Jasmine Apartments

Atlanta’s Affordable Apartment Communities

Leasing a home for a year can help you make an informed homebuying decision.

By Molly Dickinson

Now more than ever, looking for a new apartment to call home means finding that perfect balance of location, lifestyle and lease. If you’ve all but given up hope when it comes to putting your signature on a spacious, fashionable apartment in a community full of opportunities, Atlanta wants you to know: We’re waiting for you.

Known as the Capital of the South, Atlanta has more Fortune 500 companies, entertainment, shopping and dining destinations and a growing list of green spaces than you can shake a stick at. Yet, a comparable apartment from which to enjoy all the fruits of the Peach City in, say, the Big Apple would cost you over four times as much. In San Francisco, that number is more than two and half times the Atlanta price tag; and in cities like Chicago and Washington, D.C., you’ll still pay double or more.

So go ahead, pocket the extra change you’ll save on everything from gas to gym memberships, and send that other city a postcard from your fabulous new apartment right here in Atlanta. In these communities, balancing location, lifestyle and lease is a win-win-win situation.
