Marietta/Smyrna is a suburb of Atlanta--NW of the city, located in Cobb County.
Here>>

Map of the area>>>
Marietta, GA, USA - Google Maps (http://tinyurl.com/2d9euu - broken link)

Many who relocate research the schools and try to find housing within an attendance zone for a particular school. Others locate near a place of employment due to the traffic problems in the Atlanta area.

It might be difficult to find a 2 BDR apt for $700 in this area. There are problems along Delk Rd--high crime area.

Seeing that you have an 11 year old, the educator in me suggests this website:

GreatSchools.net Here you can find out the quality of the schools in the area you are interested in.

Two other sites worth mentioning: Cobb County School District
Marietta City Schools

You can take a look at the schools in the city of Marietta as well as unincorporated Marietta via the two links listed above.
