Incredibly Average, but Affordable
There is nothing that stands out about Marietta. Except for the fact that there are plenty of churches. You will have to own a car to get around, as most of the suburb is not walkable unless you are in the square. Many subdivisions decided not to install sidewalks either. Taxes are low, which is nice on the wallet. There's homes from 200k up to $1M+. Build your own adventure, an untouched 1970s ranch, a tract home, or McMansion. We have it all. I moved to East Cobb as a single person, and I don't really like it. But it's an ideal setting for a family. Schools are well rated. Although I went to high school here, in my experience sports are given much more attention than academics. So I'm not really sure I understand the hype around the education system.
