Cost of Living and opinion of the city

Overall, Kennesaw is "middle-of-the-road" with regard to expenses. I live in a two-bedroom apartment in one of the less expensive complexes and rent is roughly $850 / mo. Electric is between $100-125, trash and water are about $45. There is a lot of traffic in this city as a result of the numerous shopping areas and businesses. The Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is a wonderful place to visit, except it is very busy due to joggers and multiple recreation groups who frequent the park. Cobb County has an excellent school system. The protective departments such as the police and fire departments are a bit under-staffed, but they are good. Atlanta is about a 20-30 minute drive, and the north Georgia mountains are about an hour drive away as well.
