Hi everyone! I’m completely new to Georgia. I recently accepted a new job in the Marietta area, and I’ll be living in the Kennesaw area. Right now, both of my parents, who are over 60, are here with me while I’m getting settled.

Since none of us really know the area, I’m looking for any and all recommendations for things we can do together, either during the week or on weekends.

I’m open to pretty much anything: interesting places to visit, scenic drives, small towns, museums, historic places, parks, restaurants, markets, events, nice areas to explore, day trips, unique Georgia experiences, or even random local places that you personally enjoy taking family when they visit.

Ideally, I’d love things within about a 30–40 minute drive from Kennesaw, but honestly, if something is worth driving farther for, please recommend it anyway. We have a car and don’t mind exploring.

Google has helped a little, but I feel like I’m mostly getting the same tourist recommendations over and over again. I’d really love to hear from people who actually live here — including places that may not show up on the typical “things to do in Georgia” lists.

Seriously, throw any recommendations you have at me, even if you think they’re obvious. I’m starting from zero when it comes to knowing Georgia.

Thank you! I really appreciate any suggestions and I’m excited to get to know Kennesaw, Marietta, and Georgia in general.

Title: Anyone have experience living at Town Kennesaw Apartments?
Hi everyone! I’m currently considering renting an apartment at Town Kennesaw, and before making a final decision, I wanted to hear from people who actually know the area or have experience with the complex.
Has anyone here lived at Town Kennesaw, currently lives there, or knows someone who does? I’d really appreciate any honest feedback—good or bad—about the apartments, management, maintenance, neighbors, noise, parking, safety, or anything else you think a potential resident should know.
One of my biggest priorities is simply living somewhere safe, quiet, and well-managed. I understand that no apartment complex is perfect, but I’d like to minimize the chances of dealing with major problems with management, the property itself, or the surrounding community.
I toured the property and honestly really liked what I saw, but I know that touring an apartment complex and actually living there can be two very different experiences.
Any experiences, opinions, warnings, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I’ll be relocating from out of state soon to begin a new position at Lockheed Martin in Marietta, and I’m looking for apartment recommendations from people who know the area.

I’m searching for a one-bedroom apartment that is at least 800 square feet, pet-friendly, and ideally no more than $1,700 per month. Since I’m unfamiliar with Marietta and the surrounding communities, safety is one of my biggest priorities. I would also like a clean, quiet, and well-maintained community within a reasonable commute to Lockheed Martin.

Are there any particular apartment complexes or neighborhoods in Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, East Cobb, or the surrounding area that you would recommend? I would also appreciate knowing about any complexes or areas that I should avoid.

Thank you in advance for any advice or recommendations!
