We love Kennesaw for many reasons, but let’s start with some history!
Kennesaw is filled with around 32,000 residents that consider the city a great place to work and live.
The city was founded in 1887 with a history based on the railroad industry. It’s located in northwestern Cobb County and features one of the country’s best national parks – Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Kennesaw Mountain’s summit is the highest point in all of Metro Atlanta with an elevation of 1,808 feet above sea level.
Fun fact – the city was renamed because of the mountain!
From the top of Kennesaw Mountain, you can see the skyscrapers of Atlanta!

But what about the real estate market in Kennesaw?
