I love this town! However, I would love to see more diversity in cultural and political beliefs. I am grateful to live here though, as it is an area I feel incredibly safe in. I can walk my dog at night as a teenage girl and not have to worry about others around me. This is something not many areas have and I am very privileged to love in an area that provides this.
I moved to Kennesaw because I was transferring from Mercer University to Kennesaw State so that I could live with my parents and save money as they moved here. Although I moved in the middle of the pandemic, the opportunities for community involvement and recreation here have been abundant. KSU has one of the largest enrollment rates in the state, but Kennesaw has never felt congested due to most KSU students being commuters. The traffic is average, but very rarely at complete standstills for more than a few minutes. Kennesaw is also very family friendly, and there are plenty of playgrounds and parks to explore for anyone seeking outdoor recreation. Kennesaw Mountain is a popular hiking spot and offers beautiful, peaceful treks. Downtown is a cozy, family-friendly, and walkable area that offers tasty dine-in restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream shops, bars, local apartment complexes, a park, and more. There are also plenty of local churches that are deeply involved in the community.
Kennesaw is a great suburban area with a plethora of adventures to take. There is a diverse selection of food establishments, and Kennesaw is home to the amazing Kennesaw State University! The history is interesting in Downtown Kennesaw with the staging grounds from the Great Locomotive Chase from the Civil War. If you like adventures, new places, and history, Kennesaw is for you!
