Evan's Take

“Kennesaw offers something most Metro Atlanta suburbs cannot: genuine mountain hiking 5 minutes from your house. Kennesaw Mountain is a national battlefield with miles of trails. KSU brings energy and culture. And housing is still very affordable compared to north Fulton or Forsyth County.”

— Evan Beckett, 20+ years in Metro Atlanta
