It’s unclear how Marietta got its name, though everyone in town has a theory—you will probably develop one, too, should you decide to live here! It was one of the few towns spared when General Sherman made his violent march to the sea and left Marietta unscathed; he burned Atlanta instead. You can learn about this and more of Marietta’s past at the Marietta Confederate Cemetery, one of America’s largest burial grounds for confederate soldiers—around three thousand of them, in fact, from all of the confederate states and a few others as well.
But Marietta isn’t all about history, and when you consider moving here you need to consider quality of life as well. So—just as an introduction—let’s take a stroll around Marietta Square. There is a park in the middle that stays beautiful all year-round, thanks to being fed by a private water source, and locals and visitors alike spend lots of time here, picnicking, walking their dogs, watching their children on the park’s train.
Sound idyllic? It gets better, because the park is surrounded by shops, boutiques, and restaurants that make Marietta the rival of many much larger cities. No chain stores here, just one-of-a-kind shopping and dining. Taste a cupcake made by the winner of TV’s “Cupcake Wars,” check out what’s playing at the Strand Theatre, or spend a Saturday at the famous farmer’s market and see why so many people love calling Marietta home.
So what are you waiting for? Marietta mortgage interest rates are still low, and Marietta homes and condominiums are among the most affordable in the state. Why not consider coming to live in a place where southern hospitality is a way of life rather than just a slogan, where the weather is consistently fine, the proximity to Atlanta gives options for employment and entertainment, and the pace of life is … livable?
And talk about livable… in 2011 Marietta was named as one of the “best places to live” by CNN, and online discussion boards all point to Marietta as a “great place to raise kids.”
