Apartment Living in Georgia
With a growing population of nine million, Georgia is the 10th largest state in the U.S. Within its 59,441 square miles of beautiful landscape, the state is famous for its coastal plains and breathtaking beaches, its fertile soil and rich agricultural history, foothills and rugged Appalachian Mountains, and the Chattahoochee River's clear and rolling waters.
Georgia's moderate climate is a main attraction for those looking for an apartment. The temperatures average below 88 in the summer months and well above the freezing mark at a low of about 50 degrees in the winter. The Greater Caucasus Mountain Range protects the state from the colder masses of the north while the Lesser Caucasus Mountains shield the rest of the region from the south's hot air masses.
Throughout recent history, agriculture and tourism have been the state's major source of economic income. Unfortunately, the state has seen times when at least half of the population lived below the poverty line. Nowadays, this is a title that state is happy to report is dropping considerably as it becomes more devoted to services as opposed to agriculture. Nicknamed the "Peach State", the economy is finally growing and 15 Fortune 500 companies now call this state home. This resurgence is making employment and apartments more ample especially in Georgia's larger cities.
Atlanta Apartments
Atlanta is Georgia's largest city and the state's capital. Nearly half a million residents call this city home. In recent years the metropolitan area has grown a remarkable 20 percent.

The skyline is filled with high-rise and mid-rise buildings. The tallest landmark is the Bank of America Plaza, which is the tallest building in the U.S. outside of Chicago and New York City.

The average apartments rent for around $900.

Savannah visitors and residents alike come to soak in the city's Southern charm, architecture, history, dinning, art, and live jazz and blues.
