My Top 5 East Cobb Neighborhoods for Families Moving to Atlanta

Every week, someone asks me which East Cobb neighborhood to move to. After 27 years, I keep coming back to the same five. Here's why.

If you've been considering a move to the East Cobb area and aren't sure which neighborhood is right for your family, this is for you. Every week, I get the same question: Kelly, what's your favorite neighborhood? Which one should we focus on? And I keep coming back to the same ten neighborhoods.

After 27 years of helping families move into the North Metro Atlanta area, I specialize in matching you with the right neighborhood for your lifestyle, and maybe your next one is on this list.

You can watch the full video above, or feel free to skip to the neighborhoods that interest you most using the timestamps below:

00:00 — Introduction
01:03 — Chimney Springs
05:11 — East Hampton
08:43 — Cobblestone Manor
11:58 — Sibley Forest
16:52 — Jackson's Creek
20:16 — Final Thoughts

Chimney Springs is the oldest and largest on this list with resort-style amenities, an 8-acre fishing lake, and a strong community spirit. Zoned to Tritt, Hightower Trail, and Pope. Median: $707,000, up 2%. HOA: $700/year.

East Hampton offers newer 1990s construction in the heart of East Cobb with top school zoning split between Walton and Pope. Knowing which side you're on matters. Median: $1.25 million, up 19%. HOA: $1,550/year.

Cobblestone Manor is one of the newest neighborhoods in East Cobb and the closest to the city. Homes are sitting longer, and sellers are negotiating about 5% off the asking price, which could be an opportunity. Median: $1.13 million. HOA: $1,860/year.

Sibley Forest borders the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area with backdoor trail access. Great elementary zoning at Sope Creek, but the school path splits after that. Median: $1.125 million. Sellers are getting 94% of asking vs. 100% last year. HOA: $1,350/year.

Jackson's Creek is built around a 26-acre lake and is the most affordable on this list. Zoned to Dickerson and Walton, regardless of which side you live on. Median: $735,000. Sellers are negotiating about 6% off the asking price. HOA: $725/year.

I've moved clients into every single one of these neighborhoods, and they've all loved living there. These are communities with great school districts, strong amenity packages, and a feel that keeps people staying long after they move in.

If you're thinking about a move to Metro Atlanta and want help figuring out which neighborhood fits your family's lifestyle, I'd love to talk it through.
