What BestPlaces Users Say about Acworth
Acworth, Georgia is a small city located in the northern part of the state. With a population of just over 28,000, it offers a suburban feel with easy access to larger cities like Atlanta. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other parts of the state, and the city is known for its good schools and family-friendly atmosphere. However, like any place, there are both positive and negative opinions about living in Acworth. In this summary, we will include excerpts from four different user reviews to provide a well-rounded perspective on the experience of living in Acworth.
According to user "John" on Best Places, Acworth is "a great place to raise a family." He highlights the good schools and friendly community as major factors in his positive review. He also mentions the variety of outdoor activities available, such as hiking and boating on nearby lakes.
In contrast, user "Sarah" expresses disappointment with the lack of diversity in Acworth. She states, "It's a small town where everyone knows each other, but that also means there's not much diversity." She also mentions the limited job opportunities and slow-paced lifestyle as downsides.
Another user, "Mark," praises the cost of living in Acworth. He says, "For a small city, the cost of living is surprisingly low. My family and I were able to afford a nice house with a big yard without breaking the bank." He also mentions the low crime rate as a major positive aspect of living in Acworth.
However, user "Kelly" has a different experience with the city's safety. She writes, "I've lived in Acworth for three years now, and I can't say I feel completely safe here. There have been a few instances of crime in my neighborhood, and that's always a concern for me and my family." She also mentions the lack of public transportation and the need for a car to get around as a disadvantage.
Overall, it seems that Acworth can be a great place to live for those looking for a family-friendly, affordable, and safe community. However, it may not offer much diversity or job opportunities, and some may not feel completely safe in certain areas. As with any place, it's important to do thorough research and consider personal preferences when considering living in Acworth.

So you want to know about Acworth, do ya? Well, imagine a tired industrial town with concrete plants, old run-down strip malls, the busiest rail road (so you're constantly caught by the train) which is often stopped on the tracks with no regard for the negative economic impact that causes. Did I mention the hundreds of power lines criss-crossing the sky in seemeingly every direction? Whose idea was that? Have they not heared of underground power lines? Well, that's Acworth! There is two or three good restaurants, Actualy two are great, but this is a small town run by a few good-ol'-boys and they don't like change. If anything does happen, it happens real

Small town living close to the big city life - 10/13/2012
Acworth is north of Atlanta. The population is just over 20K and the cost of living is very low compared to almost anywhere in the region. If you love a sunny, warm climate and dislike snow, this is a wonderful place to raise a family.

Where inthe world is Acworth? - 2/1/2011
If you are thinking of moving to Atlanta and are reading comments here....
Acworth is a town in the NW corner of Cobb County. When Cobb County was first staked out for settlement, in 1832, NYC was already over 200 years old!
Everything in Acworth appears to be new....the neighborhoods, the roads, the schools....the people(they come here from all over the world)....
There actually is an old town where the RR line runs....this MainLine connects Chattanooga to Atlanta(Acworth-Kennesaw-Marietta-Smyrna-Atlanta). Downtown Acworth looks kinda foo-foo on one side of the tracks, while the other side still languishes with its old abandonned warehouses and shops.
I'd say the schools are as good as schools are anywhere(the bad school-good school media hype is just snobbery....your child will be safe in acworth, make'em do their homework!)
This is a great place to make your mark on the world, just by living

climate - 7/14/2009
Overall, the climate in Acworth is enjoyable. The mild winter temperatures make up for the heat of the summer. We have short winters that allow for flowers to pop up in February. Not to mention, that we can have pansies planted in the winter. My family moved from Chicago four years ago, so we definitely appreciate the

life in acworth - 8/12/2008
quality of life in acworth is actually not to bad for someone like me who is very laid back and love peace and quite. i like the close proximity to the lakes and your still very close to downtown atlanta. i was skeptical about buying in acworth since i moved from kennesaw(which i loved) but i understand that acworth is expanding so property value should be going up and the area around it is growing as well. as far as night life in acworth that remains to be seen but that is okay if you don't mind driving downtown atlanta or surrounding areas for entertainment. i don't know anything about the schools because i don't have any kids(but i live in cobb county and i don't hear anything bad about the school system). i don't hear any crime happening in my area either. overall this is a good, clean and safe place to live or start a

Public transportation is awful. There is an express bus that goes in to Atlanta but that's about it. Nothing that gets you around Cobb
