I have a friend who will be  relocating to your city and is trying to determine the best area to both live and provide in. She will be using her new place as her incall. I mentioned Ashford/Dunwoody
as a good option. She found a place she really likes in Sandy Springs. However, i spoke to one local provider and she said Sandy Springs is ok as far as LIVING, but terrible as far as PROVIDING because of LE. She wants to be near some cool hang out areas, restaurants, active night life. I
think Buckhead is actually what she is looking for, but was hoping i could get input from anyone here. Any onput would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to pm me as well.

Ashford-Dunwoody Rd, Peach-Dunwoody Rd, Chamblee-Dunwoody Rd areas are very good areas.

if you want a life.  There's more to do, more diversity, more culture, less traffic.

Your friend will likely find that where to live and where to work are not necessarily the same area.  

It all depends on her preferences - is she mainstream?  alternative? artsy?  ethnic?

For what it's worth (if anything) I knew a provider in Sandy Springs (lived & worked) a few years back that said it was high traffic w/ LE..... don't know if things changed since then....

Buchkead would probably be best in my opinion because:

1.Somewhat mostly upscale area with nice apartments and condos and locals with excess funds to play with.
2.Close to the downtown areas which is needed for easy access to the hotels,tourist market, and out of town clients.

I prefer the Perimeter / Dunwoody area over Buckhead. Buckhead can be hard to navigate and park depending on when you go. I normally just bite the bullet in Buckhead and Valet but I hate handing one of my cars over to them....LOL
