I've been here for 9 years and You can expect to pay around $1,392 for rent here. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Worth the trade-offs? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Came here for retirement and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The traffic is honestly excellent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value safety, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely pretty good and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. My neighborhood (East) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Atlanta, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.
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.
