DH has an opportunity to relocate to Atlanta for a few years. Job comes with nice house in the northern suburbs, and I can keep up my part-time consultancy work remotely.
Don't really have a feel for the city at all, but I'm a little concerned about feeling isolated (ie relying on a car to get around everywhere / not just being able to walk to the shops or park / not really having an opportunity to meet other local parents etc). I also understand that the state/ public schools locally aren't great (and I currently have no idea about admissions requirements) and paying for private (initially just for DS1 (4), but later also for DS2) wouldl be a stretch.
Does anyone have any views on Atlanta / what it might be like to live there with kids? Or alternatively what it's like living in the suburbs of any other major US city?
If it were New York, San Fransisco or Boston, I don't think I'd hesitate...
