I live in Atlanta and some of the things it said here are inaccurate mainly due to “revitalization” of many of these areas. Others are just plain inaccurate. Even the rent figures are wrong for the city. You claimed 1200? Try 14-1500. Where did you get your information? Please do not trash my city if you don’t know anything about it. Especially if you live in Oregon currently. Especially if you only did internet research. Everything you find on the internet isn’t true. And based on your criteria of price why isn’t buckhead, vinings, Druid hills, north Atlanta, Brookhaven, sandy springs, Dunwoody, pill Hill, mid town on your list for prohibitive pricing? East Atlanta, Virginia highlands, Edgewood for crime? Back in 2010 the rent was 1500 in Dunwoody for a 2br. Lord knows what it is now. Point is, people will hang on your recommendations and you’re painting a very bad picture for the city based on internet research. If there was any proof you actually visited Atlanta, and these were your thoughts and recommendations it could be said that you have a bias since the areas here are predominantly minority areas to the exclusion of areas that have similar issues that are not predominantly minority residents. Sure the “internet says” but you can’t argue with objective fact. Internet reports are usually highly subjective presented in an objective manner. So whenever you are in Atlanta look me up and I can show you the areas you mentioned and the areas you missed. And stop listening to everything you find on the internet for Christ’s sake.

There are two sides to Cascade : the hood side and the rich side.

You have to actually be from the hoods of Atlanta to know the true depths of their culture . You can’t just go by what you see on the internet. I grew up on Cascade Ave which isn’t really Cascade Heights but for some reason they keep confusing us with the other side (the rich side)

Thank you for attempting to provide us with your top 10 worst neighborhoods in Atlanta. Online resources probably made it difficult to check for overall accuracy. That video you linked in with Bankhead is actually my video of Bankhead Court and it was shot in 2010. Bankhead Court was a good few miles and several neighborhoods down from the Bankhead Ave neighborhood that you mentioned in the video. I can see Pittsburgh, Mechanicsville, Grove Park, Adamsville, Oakland City and Bankhead making the list. Adair Park crime probably is spill over from Pittsburgh and Mechanicsville where the boundaries are blurred. The fact that English Avenue also known as the Bluff and Vine City weren't mentioned surprises me because they would be 2 out of the top 3 worst in my list, although they are getting better. I think Lakewood Heights, Campbellton Road (actual name of neighborhood), Dixie Hill...etc would all be considered worse than Cascade Heights. Cascade Heights is pretty affluent....a little unemployment rate doesn't really accurately portray that neighborhood as bad when violent crime and poverty are so much worse in other neighborhoods not mentioned.

Even though they have had the most dangerous neighborhoods, The reason why big cities like Chicago, LA, Miami, Houston haven’t showed up on most dangerous lists is because, unlike small cities where non violent civilians drive from the suburbs to work,,... big cities have a bunch of non violent civilians living by their jobs downtown and compensate for the numbers of violent neighborhoods on other sides of town. But if they counted the numbers of just the bad sides of big cities by themselves, they’d beat most of the small cities out that just don’t have any normal workers living downtown like big cities do, to compensate for the numbers (which websites don’t do that count, except most dangerous neighborhoods lists relate to what I’m saying)

I have never been to Atlanta, But I watched a movie called (Snow on tha Bluff) . It was shot in a neighborhood called "The Bluff". At a small housing project on James P Brawley Dr. in Vine City. It looked like a pretty bad area for crime. I was just wondering You didn't mention that Area.

[@squirrelabouttown6022]

I used to live a couple blocks away from Ponce in the 90's...man have I seen some things. I hear it's all bougie now.

[@KnowledgeSeeker78491]

I deliver mail in Mechanicsville and from my understanding the neighborhood is getting better (gentrification)...matter of fact, that last picture you showed of that apartment has been completely renovated

[@TheREALDJFruitLoops]

Nearly all the locals in Mechanicsville got pushed out...was a ghost town for numerous years.

[@heidimarchant5438]

If you avoid the bad parts as with any major city, Atlanta is pretty awesome, nice vid.

[@ketarita1911]

I have been living ing in ATL for 16 years and this list is so inaccurate. I have been in all of these neighborhoods. Obviously he has only done research online.

[@candacegarcia8259]

Oh I see. He is trying to sell security systems....

[@WorldAccordingToBriggs]

You're confused. I mention I have a security system and I left a link to be a nice guy. I don't make anything off that.

You must live in one of the hoods listed. Or you were raised in one and managed to move on up to living in chamblee or something.

You cannot rent a crack house in Atlanta for under $1000 a month. I’m not sure where you’re getting your rental information from but I live 70 miles outside of Atlanta and a four bedroom mobile home rents for $1000 a month in Jasper.

[@gerrythrash6563]

I'm an Atlanta native and grew up in the Bankhead area. The apartments we lived in are actually shown in this video. Back in the 60s and 70s when I was growing up there, it was poor and working class, but still active with people, stores, schools and churches. It wasn't that bad. It's sad to see what's happened to it.

[@tylercrawford4534]

Gerry Thrash Bowen homes/bankhead courts were torn down....the area has been gentrified a lot in the last 5 years. Bottomed out in the late 90s/early 00s.

[@jorgemartinez18]

Gosh, I'm surprised ya didn't mention far end Snellville up 124 near Lithonia. That area has become a shithole over the last 15 years. Which is pretty sad because with a couple of strict HOAs, it would help by getting people to keep their properties. But because of the lack of discipline to maintain a nice & healthy looking home, you'll find most houses there with the yard trashed, you'll have broken down vehicles in the road or driveway.

[@prettyricky2020]

yes... and that is the problem too.. the class level is so disproportionate here...too many low class poverty stricken people here..not enough educated middle class people..that is the systemic problem here..

[@toreyburse1324]

Wow , @ 1:53 is my grandmothers old house . She passed away in 2000 , but it was built by my great great grand father Robert Wilson . He was a slave from Macon , Ga. that bought his freedom and came to Atlanta and built that house . It originally came with that entire block . My grandmother was born in it , as well as my dad and uncles. A lot of fond memories on that porch . It was demolished a couple of years ago though .

[@lawrencedesmondleach]

I'm from Savannah but I lived in the A 15 years. For one, there is no Bankhead anymore. I lived in the West End 3 years. I moved to Dunwoody to be closer to my work. I hated to leave the West End and stayed on the southbound train going back 'to visit.' I still love the West End as all of southwest ATL, aka the SWATs. These were the most amazing and memorable people I ever met. When I go back to visit I always go to the West End first. Mechanicsville is not far. I never ever had a problem and don't know of anyone who did. These were all amazing and REAL people. I picked up my love and study of Africa from two parts of Atlanta, Bankhead and Ashby. Ashby Street taught me Sierra Leone. Bankhead taught me Uganda. I speak the languages of both of these and more. It was never the neighborhood, how poor or rich they are for me. It was always folk in these 'hoods' that made moving to Atlanta one of the best things I ever did for myself. weebale nnyo, ssebo. okukwagala. L

[@brandonrippy8500]

Nice video, but keep in mind that Pittsburgh and Adair park are part of a multimillion dollar redevelopment zone. Right now there some of the hottest realestate in the city for investors and flippers. In about a 2 years this video won't be relevant.

[@WorldAccordingToBriggs]

I could see that in Pittsburgh but Adair Park has a long way to go.

[@brandonrippy8500]

World According To Briggs the city just announce they secured deeds for the southeast trail of the belt line which cuts right through this neighborhood. If you check realtor.com house on the market are being snatched up. I live a few neighborhoods over and the equity in my house has skyrocketed in the past 3 years.

[@scpatl4now]

Also, the stadium redevelopment is causing values in Pittsburgh and Mechanicsville to increase rapidly (like doubled in the past year) fueled by speculative buying. Adair Park is right on the beltline and its been rapidly increasing in value for the last couple of years. That would be the place to make money if you were the "urban pioneer" type or a flipper. There is a core of nice redone homes but it gets sketchy the further you get from there. Crime has always been a problem there

[@bradgriffin1625]

It’s already not relevant. The two houses in his stock photo are already rehabbed. Adair Park is a strong neighborhood with a strong association that is active in the neighborhood. Google Bearings Bike Shop, a neighbor set that up and less advantaged kids spend their days there fixing bikes they get to keep instead of being exposed to the streets. This blogger needs to get the fuck out with his racist bs.

[@ahmiller121]

What are you talking about- have you ever been to the city? Are you this much of an expert on all of the cities you do videos on?

I grew up off of Virginia Avenue and Harrison Road. 80's and 90's. Never knew it was called Eagan Park, until a few years back. I do miss the old neighborhood. Sometimes. Lol

My house was the one represented for Oakland city. Ragsdale elementry, Sylvan hills middle, and Booker T Washington (and Tri-Cities). I promise you that if you decide to live in Oakland City long enough you will see what really goes on there.

[@truckerautry63]

What about Edgewood Courts, PDE, Cleveland Ave, Lakewood, Zone 3 ? West End and those neighborhoods near the beltline is going to be gentrified in the up coming year's including Adair Park

[@alvaropena5540]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@Nikki-ks6wi]

I always get confused when low income neighborhoods are always a "bad area" but in reality some of these top notch homes/hubs have some of the most illegal stuff in the city going on. The only difference is they have lawyers to protect them and police not choosing to look in their area

[@MrTonyProductionz]

Why do you have such low subscribers?! Your vids are pretty spot on. I've been to atl 4x already this year and ended up at west end. Thought there was a h&m at the mall but nope. It a was pretty poor neighborhood.

[@e4thefee857]

This dude showed chappel forest 🌳 for Bankhead lol

[@Cassandra9021]

Yep

[@NeaneyBeany]

I lived on Bankhead for 5 years. Gotta break down which part of Bankhead. It's miles long. Some of the neighborhoods are mainly elderly individuals and a lot of them cannot afford to or maintain their own yards so some parts are an eye sore....Gertrude Place for example is the 1st street it looks like, that they're renovating old homes that people have passed away and no longer lived in. I never had any break ins in 5 years. Guess it depends on the section. Adair Park...that 1 particular apt complex...a mess truly...However, there are hstorical beautiful homes streets over going back towards downtown (still Adair Park) The main street (Metropolitan Pkwy) itself is a little rough...but the neighborhood itself is decent. Not sure if you added "The Bluff" but that should be #1.

[@michaelmerck7576]

Changing the name from Stewart Ave to metropolitan parkway did nothing but change the name,still the same shithole it used to be

[@NeaneyBeany]

@@michaelmerck7576 it’ll be gentrified soon with a bunch of others soon so I’m sure that’ll change. 🙄

[@tianogriffin3468]

[@richardharris8399]

I've lived in Atlanta and around Atlanta most of my life and I think you covered it pretty well, but you needed to broaden your geographical descriptions. I mean, the word neighbor hood doesn't really get the job done. Most people wouldn't be able to find those neighborhoods so it isn't really that hard to avoid them. But let's say stay away from Memorial Dr. or Stewart Ave. Don't hang out at South Dekalb Mall. Buford Hwy is a good place to get in trouble. Bankhead is more than one neighborhood, anywhere from Mableton to just west of West End would cover Bankhead. Moreland Ave is no place to be after dark although a lot of people hang out in Little Five Points. For that matter, there's lots of suburbs to avoid. Your best bet to stay out of trouble is north of I-285 from 75 to PIB. P.S. I know they've changed the names of some of those roads but as far as I'm concerned Stewart Ave will always be Stewart Ave. Afterall, you can call a pig anything you want but it still stinks.

[@badgerbadger-badger-Poppy]

During the short amount of time I lived in Atlanta, I found most of it (at least out of the areas I’d been to) to be boring. I didn’t see very many parts of Atlanta to be significantly more dangerous than anywhere else in the city. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time and being the victim of a crime as a result can happen anywhere. It was mostly just boring to me, which is why I got the hell out of dodge, but it could be much worse.

[@heatherthyne2307]

Moved out of the area in 1997 (and I lived in a suburb 20 miles outside the perimeter) and never want to go back. I'm sorry I have to drive through there on my way to Alabama from up north-aways! Not missing it. No way.
