Hi everybody,

my husband and I are moving from France to Atlanta, GA in early September and will live there for a year. We are looking for communal living areas that we could join in the city. We are currently living with 13 other people in a big house where we work collectively on different projects and would love to find something similar in the US.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Don't listen to that guy, I get what he's saying but theres actually a lot of really great things going on in Atlanta, communal and otherwise. I can put you in touch with somebody who could lead you in the right direction.

Well I mean, one of those is basically just a small apartment for almost 1500 a month. I've seen these pop up, more often around Athens and Savannah, you really need to watch out.

@blank I agree totally - that sample 'communal residence' above looks like a bad deal dressed up in a whole lotta fancy bullshit.... and it looks nothing like any commune I've ever been to - usually it's everyone living together in one big shared property, not lots of individual expensive apartments - and absolutely no mention of the meetings every 5 minutes to discuss 'issues' that happen in most housing co-ops ! it's basically a property speculators idea of a commune !

Greetings and welcome! Tell us more: a 1-year gig in Atlanta - what's it all about? My agenda being I may be in Atlanta September visiting my uncle (retired, divorced - a doctor of music, he taught at Université Grenoble Alpes) and he might be willing to house a couple for a year...

Hi Juan! I'll be in Atlanta for a year as a Fulbright scholar to do field study. I'm a PhD candidate working on the return migration of African-Americans to the SOuth of the country ans more particularly in Atlanta. Please let me know about your uncle! My husband and I were looking for communes but we are open to different options too!
