Let's get started...
Are you thinking about moving to Marietta, GA or looking for more information on our town? We completely understand, moving to cobb county was a big decision and I found so many different nuances about Marietta and Marietta City. So let me start there, within Cobb County is a city that works independent from the Cobb County system. Marietta City has it’s own school system – Marietta City Schools, police department and governing body – City of Marietta. Depending on where you are in Marietta, you may be in this specific area. Feel free to contact me for more information on navigating the area in your search.
So, back to Marietta, GA as a place to live, here is some information that helped me when we moved here.
Location, Location, Location: Marietta
Metro Atlanta is sprawling so it is important to know where the things are relative to Atlanta and (more importantly) the airport. Marietta is northwest of Atlanta (north, northwest of Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta Airport). Best part for me, living in Marietta, is not having to drive across downtown Atlanta to get to the airport.
Downtown Marietta is home to the Marietta Square a beautiful area full of shops, playground, fountain and grounds great for enjoying friends & family (great for family photos). Start with Marietta Square Market an indoor Food Hall with all kinds of delicious foods… they even host Trivia Nights weekly on Thursdays.
Feel free to stop in the Welcome Center for maps, information and more! Here is where you can pick up you tickets for the annual Pilgrimage, where during the holidays historic homes are dress in their best holiday decor and viewed during a walking tour.
