Moving to Atlanta? Let NewCondosOnline.com help you find a condo of your choice.

Atlanta has hot, humid summers and mild winters by the standards of most of the other US cities. Like the rest of the Southeastern U.S., Atlanta receives abundant rainfall, which is relatively evenly distributed throughout the year.

The 1996 Summer Olympics at Atlanta provided major impetus to the city's infrastructure. Major construction projects improved the city's parks, sports facilities and transportation. A majority of non Atlantans closely associate the city with the airport. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the busiest airport in the world (in terms of passengers enplaned and deplaned), in no small part due to Delta Air Lines and their large Atlanta hub.

Atlanta boasts a variety of museums on subjects ranging from history to fine arts, natural history and beverages. It has the world's largest museum dedicated to the art of puppetry. Atlanta also features the Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest aquarium. The aquarium features over 100,000 specimens in tanks holding approximately eight million gallons of water. One unique museum is the World of Coca-Cola featuring the history of the world famous soft drink brand and its well-known advertising. Atlanta also has the oldest continually running ballet in the country.

Other attractions in Atlanta include the King Center (the historical Ebenezer Baptist Church and King's birthplace home are part of this center), The Fox theater (a performance venue that started off as a movie theatre) and Margaret Mitchell's house (home of the author who wrote one of the best known novels in the world, "Gone with the Wind").

The 200 mile outer perimeter expressway which encircles the Atlanta metro area is considered by urban planners to be the most important project ever undertaken in Georgia. Though expensive and controversial, it set a global pattern for controlling and enhancing the growth of metro areas. The Atlanta metro area is divided into:

• Central Metro
• East Metro
• North Metro
• South Metro
