I would avoid anything nort of Delk Rd. and South of the 75/575 split if you're thinking of anywhere along I-75. I used to live off Exit 263 while I was in college at SPSU and shortly afterwards. I moved just a few miles further south to a place off Exit 259A about 3 months ago. I commute to work downtown every day, usually leaving between 8 and 8:30. My commute in from Exit 263 used to take anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes. After moving my commute is now 15 minutes (25 on a bad day). All of the traffic I would hit was from I-285 and up.

One of my coworkers lives in Sandy Springs (not sure exactly where but he says he's only about 3 miles from the Dunwoody MARTA station). He rides his bike to the MARTA station and then takes the train in from there. His commute is about 45 minutes this way.
