Best apartments for money will be in Cobb County. There are a lot of nice areas that are very reasonably priced to rent. Marrietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna are all nice middle class neighborhoods. But your travel time is going to stink (if you work in the city, you never really said travel time to where).
Dekalb is the ghetto. You can find some decent places to rent, but you probably will not like it. Your cost of living is fine, but not enough savings to make it worth renting there.
Fulton will be the highest cost of living. It is a very long county, so very diverse. Right in the city you will find expensive apartments. They can be very nice or not, depending on the area. Midtown is exceptional, south Atlanta not so much. The Moore's Milll area has nice places at a reasonable price. Obviously your commute if you work in the city will be best in town. You do not have to fight the traffic coming in. It is also better to live in and go out than vice versa. North Fulton (Sandy Springs, Alpharetta) are both very nice as well. Alpharetta is one of the most upsacle cities in the country. Cost of living is not too bad for rentals either (most want to own). My sister rents there and loves it. The traffic going into the city from here is about the worst of anywhere. Easily 1 hour + on a normal day (with an accident forget it) for about 30 miles. If you work close to there, it would be your best option. Hope this info helps.

It kinda depends on what nationality you'd like to be around. Crime is going to be anywhere, but if you're in a nice imediate neighborhood then things will be okay. Dekalb is mainly black, Fulton, it depends if it's north or south, north fulton is white, south fulton is black. I'm not sure about Cobb county. Gwinnett is a LOT of hispanics! Hope that helps, or at least I wish I knew that all BEFORE i moved here.. :0/

Cobb
I live in Kennesaw and it's a nice community.
Marietta is great and the schools are amazing.
If you're willing to look at Cherokee county, It's beautiful and property values are going up!
I travel to Northside hospital everyday and it takes me about 90 min to get to work with traffic. But of course that's about the norm anywhere in Atlanta metro

Welcome to Cobb county, you will never go wrong.
Something is a miss with the first two answerers, they dont know nothing about Cobb, its obvious they dont live anywhere near Cobb and thank G, they dont.

You would not want to live in any of those places. They are FULL of crime. Of course there are nice neighborhoods there, but there are far more not. Travel times to work will depend on what you do for a living, but those are the most downtown areas, so you should be able to find something. Cost of living is low in all of Georgia.
