PTC is the best place for that.
We're not even dead-set on ATL. We're still having an internal family debate between commuting, ATL and SLC. We want the living conditions of SLC, the job flexibility of ATL (along with the never move again guarantee), and the school stability of SAT

.If you choose SLC and you are Mormon no problems. I lived there for 10 years. If you are not Mormon pay attention again to where you live. Each HS has a ward house next door and that is where most after school activities take place. Your kids can end up excluded from many things. If you head up to heathanville(Park City) that will not be a issue but houses are not cheap.
If you are non Mormon and want to live in the valley get a good non Mormon real estate agent. The areas in the valley can very a lot on how your children will be accepted. A good agent will get you to the better options.
If you have anyone who has annoyed you lately visit the Temple and sign their name and address in the guest book!
Keep one last thing in mind. If you live in the west a 6 AM departure from a Eastern airport really sucks. If you live in the east a 6 AM west coast departure is a non event.

Bite the bullet, move to ATL. Plenty of places to live. I'm on the south side of town. Twenty-five/Thirty minutes to the parking lot. Fayette and Coweta counties have decent schools. We are well air-conditioned. You will get used to the humidity. My wife wanted to leave Park City because it was too dry.

Sailingfun is making some good points. Schools are very good in East Cobb and the typical drive to the Atlanta Airport is about 30 to 35 minutes. I give myself an hour and have never been late; even on those inevitable days when a passport or ID gets someplace it isn't supposed to be.
Schools are all 9+ ... Cobb County is well managed, has reasonable taxes, good quality of life and is kinda in the middle of the stuff to do (lakes, mountains, city, shopping, new Braves stadium, etc...) Prices run $250k for "meh" to $500k for "wow, what a house!" The good deals are pretty much gone. The area is a stable and appreciating market.
As a junior guy I might not try to live in Tennessee, but I hear a lot of good things about life along the river from Knoxville to Chattanooga.

<------ You will have to buy one of these too, drink Jack Daniels with Coke ONLY on football Saturdays (only with ice the rest of the time) and learn the words to Rocky Top. And remember, if you kill it with your car, it is perfectly legal to take it home and put it on the grill.
I really really miss East Tennessee.

Well there you have it. The perfect answer to the man's question. If you don't like the neighborhood, just untie and float downstream. By the time you get too far down stream you are senior enough to afford a motor.
All the way around to just this side of Gatlinburg is pretty close to what I think would be great. Lots of little airports and flying activity too, if you're into that sort of thing.
