Marion has grown so much over the years. It is a beautiful town! I have enjoyed growing up in this town and watching all that has been improved. There are a lot of fun activities to do. Lake James which is located in Marion is a very beautiful sight to see! It may seem like a small town to some, but I personally have seen a big change in my time here. Everybody knows everybody and it is nice to see the people you know, and everyone is so kind hearted!
Marion has been my home for the last seventeen years and I have loved every moment of it. The community is lively and inviting. It is the definition of small town friendly. We have a perfect view of the mountains and amazing weather. Being in Marion is being at home. You are welcomed with open arms. However, there is not much to do considering it is a small town.
I was born and raised in Marion, NC. I love the society and community. Beautiful scenery and great food. I also love the many different school options in the district. Great neighborhood for families and kids.
