Almost 30% of my residential real estate business metro Atlanta during 2010 were home sales in Smyrna, Georgia. Smyrna is a wonderful town located just west of Atlanta, right outside of I-285 to the west. Many people think Smyrna is an ideal location because of its easy accessibility to Atlanta’s interstate system, to the airport, and to Vinings and Buckhead.
Smyrna is so close to Atlanta’s niche neighborhood Vinings that homes that lie on or near the border with Vinings are said to be in “Sminings” or “Smynings”.
