Top 5 Reasons People are Moving to Marietta, GA

Are you hoping for a change of scenery this year, perhaps looking to get a fresh start? Well, look no further than this quaint historic town just outside Atlanta. If your ideal home is in a quiet town with all the conveniences of a big city, then Marietta, GA, might just be for you. 

One sight of Marietta square or downtown Marietta and you’ll never want to leave. The square is absolutely amazing and gives you a great deal during holidays, with all kinds of parades, shops, and dining experiences. But that’s not all that makes this city great. Here are five more reasons people are moving to Marietta: 

#1 Proximity 

Marietta, GA is located 20.3 miles from the inner city of Atlanta. It takes about 30 minutes to drive to Atlanta. It is the fourth largest city surrounding the Atlanta metro area, with a population of about 60,000 people. 

#2 School system

Marietta city has its own school system that is separate from Cobb County. It is considered one of the top 10 U.S. school systems in digital technology.

Marietta is close to national recreational areas such as Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield. You can go hiking there, and it is dog friendly. They have history tours, and they do really cool reenactments throughout the year, with old Civil War battles, cannons, explosions and all the works.

There are several smaller parks that are great for families with children. My personal favorite is Sope Creek, another amazing national recreational area. We did a deep dive on this specific park right here.
