    "Easy breezy! Even in the worst rush hour traffic I can still make it back home rather easily. I take Uber or lift to work but even if I drive there I can make it to work in 35 minutes or less. Since this is an older established neighborhood, I know that the likelyhood of apartments or multi-use aprtments being built is slim. This means that the traffic patterns won’t change that much"

    "Living in Carlyle Heights is like living in the suburbs - we do not hear traffic noise with all the trees acting as buffers. Affordable and offers all the the amenities of midtown living - Piedmont Park, BeltLine, walk to stores, shops, restaurants, bike - a great place to live."
