The best of the countryside, just minutes from the city

Suburb Commuter Schools Nature Outdoors Historic

Powder Springs is a suburban city located about ten miles southwest of Marietta and twenty miles northwest of Downtown Atlanta. Largely thanks to its prime location and fairly affordable rental market (largely composed of single-family homes), Powder Springs has become a highly popular home base among Atlanta-area commuters. Families in particular have been drawn by the area’s high-performing schools and classic small-town vibe.

Apart from a few small shopping centers, the city proper is almost entirely residential, although a large retail cluster sits on the northwest corner of town along Wendy Bagwell Parkway. Folks who appreciate the tranquility of the countryside will love the pastoral landscape surrounding Powder Springs, with lush nature preserves like Kennesaw Mountain and Sweetwater Creek just minutes away.
