Our Take
Marietta offers solid schools and a short 26‑minute drive into Atlanta, but it’s not a walkable town—almost all errands need a car. The cost of buying a home is high relative to the median income, and there’s limited public transit. Still, it’s a decent choice for families who value good schools and a commuter‑friendly location.
