If you’re searching for a luxury rental in Kennesaw, GA, you’ll likely weigh two appealing options: a townhome or an apartment. Both have their own rewards — and at Town Kennesaw, you don’t have to pick one community to get one or the other. We offer both, which means we can help you find not just a floor plan, but a lifestyle that fits the way you live.
The question isn’t which is better. It’s which suits you. The comparison below walks through the key differences so you can decide with confidence.
The biggest differences come down to layout and setup.
Apartments are single-level residences within a larger building, typically sharing a wall or two with neighbors. They tend to offer open, efficient layouts and effortless access to shared spaces like the fitness center, pool, and clubhouse.
Townhomes are multi-story residences — two or three floors — that deliver the feel of a private home within a professionally managed community. With private entrances, their own outdoor space, and distinct areas for living, sleeping, and entertaining, they offer many of the comforts of homeownership without the upkeep. Industry research from the National Multifamily Housing Council points to growing demand for townhome rentals among renters seeking extra space and privacy without the maintenance responsibilities.
For those exploring rental options near Atlanta, Town Kennesaw offers both — and a team ready to help you find the right fit.
A luxury apartment in Kennesaw offers a streamlined, single-level lifestyle — and depending on what you value most, that simplicity can be a real advantage.
Efficient, open layouts. Our one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments feature open floor plans, designer kitchens, expansive private terraces, generous walk-in closets, and spa-inspired baths. The spaces flow easily, making it just as natural to host friends, work from home, or simply settle into the everyday.
Amenities at your doorstep. Apartment residents are steps from the community’s most popular spaces — the resort-style pool, the fitness and wellness center with its yoga and spin studio and sauna, the Creek Cabin Fire Pit, the coworking lounge, and the pickleball court. Life beyond your door is every bit as inviting as the home within it.
Low-maintenance ease. With apartment living, there’s no yard to tend, no exterior to maintain, and no stairs to climb. For anyone who wants a refined, lock-and-leave lifestyle backed by professional management and 24-hour emergency maintenance, an apartment is a wonderfully convenient choice.
Smart-home ready. Every apartment comes with smartphone-enabled keyless entry, digital package delivery, a mobile app for resident services, and property-wide 1GB internet — a connected, digital-first foundation for the way you live today.
If you’re drawn to more space, more privacy, and a home that lives like a single-family house, renting a townhome in Kennesaw may be the better fit.
Multi-level living. Townhomes give you distinct floors for distinct purposes — a level for living and entertaining, another for rest, and often a private entry or flexible bonus space. It’s an ideal setup if you work from home, host often, or simply appreciate room to spread out.
Private entrances. Each Town Kennesaw townhome has its own private entrance, offering a sense of independence and privacy that feels far more like a house than a traditional apartment building.
Room to live. Across multiple floors, a townhome gives you the extra square footage that so often tops the wish list — room for a home office, space for guests, or simply more room to breathe. RentCafe’s renter preferences research consistently ranks space among the most sought-after features in a home.
Dedicated outdoor space. Many townhomes include a private patio or outdoor area — a welcome touch for anyone who wants the outdoors close at hand without stepping into a shared space.
And whichever you choose, townhome residents enjoy full access to every community amenity: the resort-style pool, a dedicated townhome pavilion with its own pool, the walking trails along the tranquil Noonday Creek, the sauna, the billiards lounge, the coworking spaces, the dog park, and the self-wash pet spa.
Whichever home you choose, the heart of the community stays the same. Set at 1545 Whitemarsh Road, Town Kennesaw is minutes from major routes like I-75 and everyday essentials at Kennesaw Marketplace, Whole Foods Market, and Town Center Mall, with the Noonday Creek Trail right outside your door. You’re close to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Kennesaw State University, the Cumberland/Perimeter Center employment corridor, and historic Marietta Square — with direct access to one of Cobb County’s most beloved multi-use greenways on the property itself.
You’ll also be part of an award-winning community, recognized with the 2025 CoStar Impact Award for Multifamily Development of the Year and the 2024 NAHB Best in American Living Silver Award — honors that reflect the care and craftsmanship behind every residence and shared space.
In the end, the best way to choose between a luxury apartment and a townhome is to experience both for yourself. Our leasing team would be glad to walk you through the available floor plans, answer your questions, and help you find the home that fits your lifestyle.
