Smyrna is located about 10 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia, and is considered an integral part of the Metro Atlanta area. Strategically located near three interstate and intrastate highway systems - I-75, I-20, and I-285 - Smyrna is a great place to stay for easy access to metro Atlanta's major attractions, such as Truist Park, Georgia Aquarium, Six Flags Over Georgia, the Silver Comet Trail and many more.

Downtown Smyrna is home to Village Green, which is where the Community Center, the library, and arboretum reside. It is a focal point where people come together. The Market Village is the heart of downtown and "social center" of Smyrna and sits adjacent to the "Village Green." The 20th Century Veterans Memorial rests between the Village Green and the Market Village.
