Marietta is the county seat and largest city within Cobb County, having a population of nearly 60,000 residents, which makes it Atlanta’s largest suburb. Established in 1834, Marietta is a mere eighteen miles northwest of Downtown Atlanta, located along the dramatic backdrops of the Chattahoochee River and the foothills of Kennesaw Mountain. With its six historic districts, some featured on the National Register of Historic Places, Marietta offers traditional Southern charm, hospitality, and history. One of its most enthralling points of interest is Marietta Square, which features an eclectic mix of restaurants, lively nightspots, an intimate Broadway-style theatre, art galleries, museums, specialty shops, and boutiques. Are you more outdoorsy? Marietta features year-round outdoor recreational activities with an extensive network of park space, playgrounds, athletic fields, multi-use trails, and tennis courts. Are you a student looking for off-campus housing? Hamptons at East Cobb is an easy drive from some of Georgia’s fantastic colleges and universities. We have it all, and so can you!.
