There is no preference over North or South Atlanta. Both my wife and I are unfamiliar with the area except for College Park is where they chop cars.
We enjoy the outdoors, running on trails, cycling (Road and Gravel), fishing, and playgrounds for kids. Schools are important, but we also want to live somewhere where there are activities to do, restaurants, stores and is an enjoyable place to live.
SC is "Promptly Available" in "Normal Traffic"
So if you can be at the airport in 2-ish hours driving the speed limit with whatver time you need to get out of the house, you are legal.
I've taken 3-4 hours to parking lot (and another 30 to gate) for SC assignments that are "get here ASAP". Not my fault they called to the furthest airport (granted that's not an ATL thing) at peak rush hour in a snowstorm. I'll get there when I safely can. Under 100 miles is easily defensible. 120 if you are right off the interstate might be.
