Our Take
Smyrna offers a solid commute to Atlanta and good schools, but its walkability is almost zero and the cost of living is high relative to the median income. If you’re a family who plans to drive and can afford the pricey homes, it could work, but most people will find the lack of local amenities a real drawback.
