The Cheri Riley Group would love to help you make Georgia’s own Marietta the location of your next dream home.  North Georgia’s Marietta was recently named America’s number one recession-proof city to retire in, according to the AJC, based on results from Forbes.com’s recent top 40 list.

Marietta, which is located in central Cobb County, was ranked against a total of 40 of the country’s largest metropolitan statistical areas, and measured according to a wide variety of categories.  Some of these criteria included the number of sunny days throughout the year, the cost of living, the job growth forecast for 2009 – 2014, and median home price.  Marietta ranked higher than Arlington, Texas, Clearwater, Florida, and a wide range of other popular cities across the United States.  In addition to the categories named by Forbes that earned Marietta this distinction, this suburb just 15 miles northwest of the city of Atlanta has many other noteworthy characteristics that sets it apart.  Marietta, currently celebrating its 175th anniversary, remains connected to the past with its small-city feel, but strives toward future opportunities and growth as it moves ahead with great excitement.  Marietta boasts a top-notch education system, beautifully maintained communities, and a unique downtown square with exciting shopping and dining options, just to name a few features.  This community is truly on the rise!

The Cheri Riley Group at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty currently has several exquisite homes available to you in the Marietta area, including a new construction, recently reduced home on a golf course lot, a majestic stone and brick custom estate home, and even this stunning 8 bedroom, 8 bath home influenced by Robert A.M.
