Young families choosing to call Whitlock home have an array of choices
Whitlock is a small, quiet neighborhood between downtown Marietta and the city’s conference center. The area has a mix of housing options, and its character can change street by street. Manicured lawns and white picket fences can be found in some areas, and homes tucked in behind wooded yards can be found in others. “There are many, many young families moving in,” says Dorothy Woodruff, a longtime resident and a member of the city’s Historic Board of Review. Though less than a mile from the lively Marietta Square, Whitlock is less walkable than other neighborhoods near downtown because it is bordered by the busy Whitlock Avenue and Marietta Parkway.
Colonial Revivals, townhomes and new construction
Whitlock has multiple housing styles and options, including cozy, 1920s Colonial Revivals. “There are a lot of historic homes going down Whitlock Avenue,” Woodruff says. There are also homes built in 2023 as well as spacious townhomes, which sell for just over $500,000. There are close to 300 homes in the neighborhood. Most homes, regardless of style, list between $500,000 and $1 million, depending on size and proximity to Marietta Square.
Highly-rated schools and a preschool in the neighborhood
Children in the Whitlock area are zoned for either Hickory Hills Elementary, which has an A-minus on Niche, or A.L. Burruss Elementary, which has a B-plus. They then head to Marietta Sixth Grade Academy and Marietta Middle School, which are both rated B-plus. Marietta High School has an A-minus. The district’s Emily Lembeck Early Learning Center, which opened in 2018, is also tucked in the middle of the neighborhood. It serves about 130 preschoolers and accepts students using a lottery system.
A public golf course and multiple parks
City Club Marietta is just south of the neighborhood. The golf course opened to the public in the early 1990s after the city bought it from Marietta Country Club. Residents also enjoy the neighborhood’s Henry Memorial Park, which has a playground and basketball courts. Glover Park in downtown also has a playground and hosts numerous events, including a Brown Bag concert series. The Mountain to River Trail, accessible from downtown, is a walking and biking trail that stretches from Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.The neighborhood is also home to the Gone With the Wind Museum in historic Brumby Hall, a pre-Civil War home. The museum has a large collection of items connected to the book and movie.
Italian and French cuisine among the many nearby options
Residents often head to Marietta Square for its numerous dining options. “I ate on the Square last night with some friends, and I could hardly find parking,” says Woodruff. “It’s a very happening place.” Popular spots include the newly opened Gianni & Mac's Ristorante and old favorite Two Birds Taphouse. The Douceur de France bakery along Marietta Parkway is a popular brunch destination. Whitlock Avenue also has several restaurants and grocery stores, including Kroger.
Events in Marietta Square
Whitlock’s proximity to the Square means residents can enjoy numerous events that are scheduled there year-round. A farmers market featuring more than 60 vendors is held every Saturday morning and an evening art walk takes place the first Friday of each month at the galleries and museum lining the Square. October’s Chalktoberfest is also a popular event, drawing chalk artists from across the country. The festival also has kids’ crafts and games, live concerts and beer and wine tastings.
