ok....
Forest Park isn't the most desirable place to live. And not knocking it , just due to the ghetto factor. Very ghetto. Had a freind live there for one month then he was out. Not very safe. there are up and coming areas but it will be at least aother 5 years before that area is built out.
700 for a 2 bedroom might be hard to find intown, but it can be done. The surrounding areas might be your best bet.

industry, if possible try to find someplace north of the airport. it's much nicer. my 2 br in midtown was $1200/ month with no backyard. if you look around ga tech there are always houses for rent, and they aren't that expensive. plus, you're close to everything. airport's about 20min. away provided the freeway's aren't jammed.

i used Promove too a few years ago and they were great. doesn't cost you anything as they get commisions from the apartment that you move into.
Ga.Tech area is good. Don't live near the airport though. Decatur, Emory are good areas. East Point is still up and coming but not sure it is a safe area quite yet.

Yeah, you should be able to find a 2 bedroom place in the Grant Park/Inman Park/L5P/Candler Park areas.
Bonus is that you would be close to the action with your wife commuting south of the city. Going against traffic in the AM.

Hapeville is a bit odd (and TOO close to the airport) if you ask me... It's got a quaint little downtown strip with a train depot, restaurants, etc... but it is a ghost town. I never see anyone there. Very strange... I wouldn't want to live there.
East Point is definitely up & coming, but not quite there yet. some cool lofts to be had if you look around. It's also very close to the train station which goes directly into the airport. The airport is very close, too... but the train avoids all the parking hassles at the airport... But in general, it's a bit out of the way.
Grant Park is my favorite neighborhood (to live in) I've been to so far. I rented a place for a couple years there (but couldn't afford to buy a decent house there). Very quiet, but close to everything... I had an excellent 2 BR place for $1100/mo... Ria's Bluebird is the place for a tasty breakfast or lunch... I could eat there every day.
East Atlanta is fun, worth a look, but a bit overpriced... and they don't have the cool old Craftsman houses like Grant Park.
You may be hard-pressed to find something good for $700/mo. in a nice 'hood. Remember... this is a much bigger city than Kalamazoo.
