On the north side, east cobb county is good. Three great school districts there (Walton, Pope, Lassitter HS). I live in the Lassitter district and love it. A little further to the airport than south side and a bit more traffic , but I'm closer to the lake and closer to the mountains. South side is plenty nice. Just too flat for me. You'll get as many opinions as ATL pilots, so my advice would be to rent for 6 mo. to 1 yr. until you get a feel for the area. PM me if you want any north side info. Welcome!
