Why buyers love Marietta
Marietta combines one of the most charming historic town squares in the Southeast with a thriving suburban economy anchored by Cobb County's top-rated schools, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and excellent transportation corridors including I-75 and I-575. The city has managed to preserve its historic character while embracing smart growth and new development.
New construction activity is strongest in East Cobb, where established neighborhoods with mature trees give way to new builds from Taylor Morrison and Pulte Homes. The Kennesaw/Marietta border is active with D.R. Horton and Lennar communities, while West Cobb toward Dallas offers newer homesites with more space. The northwest corridor through Acworth and Powder Springs provides the most affordable options in the county, with prices starting in the high $200s.
Marietta's historic town square is one of the most charming in the Southeast, centered around the Cobb County Courthouse with its Civil War monument. The square is lined with local restaurants, boutiques, and galleries, and hosts the Marietta Square Farmers Market and seasonal festivals.
