If a small town vibe within driving distance of the bustling city life is your speed, then you more than likely call a suburb of Atlanta home. This week’s Best of Atlanta poll wants to know which suburb has a special place in your heart.

Perhaps we already have a clue as to your favorite part of town by looking at the zip code declared Best in Atlanta for 2017.

Or maybe you agree with the Huffington Post on this Atlanta suburb holding the "cool card."

While you ponder just what makes a suburb great, take a look at some of these iconic landmarks, voted as the Best in Atlanta by our readers, which are inside and outside of the Perimeter.
