I moved from Los Angeles to Atlanta 3 years ago. Here are 6 things that have surprised me most, so far.

Although it's taken us time to get used to it, Atlanta has become our home over the past four years.

• In 2022, my partner and I moved from Los Angeles to Atlanta, even though we'd never visited before.
• I've been pleasantly surprised by how much greenery and outdoor activities the city has.
• It's been tough adjusting to the lack of sidewalks and differing recycling guidelines in some areas.

After a few years of renting in Los Angeles, my partner and I were ready to buy something of our own.
