There are almost 300 Generation Orange alumni in Atlanta… and more than 3,000 Syracuse alumni in the metro area. We’re in the Peach State, but we still bleed Orange! We’re sure you’re excited—and also a little nervous—as you embark on this next chapter of your life. Have no fear! We’ve put together this guide for you featuring tips, tricks, and advice to help you as you transition to life in Atlanta. No clue how to start the apartment hunt? We’ve got you covered! Feel like going on an adventure? No problem! Need a new Instagram foodie picture? We have plenty of suggestions on where to eat! So take a moment and skim through the pages that follow. We’re sure you’ll find something worth your while. Best of luck on your endeavors and as always, GO ORANGE! - The Generation Orange Leadership Council This guide was curated with the help of the following alumni in Atlanta: Samantha Bresnahan, Newhouse ’09 (Broadcast and Digital Journalism) - Currently: CNN Producer - Email: [email protected] Jonathan Leon, A&S/Maxwell ’11 (Political Science and African American Studies) - Currently: Regional Director - Leadership for Educational Equity - Email: [email protected] Kimberly R.

Check out what’s coming up and sign up for their mailing list here. ● Keep up with the latest and greatest news and happenings of SU in ATL on Facebook and Instagram! Apartment Hunting Tools Resources to Find Apartments • Ask your employer – There may be an internal message board or they may have some suggestions, perhaps even on people looking for roommates. • Promove - They have a very simple process and have a great feel for the city. • Consider taking a ride around different neighborhoods. Atlanta has a ton of hidden gems for housing; taking an afternoon to discover them is also a great use of time. • Grab an Airbnb for the first two weeks after moving instead of jumping into an apartment right away. • Reach out to any friends and family you have in Atlanta. • Research college student housing for apartments and Atlanta college areas for more affordable apartments. • Consider using a real estate agent to find a privately owned rental property or invest in homeownership yourself if you're ready! Things You’ll Need Before You Go Apartment Hunting • In Atlanta, location is EVERYTHING. Plot out traffic routes and even make a test run during the time you'd be driving to and from work, if there's an apartment or house you're thinking about. • Letter of Employment or Proof of Income Letter that states the length of work and annual salary. Ask for this on your first day/orientation session at your job. • Your two most recent pay stubs. If you don’t have pay stubs yet, explain that to your leasing office and the Letter of Employment should suffice. • Latest bank statements. • Copy of your photo ID or passport. • Reference letter from previous landlords are great if you can get them, but not mandatory. • At least $2000.00 in your bank account (preferably more for security deposit, one month’s rent, utilities, and furniture too!) Common Things To Know When Looking For An Apartment • Air conditioning is a must down here; most, if not all, apartment complexes have it. • Secure parking is important. • (This can’t be overstated…) TRAFFIC! Think seriously about what your commute will look like. Are you going with or against traffic? Is MARTA an option? • If you don't have a vehicle, find a place close to the MARTA lines. Bike life is the best life in Atlanta. • Ask about maintenance requests, extra discounts and benefits. Don't make hasty decisions. Don't let them talk you into putting any money down the first day unless YOU know you want it. If you can get someone to go with you to view apartments, it's a lot more enjoyable. Some of Our Favorite Neighborhoods in Atlanta Here’s what your alumni authors had to say! • “The West side” • “Places along the Beltline” • “I love the culture of Southwest Atlanta” • “East Atlanta is great, and there is also something to do.” • “If you want the feel of the city, Midtown and Buckhead are centrally located, close to parks and MARTA accessible.” • “West midtown is rapidly developing and has some housing gems in addition to artistic hipsters, great coffee shops, and a unique urban art scene.” • “Freedom Parkway, Vinings, and Riverside are all great.” • “I’d choose Chamblee, Dunwoody, or Doraville because they aren't too far out of the metro Atlanta area and these are diverse areas with great food options.” • “Inman Park has an upscale hipster community, great eateries, central to everything” • “Decatur has a cool urban art scene, traditional hipster, the square is where it's at BUT it’s further out from the heart of Atlanta.” Must Eat/Drink Places Go-To Brunch Spots • West Egg • Flying Biscuits (the white cheddar grits will change your life) • BQE • The Lawrence • Poor Calvins • Folk Art • Sun in My Belly • Bread and Butterfly • South City Kitchen • Home Grown • Others would include Java Jive, Einsteins (the patio is where it is at), Murphy's (the pastries are heaven), The General Muir (also one of the best burgers in Atlanta) • And… if you don’t do brunch, you can't go wrong with the occasional Waffle House run at 2 a.m. Lunch/Dinner with friends, maybe more casual places • South City Kitchen • Ponce City Market • Ormsby’s • Yeah Burger • Bocado • 6 Feet Under • Republic • Takorea • Atwoods • Krog St Market • Barcelona • Heirloom BBQ Market • True Food Kitchen Lunch/Dinner for a special occasion, perhaps a little more upscale • Sundial • Polaris • Ecco • Paces & Vine • Figo de Chao • 246 • Iberian Pig in Decatur Sweet Tooth • Jeni’s Ice Cream • Cafe Intermezzo • Sublime Doughnuts • Kupcakerie • Butter and Cream For A Drink or Two • Ormsby’s • Any of the local breweries, which are huge in ATL ○ Monday Night ○ Sweetwater ○ Scofflaw ○ Eventide ○ Red Brick ○ Torched Hop ○ Wild Heaven ○ 3 Taverns - very intimate setting ○ Orpheus • Hop City • Hudson Grill • Dantanna’s • There are great bars in Midtown and Edgewood too.

  • Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction
    Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction This document identifies Midtown’s goals, implementation strategies and specific action items that will ensure a rich diversity of land uses, vibrant street-level activity, quality building design, multimodal transportation accessibility and mobility, and engaging public spaces. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 is the most recent evolution of Midtown Alliance’s community driven plan that builds on Midtown’s fundamental strengths and makes strategic improvements to move the District from great to exceptional. It identifies both high priority projects that will be advanced in the next 10 years, as well as longer-term projects and initiatives that may take decades to achieve but require exploration now. Since 1997, policies laid out in Blueprint Midtown have guided public and private investment to create a clean, safe, and vibrant urban environment. The original plan established a community vision for Midtown that largely remains the same: a livable, walkable district in the heart of Atlanta; a place where people, business and culture converge to create a live-work-play community with a distinctive personality and a premium quality of life. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 builds on recent successes, incorporates previously completed studies and corridor plans, draws inspiration from other places and refines site-specific recommendations to reflect the changes that have occurred in the community since the original unveiling of Blueprint Midtown. Extensive community input conducted in 2016 involving more than 6,000 Midtown employers, property owners, residents, workers, visitors, public-sector partners, and subject-matter experts validates the Blueprint Midtown vision for an authentic urban experience. The Action Plan lives with a family of Blueprint Midtown 3.0 documents which also includes: Overview: Moving Forward with Blueprint Midtown 3.0, Midtown Character Areas Concept Plans (coming soon), Appendices: Project Plans and 5-Year Work Plan (coming soon).
