Welcome to Marietta

Just northwest of Atlanta, Marietta combines historic charm with modern suburban living. It’s known for its family-friendly atmosphere, strong community pride, and beautiful mix of old and new—from classic homes and local shops to new developments and lively town centers.

At the heart of Marietta is the Marietta Square, a lively downtown packed with locally owned restaurants, boutique shops, cafés, and a weekend farmers market. Residents enjoy popular spots like Marietta Pizza Company, Two Birds Taphouse, and Hemingway’s Bar & Grill, all centered around the park and fountain that host outdoor concerts, art walks, and food festivals year-round.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is right next door—offering scenic hiking trails, sweeping views of the skyline, and picnic areas. Families appreciate the top-rated schools in East Cobb, while commuters benefit from proximity to Cumberland, Truist Park, and major employers along the I-75 corridor.

Marietta has a wide range of housing, from classic Craftsman-style homes near the Square to new townhome and single-family developments throughout East and West Marietta. The area offers a warm, welcoming community with history, green space, and growth all in one place.
