Where it is

The nomination (PDF) for the Whitlock Avenue Historic District describes “a residential historic district centered along a major thoroughfare running east to west on the west side of Marietta,” about 82 acres. Its houses date “from antebellum times to the mid 1930s,” from “Greek Revival style mansions complete with columned porticoes” to “Victorian town houses” and “smaller, more modest dwellings.”

The city’s neighborhoods map layer names two neighborhoods at the in-town end: Whitlock and Marietta Walk. OpenStreetMap also places a neighborhood named Whitlock south of the avenue. West of the parkway loop, this page covers the city’s parcels on both sides of Whitlock Avenue out to the city limits, south of the Northwest Marietta area and north of the Powder Springs Street area.

In the city’s parcel data, 99% of parcels here are in ZIP code 30064. Whitlock Avenue is a state route; GDOT road work on it is listed in our road construction guide.

Schools

The area is inside the city, so it is served by Marietta City Schools. Marietta High, at 1171 Whitlock Ave. SW, and A.L. Burruss Elementary, at 325 Manning Road, 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.
