in the metro counties are pretty steep. These include Fulton and DeKalb counties. Other counties in the area such as Cobb and Paulding and maybe Henry counties would be considerably less. Generally speaking, properties outside of I285 fall in the more reasonable category. If you have to commute into downtown, it can and will be pretty bad at times. Either leave early or later and try to avoid the early and late rush hours. There are some other towns in the general area of Conyers that you might want to consider also, including Lawrenceville and Duluth and maybe Stone Mountain. One good thing about this area is that you won't be too far from the Road Atlanta race track! It is a nice 2.5 mile multi turn race track with a nice elevation change right at the end of the lap. For the moment at least, you will be north of the "gnat line" so you won't have to put up with those pesky little critters! There are several new or almost new schools in this area, both elementary and high schools. If you have kids to consider you will have some good education areas to look into.
