KENNSAW REAL ESTATE
Kennesaw City Website
The most famous resident of Kennesaw is “The General,” an awesome iron locomotive and the leading character in one of
the most exciting
events of the Civil War: the destruction of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad by Union Army spies. Fascinating historic sites -- such as
the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History and Kennesaw
Mountain National Battlefield Park -- define this growing hometown
community, located conveniently near I-75 and U.S. Highway 41 in North
Cobb County. A close-knit city of more than 40,000 people, Kennesaw is
located only minutes north of vibrant downtown Atlanta. This proximity
to the state capital offers residents easy access to a multitude of
world-class recreational, educational and cultural amenities. The city
also offers a superior quality of life replete with outstanding
education, fine dining, and premier shopping destinations. Kennesaw’s
many parks offer a wide variety of facilities and the community is
also part of a “green space” program, which seeks to increase the
amount of preserved open land within the town. Kennesaw is a prime
location for manufacturing, distribution and retail centers thanks to
its proximity to several major transportation routes and facilities,
including the Cobb County Airport-McCollum Field, Georgia’s third
busiest airport.
