Marietta is one of metro Atlanta's most layered cities — a true 19th-century square ringed by restaurants and the storied Strand Theatre, with rolling residential pockets that stretch into East Cobb's nationally ranked school districts. Walk Glover Park on a Friday night during a free concert and you'll understand why families plant roots here for generations.
