Living in Lee's Crossing

Part of Lee's Crossing backs up to Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and the land underneath it has its own Civil War story. Lee's Crossing is a 409-home swim and tennis neighborhood inside the City of Marietta, built in the late 1970s on the old Manning family farm.

Where is Lee's Crossing?

The neighborhood is within the City of Marietta, in Cobb County. Its homes association says it is within walking distance of A.L. Burruss Elementary, Marietta High School and Laurel Park, and that parts of the neighborhood border the national battlefield park.

City location matters here. Homes inside Marietta city limits are generally served by Marietta City Schools rather than the Cobb County School District, and city taxes and services apply. Confirm both for the exact address.

What is the history of Lee's Crossing?

The Manning family owned the farm for more than 100 years. During the Civil War, the Smith-Manning house served as headquarters for Gen. William J. Hardee and as a hospital. In the late 1970s, the Manning estate and Cousins Properties developed the land into the subdivision you see today.

What amenities does Lee's Crossing have?

• A large clubhouse with a 1,500-square-foot meeting room, available to rent
• A junior Olympic pool, with a neighborhood swim team
• Four lighted courts for tennis or pickleball, reserved through the association's website, which issues a gate code
• A playground and two pavilions

The swim and tennis rules were revised on March 17, 2026, so all four courts now serve tennis or pickleball and reservations moved off the Hold My Court app. If court time matters to you, read the current rules before you make an offer.
