Best Rental Finds in Atlanta, GA – for Nature Lovers and Urban Dwellers Alike

Set in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Atlanta is a major node in the global economic system in the area, with significant impact on finance, research, technology, art and commerce. Accordingly, more than three quarters of the Fortune 1000 companies carry business operations out of this city.

This is one reason why the downtown area of Atlanta has been booming with new apartment buildings, new restaurants, and other revival turns at the neighborhood level. Home to a Historic Business District, many theatres and art centers (Midtown Atlanta), as well as military bases, Atlanta has something to offer no matter who you are and what you like.

For renters, there are quite a few great places to rent, both downtown, and in the surrounding neighborhoods. Here are our best rental finds in Atlanta at below average prices:
