Remaining A Top Choice Among Metro Homebuyers (1/4)

Home to more than 10 percent of Georgia’s population, Cobb County is one of the most popular and exciting counties in Metro Atlanta, and the unincorporated area of East Cobb is the heart of it. So, where exactly is this crown jewel located? Situated just twenty miles northwest of downtown, it is carved out of the area south of Cherokee county, north of the Chattahoochee River and the Cumberland/Galleria area, east of Marietta and west of Roswell and Sandy Springs. It is just minutes from Buckhead and within easy reach of all that the city has to offer while still providing residents with a charming, small-town feel in a quiet, bucolic setting.
 
Consistently recognized as one of the top areas to live in Georgia, East Cobb’s reputation has been built on the back of its friendly neighborhoods and great schools. While still a big draw for many homebuyers, East Cobb’s popularity goes beyond close-knit communities and award-winning schools. Here are some of the many reasons it continues to top the charts as one of the best places in America to call home.

Recreation: Whether you crave adventure or enjoy relaxing and reconnecting with nature, East Cobb is a hidden gem for nature lovers. It offers plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities at a variety of parks and lush wooded green spaces. With recreation areas all along the magnificent Chattahoochee River, it is easy to immerse yourself in the area’s beauty. From picnicking to playing sports to just relaxing, you will find everything from athletic complexes, walkable trails and playgrounds to hiking, fishing, biking and rafting in a setting that feels a million miles away from the big city.

Entertainment: Another reason East Cobb is such a desirable place to live is the plethora of entertainment options just beyond your doorstep. With easy access to Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta, cheering on the world-champion Atlanta Braves is more than a national pastime for residents; it is a religion. But the Braves are not the only major league team that calls Cobb County home. Not far from the ballpark is the state-of-the-art training center and youth academy program for the Atlanta United professional soccer team. And if music and the arts are more your vibe, it offers plenty to like. From art galleries, historical museums and performing arts centers to concert halls, theaters and music venues, residents can get as artsy as they want.

Whether you want casual, formal, family-friendly or an evening to remember, you can find something for every occasion and palate. And if you venture just beyond East Cobb’s boundaries, you will find even more mouth-watering options to enjoy. There’s a reason Bon Appétit, Wine Spectator and The Food Network frequently feature area favorites on their “Must Visit” lists.
