Smyrna Named Georgia's 4th Most Affordable City

Smyrna was recently named Georgia's fourth most affordable city by Livability.com.

The website looked at various factors in determining its affordability list: quality of life, comparison to the average in cost of living to other cities, transportation and housing options.

Here's what Livability had to say about Smyrna:

"Just outside of bustling Atlanta, Smyrna has really come into its own in recent years.

"With a healthy median income of $61,333 and median home value of $208,500, there’s good reason why Smyrna is one of the fastest growing cities in the state.

"In order to keep up with the growth, Market Village, a mixed-use development featuring residential and commercial elements, such as retail, offices and restaurants, opened in the city.

"The paved, non-motorized Silver Comet Trail begins in Smyrna and ends 61.5 miles later at the Georgia/Alabama state line.

"Smyrna is also known for its great culinary scene."

Smyrna's sister city in Cobb County, Marietta, came in at No. 5.
