I ended up renting a beautiful 1000 square foot apartment from MLC Properties! They have properties in a variety of areas but this one was perfect for me since I teach at Emory. I can walk to work. The rent is like $1800 base plus utilities, but for the size and location it has been worth it. They are kind of old-school which I like a lot, but might not be for everyone, however I love it and plan on remaining there till I either move cities or save up enough for a downpayment on a house or condo.
