There are a lot of great places, but since you're on the internet your best bet is to use that resource.   There are a lot of great sites listed below that my friend in Atlanta said he used when he was looking for a place.   Most of the big apartment complexes have websites or can be viewed from the web.   There are also a lot of condos, houses and townhouses for rent too.   \n\nJust remember the following:\n1.  The closer in town you are, the more the rents will be, especially in the Buckhead, Sandy Springs area and less but still expensive in the Roswell and Alpharetta and Dunwoody areas.\n2. The most desirable locations are in the north of the city, the least in the south.\n3. Atlanta does get cold in the winter though nothing like what you're used to.   Still, it does go below freezing for a few weeks in the winter and usually snows about once a year on average.

Dad was stationed there twice when I was a kid. The folks are retired outside of Columbus, GA now. There isn't a lot to do in the imediate area. But its a nice place to head to the beach from on the weekends. Atlanta is nice if you like big southern city life. If you have been there for schools then you know all about Victory Drive. Girl friend? Yep you really need to stay off VD drive. If you like fishing and outdoors stuff its not a bad place. If you or her are party animals..... go somewhere else. I grew up in the infantry, I can tell you that you don't want to go to Polk, Irwin or Drum. Best places were Italy, <---- best post oconus,  West Point, Fort Ord (when it was open) and Fort Sam Houston, TX <--- best post conus.

Gwinnett County is probably the best school district to teach in. It's approx. 30 min. from Atlanta and 45 min. from Athens. If you visit the county school website, I'm sure you can see all of the information you'd want.

Jay- You may want to try the local newspaper. http://www.nola.com there is a section on housing and I agree housing is going to be tight. Perhaps your new employer has some contacts.\n\nGood luck and I think you will be busy for years. Thanks for playing a role in the rebuilding the city is worth it.

Check with the New York Department of Education.  They have a web site you can go to.  You can also contact the city you are moving to.  Most School Districts now have web sites available.

If you have to move to stay safe, then get yourself going. Don't worry about the new school you'll be attending. It only takes a couple of weeks to get used to anything new, and I'm sure you'll make a couple of friends by then. I had to move a lot when I was young and I really hated it. Just when I got used to things, my parents would tell me to pack my stuff and we'd move again...six months here, a year there. I went to 5 different schools. But, I do have to say that the last move I made was for the best. We lived on the south side of Chicago and things were getting really bad. I'm so very glad we moved, moving over 200 miles north. It made me relax quite a bit, and I even did better in school, not having to worry about anyone hassling me after school. So, don't worry, little one, things will work out. Especially since it seems your family wants a better life than what they have in your current neighborhood. These things have a way of turning out much better than you could ever imagine. <*)))><

Do a search for Section 8 housing.  Or go to an apartment locator service in your city and ask them about section 8.

It all has to do with your life style. We are an ARMY family.  Fort Sam was fun when it was just the two of us, Lots of music and shopping.  Fort Huachuca was great ,it is a small community with a great High School and close to shopping in Nogales, Mexico; not too many deployments and a good post hospital.  Fort Gordon, GA is 2 hours from Atlanta, lots of restaurants in town, very humid, elementary school on post is really good. Sadly Middle school is very scary and better consider private school instead. Fort Bliss too big, need lots of gas, town very crowded and shopping is expensive, the heat is incredible. Fort Polk is very lonely with an extra tiny town around, nothing to do. Fort Campbell, stay away from it and Fort Stuart those post are very high on deployments to Iraq. I've never been to Fort Carson but I heard is beautiful.  Hope I helped a bit. Remember no matter where you go, the most important thing is that you are together.

I am from a small community outside of Big Spring, it is called Lenorah.  Big Spring schools aren't very good.  Lenorah has a six man 1a school---Grady ISD.  They accept transfers.  It is an exemplerary school district, which means it has gone beyond Texas standards on testing.  Trust me, you don't want to live in Big Spring, it is dirty and has a lot of crime.   Big Spring, Stanton, and Lenorah are all within 15 minutes of each other.  You won't find very many retail jobs if that is what you are asking about.  But, the oil business is really booming down here (I live in Midland now, it's a great town, and the closest big town to Big Spring besides Lubbock).  All the oil companies are in need of secretaries and record keepers.  The Big Spring paper is called the Herald and you can look at jobs and houses for rent in the classifieds.  Houses cost more to rent now with the oil boom and all.But Big spring will be cheaper to live than Midland, but I urge you not to move there.  Lenorah has a few houses to rent, but you have to know who to ask and it is in the country (I don't know if you are used to that)  Stanton has a few too, and they will be listed in either the Herald, Martin county messenger, or Midland County Reporter Telegram.  Here are the websites.  Good luck!  Oh and there is a smaller school outside of Big Spring (still in Howard county) called Forsan ISD.  It is way better than the Big Spring schools.  I don't know if they take transfers or if you have to be in their district.

Denton, Fort Worth and the surrounding area like Colleyville, North Richland Hills, Lake Worth, etc. If your looking for a smaller town try Weatherford, Stephenville, Crowley, Cleburne or Burleson. Good luck and \nWELCOME TO TEXAS!!
