The name Maroussi originates from the ancient Greek last name Amaroussia and refers to the Goddess of Hunting, Artemis.
This Municipality enormously developed after 1980 and has tripled its population. It belongs to the northern suburbs of Athens and is one of the most popular areas of Attica.
Intensive reconstruction over the last decades has created a modern area, with many new buildings, new neighborhoods and a large variety of utility of the area. Great real estate offers, over a long period of time, provided potential residents the opportunity to acquire new properties at affordable rates. Due to its geographical location and easy access, it became a very populated and sought-after area but also of high professional interest. Additionally, some of the largest hospitals and maternity clinics of Attica are located in Maroussi.
This Municipality is divided in different zones. Some are of a residential character, others are mainly business oriented, such as the zone where the biggest mall of the city is located or the area around Kifissias Avenue and the Attica Road Ring, which are full of office spaces and buildings. This zone concentrates a significant proportion of business activity, mainly in the field of services, such as health (Iatropolis), the financial sector (system of interbank trading DIAS), telecommunications and retail (Golden Hall, The Mall Athens, Avenue). There is also an area where old marble wholesalers operate their businesses and some areas that are off city plans. The privileged districts are Aghia Filothei and Polidroso, Anavrita and Nea Lesvos, as well as the stylish neighborhoods adjoining the area of Pefki.
