Is Marietta expensive to live in?

Cost of living in Marietta varies enormously by neighborhood, from established in-town streets near the historic square to newer subdivisions farther out in Cobb County, so calling the whole city expensive or affordable misses the real picture. Property taxes, insurance and housing costs all shift block by block, the same way they do across Joel Boss's other North Metro Atlanta towns. Comparing a specific Marietta address against recent nearby sales is the only way to get a real answer.
