Everyone comes in with their own idea of what Atlanta is. But when you live here—when you’re part of this place—you know Atlanta isn’t any one thing.
Yes, it's a bustling job market complete with Fortune 500 corporations, startup incubators, world-leading financial tech, and nonstop film and TV production.
But it’s also serene, walkable neighborhoods. It’s seven major sports teams and their rabid fan bases. It’s also the lifetime bonds formed within cycling clubs, softball teams, and improv troupes.
Because coming here isn’t about choosing a job. It’s about making a home. And so you dig deeper, and you see the hundreds of thousands of acres of parks and trails. You see the array of neighborhoods, each with its own pace and style. You see the dozens of breweries and distilleries. You see the culture and diversity.
There’s somewhere for everyone in the 29 counties of metro Atlanta. Chill, walkable neighborhoods full of unique shops. Modern apartments close to music venues and restaurants. And nature that’s always close at hand. Whether you want to commute by bike, car, skateboard, golf cart, or railcar, Atlanta is where you belong.
Home to some of the metro’s most-loved suburbs, scenic countryside, and most diverse communities in the U.S., the northeast metro packs in a lot. From top jobs in tech and award-winning global cuisine to mountain-view wineries, waterfalls, and roadside boiled peanuts, you’ll find something for every taste and style.
Crisp air. Rolling hills. Winding rivers and the mountains just a few miles up the road? These are just some of the reasons we love the northwest metro—and why so many companies do, too. Home to HQs from Mercedes-Benz (minutes from the Chattahoochee River) to TK Elevator (with ballpark views as an added perk) the northwest metro puts natural beauty, culture, and top career opportunities right outside your door.
Spanning hundreds of neighborhoods—including 242 within Atlanta’s city limits alone—the central metro is home to communities of every pace and style. Want to work at a top tech company but live on a lake? Check out Brookhaven. Come home to a Victorian mansion, then head out to a punk show down the street? Try Inman Park. Want to keep chickens but ditch owning a car? Grant Park’s got you covered. Whatever your style, you’ll find a community where you belong.
If you’re a fan of charming small towns with easy access to the city—and a head start to the beach—Southeast metro Atlanta is where you belong. Here you can find opportunities at major companies like General Mills and Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and enjoy convenient trips to the ATL airport (perfect for a career in aerospace, or a weekend getaway).
From rolling pastures to gorgeous forests, rivers, and waterfalls, the Southwest metro’s got natural beauty in spades. But that doesn’t mean you’ll run short on excitement, because this area is also home to major movie studios, ample opportunities in wellness, hospitality, and the arts—and the epicenter of U.S. Soccer.

There’s the BeltLine walking and cycling path that circles the city, lined with shops and restaurants. But there are also natural wonders like the Chattahoochee River trails, the rapids at Sweetwater Creek State Park, and the rocky, alien landscape of Arabia Mountain.
