Hi, let me introduce myself to you:

My name is Chuck and I'll be starting at GA Tech in the Fall. Orignally from California, in the San Francisco Bay Area (Oakland).

My parents want to buy a house in the ATL metro area, but we're not sure how the market is because we're relocating all the way from California. We're wondering what's some good neighborhoods to look out for. Our budget is less than 200k. We've looked at Gwinnett County and thought that was a good place to start. Any ideas? BTW, we're asian and my parents want somewhere that's not too far from the asian malls and stuff.

So far, I've used realtor.com and realestate.yahoo.com to look for housing. The prices are a big change compared to Cali! Cali's prices are 500k-600k for a small condo in a converted industrial zone! That's why we're moving to the ATL!

Thank you in advance!

Oh and another question, Do I need a Georgia driver's license to drive or can I use my California one? Are there local websites that lists classifieds for sale?
