One of the top 10 cities for families!

The city of Kennesaw, Georgia, located in Cobb County, has an estimated population of more than 30,000.  This suburb of Atlanta, only 20 miles outside the city, is a community where history, recreation, education and all around family values take priority.

Kennesaw, Georgia, is widely known as one of the sites where the Battle of Atlanta was fought during the American Civil War, and this is due in part to the city's determination to keep its history alive.  The Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, home to the highest point in the Atlanta metropolitan area, consists of 2,888 acres of parkland where residents can bask in their local history and natural surroundings.  Eighteen miles of trails, battlefields and a museum dedicated to the area keep local residents, and visitors, coming back for more.

In addition to Kennesaw National Park, the city also maintains 22 other park and recreation areas.  The Swift-Cantrell Park, with 42 acres of land, includes walking trails, an aquatic center, tennis courts and skate park, among other numerous amenities.  Another park located within the city is the Smith-Gilbert Arboretum, which includes over 3,000 different plants, walking trails and beautiful sculptures from national artists.  There's no doubt this city prides itself on its history and recreational pursuits.

Education is another top priority for the city of Kennesaw, Georgia.  Among the many public and private schools serving the city, Kennesaw is also home to Kennesaw State University.  With over 20,000 students from around the world, Kennesaw State University is the third largest university in the state and is still rapidly growing!

With its emphasis on history, recreation, top educational programs, and a downtown complete with business, shopping and restaurants for every taste, it's no wonder Kennesaw was named one of the 10 Best Towns for Families by Family Circle magazine.  The magazine looked for communities that "combine big-city opportunities with suburban charm, locations that offer an ideal blend of affordable houses, good jobs, top-rated schools, wide-open spaces, and a lot less stress.  Family Circle singled out these small cities, where living costs, commute times, and crime rates are low, and the educational and cultural scenes are way above average."  The city of Kennesaw is no doubt one of the perfect places to call home.
