Bill Arp is a rural community 30 miles west of Atlanta

Located just south of Interstate 20, Bill Arp is an unincorporated community in Douglas County. The community offers residents multiple green spaces, easy access to interstates, and a place to call outside downtown Atlanta. “People like this area because it is rural, and you can get that country lifestyle,” says Tammy Bogle, who lives in Douglas County and is a Realtor with Southern Homes and Land Realty. “While it is rural, it is close to Douglasville and downtown Atlanta and provides a little more affordability than closer to the city.”
