Marietta, Georgia is a great place to have a small-town feel while being near big-city excitement (it's near the state capital of Atlanta). Throughout the year, it experiences relatively cool summers and only a small amount of snowfall during the winter months. In addition, property taxes are some of the lowest in the state, making Marietta one of the most desirable suburbs of Atlanta for new home buyers.

The town began as a cluster of homes near a Native American trail at the base of Kennesaw Mountain. Today, many of the city's original homes and structures still stand and contribute a great deal to the small-town Southern charm the town possesses. Perhaps the most desirable location for home buyers is in downtown Marietta, home to historic Marietta Square, which was designed as the heart of the city.

Marietta's dwellings encompass virtually every style of living there is. Victorian homes, antebellum mansions, downtown lofts, and new townhome developments are all viable options for new home buyers in Marietta. A commercial and learning hub of north Georgia and one of Atlanta's largest suburbs, Marietta features many employment and award-winning education opportunities for its residents.

Although Marietta is a town with strong ties to its past, it's by no means behind the times. Some of the nation's largest companies (including Home Depot) have offices in Cobb County's Platinum Triangle, a 15-million-square-foot center of business. The city's REALTORS® have also kept up with ever-changing technological advances, allowing potential Marietta home buyers to browse listings conveniently over the Internet.
