Marietta’s Dobbins Air Reserve Base brings jobs and community energy

Eastern Marietta sits between Marietta's established neighborhoods and the more modern community of East Cobb, less than 20 miles from downtown Atlanta. The area combines tree-lined suburbs and proximity to Dobbins Air Reserve Base, a major employer and part of Marietta’s community fabric, and has a reputation for being both relaxed and family-oriented. Dobbins is one of the largest Air Force Reserve bases in the country, supporting more than 5,700 personnel and bringing an economic impact exceeding $180 million a year, with many residents employed directly or indirectly through the base’s operations and contractors. "This is the more slow-paced, family-friendly side of Metro Atlanta," says Broker Kamara Williams with Kam Williams Realty Group. "Families often opt to live over here rather than directly in the city."

Lockheed Elementary to Marietta High anchor school choices

The Marietta City School District in Georgia features several school choice options, including open enrollment at select elementary schools according to available space, STEAM and IB magnet programs with specialized admissions and waitlists, and limited out-of-district transfer opportunities for a tuition fee, all governed by district policy and capacity constraints. Placement in these programs is determined by a mix of academic criteria, space availability, and policies like lotteries or priority waitlists, ensuring that families have options to select schools best suited to their children’s needs when spots are available. Local kids can start school at Lockheed Elementary, which earns a B-minus from Niche, then continue to the B-plus-rated Marietta Middle. Marietta High earns an A-minus and offers a Special Education department which focuses on speech and language, occupational and physical therapies.
