With one of the highest-rated school systems in Georgia and the lowest crime rate in metro Atlanta, this family-oriented community is only 25 miles from Atlanta and 15 miles from Hartsfield International Airport, and is bounded by interstates.
An exciting, thriving business climate has led national and multinational corporations to establish administrative, distribution and manufacturing facilities in Fayette; commercial and industrial tracts are strategically zoned, available and reasonably priced. The climate is also ideal for young companies and entrepreneurs, and businesses with local origins are among the county’s biggest employers.
Peachtree City dominates the residential market by its sheer size and reputation. Established more than 30 years ago, the 15,000-acre master-planned community is one of the most successful such developments in the country, with its homes and condominiums ranging from the $80s to near $1 million.
