Atlanta Ranked Best City for Singles

Welcome back!

Forbes Magazine ranked the best cities for singles last Fall and Atlanta came in at #1 for the first time ever. Many different factors were analyzed to put us in this coveted top position, but one thing that put us over the top was our sizzling job growth. Atlanta is home to many Fortune 500 companies including Home Depot, UPS and, of course, Coca-Cola. With so many big corporations populating the city, mid-size and small companies follow suit. Thus, Atlanta is packed full of job opportunities and new careers.

Job growth, of course, is not the only thing that makes us great for singles. Our cost of living alone is incredibly affordable, and, because of this attribute, we have a high number of singles in the city (27% of our population).

And, with such a high number of singles, it makes perfect sense that we have a happening nightlife to keep things interesting. In addition to this criteria, Forbes also looked at coolness, culture and online dating as contributing data for the rankings. While 2008 was the first year that Atlanta was ranked #1, in the eight years of the list’s existence, only once has Atlanta been out of the top 10.

Without a doubt, Atlanta is the place for singles. Since we have such a high singles population, we know how to cater to their lifestyle. Thus, Atlanta has many housing opportunities ideal for singles.

There are many areas that are popular places for singles to live in Atlanta, but certainly some top spots include Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Virginia Highland and Vinings.
