Wow! Another week and its time to focus on another Georgia city. This year I have been focusing on the current market conditions of specific Atlanta metro area cities on Wednesday's. Each week we put the spotlight on a particular suburb of the Atlanta metro area. So far we have reviewed cities and towns such as Acworth, Alpharetta, Atlanta, Austell, Ball Ground, Canton, Cartersville, Conyers, Covington, Cumming, Dallas, Dunwoody, Holly Springs and Hoschton.
Today the focus is on the city of KENNESAW.
One of Family Circle magazine's "Ten Best Towns for Families," Kennesaw takes pride in it's small town atmosphere and boasts abundant parks and green space, exceptional recreational programs and top-notch schools, including Kennesaw State University. Kennesaw's historic downtown features shopping, dining and attractions such as the Smithsonian-affiliated Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, the Smith Gilbert Arboretum and nearby Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Family Circle's award was aimed at identifying the best communities nationally that combine big-city opportunities with suburban charm, a blend of affordable housing, good jobs, top-rated public schools, wide open spaces and less stress.
