Marietta Real Estate

Historic squares, top-rated schools, and a deep suburban inventory across East Cobb and West Cobb. Marietta is one of Metro Atlanta's largest and most established suburban markets.

About Marietta

Marietta is the seat of Cobb County and one of Metro Atlanta's largest suburbs, with about 61,000 residents in the city proper and many more in the surrounding Marietta-postal-zip unincorporated areas. The historic Marietta Square — the original 1830s town center — remains a true walkable hub with restaurants, the Strand Theatre, the farmers market, and a thriving festival schedule.

Marietta real estate spans a huge range. Established East Cobb neighborhoods near top schools commonly run $600,000 to $1.5 million+. West Cobb offers strong value with newer single-family construction generally from $450,000 to $900,000. Historic homes near the Marietta Square and in older intown neighborhoods range from $400,000 for smaller bungalows to $2 million+ for restored estates.

What Makes Marietta Stand Out

East Cobb Schools

Cobb County Schools — particularly the Lassiter, Walton, and Pope High School clusters in East Cobb — are among the top-rated public schools in Georgia.

Historic Marietta Square

The 1830s town square anchors a true walkable downtown with restaurants, retail, the Strand Theatre, the farmers market, and weekend festivals year-round.

Suburban Value

Compared to North Fulton (Alpharetta, Roswell), Marietta and West Cobb often offer significantly more home for the money, with strong school zones and shorter commutes to many job centers.
