roof and that's about it.

          I lived there last year, I was in the Virginia-Highlands area. I enjoyed it somewhat but I felt one's options were pretty limited without a car. That might be different in another neighborhood with more MARTA access or something, but I don't have a very high opinion of Atlanta public transit.

          The area from Highland to Little Five Points does have a lot to do; I would have done more of it had I been making any money.

            Midtown looks really nice actually. I think I have to come up with a place in... a month the latest so... I'm doing some digging. But Midtown is the first area I'm looking into and it looks decent, and it's located pretty well considering where I have to commute daily so, looks pretty good.

              You should be fine at that price point for a 1-bedroom short-term rental. As far as I know, Atlanta's not a relatively expensive place to live.

              But keep your game face on, to scare away the bad elements of the neighborhood.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                Buckhead

                $1500 should be more than enough to get a nice place. Rent doen't normally include electricity/gas/cable/internet over here, but if it is in an apartment building water is normally free.

                    This was my experience too, though I prefer Midtown to Buckhead. $1500 should be plenty.

                      Yeah I see OK things on Craigslist, but I'd like them with furniture and utilities and stuff. My stay is too short and my salary is too low to spend it buying crap and no I won't bring my stuff over there, I'm coming with few suitcases, just clothes and stuff like that.

                      Even better yet, why not have a cool loft, right? That would be cool man... we don't have lofts here. A nice loft. I can see myself naked in one of them lofts. Making my shakes, morning dances, just everything in the nude. A nice loft preferred.

                        Midtown is far more fun than Buckhead is these days. All the people who moved to Buckhead because it was trendy got older and crankier and resented the bar crowd and forced them to move (somewhat).
