Co-working spaces in Athens?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but Born and raised here. Crime rate is something to consider -Athens sits at 104.6 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $893 for rent here. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Worth the trade-offs?

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The pet-friendliness is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value weather, you'll love it. The school system is genuinely tough and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Uptown) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from San Diego, be prepared for the culture shock. safety is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is walkability. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.
