Where it is

The city’s 2022 Comprehensive Plan (PDF) names a Powder Springs Gateway area. It says the area “addresses the need for new investment and major redevelopment in a declining gateway into Downtown Marietta and envisions a new neighborhood center at Powder Springs Street and Sandtown Road.”

This page covers the city’s parcels south of the Whitlock Avenue area and west of the Manget area, out to the city limits. Fair Oaks, an unincorporated community that Cobb County governs, borders it to the south; an address there is outside the city even when it says Marietta.

ZIP codes in the city’s parcel data: 30008 for 53% of parcels and 30064 for 45%.

Schools

The area is inside the city, so it is served by Marietta City Schools. Dunleith Elementary, at 120 Saine Drive, and Hickory Hills Elementary, at 500 Redwood Drive SW, are both here. The share column is the share of parcels in this area zoned to each school in the city’s parcel data; the score is the school’s 2025 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) from the state’s School Grades report.

Another 3% of parcels are zoned to A.L. Burruss Elementary. Homes in Fair Oaks and elsewhere outside the city are in the Cobb County School District. More in our schools guide.

How we drew this area

The area is the city parcels south of the Whitlock Avenue area and west of the Manget area, out to the city limits. The comprehensive plan names the Powder Springs Gateway but does not publish a parcel boundary, so edges are approximate. School and ZIP shares count every parcel in that area in the city’s parcel data on Oct. 5, 2026; subdivision and apartment counts come from the city’s subdivisions and apartments layer on the same date.
