We love the small-town charm of Smyrna and its vibrant, diverse community. There’s always a local event happening where you’re sure to see familiar faces. Plus, its close proximity to everything Atlanta has to offer makes it even more appealing. It’s simply a refreshing, laid-back place to live and enjoy life.

Growing up in the metro-Atlanta area, I have been delightfully surprised with how different Smyrna is compared to other pockets around the city. I always am learning something new and meaningful living within the unique and rich history of Smyrna and surrounding areas. This area boasts a hometown feel, cutting edge amenities, and variety of educational spaces and places. My family and I work, shop, worship, serve others, recreate, play and thrive here in Smyrna.

There is no place like Smyrna! Smyrna is a wonderfully diverse and vibrant community with longtime residents and countless new young families moving to the Jonquil City. Our neighborhoods are unique, fun is always nearby, and our residents care for one and other. We are lucky to live in this great city.

I truly love walking to so many activities and events in Smyrna. Riding my bike on the Silver Comet Trail and getting connected via bike trails to the Beltline is the best. The option to ditch the car for health, pleasure and work is exciting to me.
