Fair Oaks is a scenic neighborhood located next to Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, a popular suburb of Atlanta. Fair Oaks is convenient to destinations like Kennesaw State University and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Unlike most suburban communities, Fair Oaks is a combination of residential and industrial sections, with numerous green spaces scattered throughout.

Fair Oaks is named for the many mature oak trees that fill the area. So when the base wanted to cut down many of the trees in order to land plans more easily, the active community fought to keep the trees intact. The Georgia General Assembly sided with the residents, as the community existed long before the base. As a result, the neighborhood maintains its heavily wooded landscape.
