Market Intelligence

Kennesaw Commercial Real Estate Market

Kennesaw's commercial real estate market has been transformed by Kennesaw State University's growth into one of the largest universities in the nation, with 43,000+ students across two campuses. This enrollment — larger than UGA's undergraduate population — generates commercial demand for housing, dining, retail, entertainment, and services that has reshaped the area surrounding campus. The Chastain Road and Frey Road corridors have become student-serving commercial zones, while the broader KSU economic impact extends to employment, research spending, and cultural activity that touches the entire Kennesaw market.

Town Center at Cobb and the Barrett Parkway retail corridor form Kennesaw's primary commercial concentration outside the university area, serving both the local population and regional shoppers from Cherokee and upper Cobb counties. Industrial demand along I-75 and the Cobb International Boulevard corridor benefits from the interstate's north-south freight connectivity and Kennesaw's position between Atlanta and the growing north Georgia market. WellStar Health System maintains medical facilities in the Kennesaw area, generating healthcare demand along Town Center Drive and the Barrett Parkway medical corridor.

Kennesaw's cap rates offer 50 to 100 basis points above comparable south Cobb locations, reflecting the market's transition from value suburb to established commercial node. The buyer pool includes student housing and commercial investors targeting KSU, Atlanta metro portfolio builders expanding into Cobb County, and I-75 logistics investors. For sellers, connecting your property to the KSU growth story or the I-75 corridor narrative strengthens buyer interest — KSU's continued enrollment growth and campus investment provide a forward-looking demand story that appeals to growth-oriented investors.
