The humble origins of "Gone With the Wind"
Fayetteville has existed for over 200 years and even inspired "Gone With the Wind," whose author, Margaret Mitchell, had family ties to the area. Today, this small city of over 20,000 continues making cinematic history. While Fayetteville maintains a historic character downtown, the second-largest movie studio in the U.S. opened on its western side in 2022, where every Marvel film has been created since. "They have constructed this whole community around it. So, there's houses and condos, and a whole city with really nice restaurants and shops and activities," says Realtor Ashley Barrett of Dwelli, who was raised here. "It grew the population a lot and just the appeal because following that they really renovated the downtown area." Another major employer is Atlanta's largest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, 15 miles away.
The city of Fayetteville was founded in 1823.
Trilith Studios stands out as a premier American film production studio, celebrated for its creation of blockbuster films that captivate audiences worldwide.

Living in Town at Trilith, downtown or the countryside
As Fayetteville blossoms, it’s meeting different lifestyles. "You can live downtown or in Trilith and be close to everything. Or you can live in the more rural parts of Fayetteville and have more acreage – 5 or 10 acres," Barrett says. New construction is cropping up on the outskirts of town and in Trilith. Downtown Fayetteville naturally has some of the city's oldest homes but also offers newer condos and townhouses. Platinum Ridge is one of the most upscale neighborhoods with estate-style properties on at least 5 acres, fetching over $1 million. The city's median home price is around $360,000, less than 3% lower than the state median.

Minus the sound of crickets in the summer months, Kenwood residents don’t have to worry about noisy neighbors. Located 5 miles north of Fayetteville and 20 miles south of Atlanta, this idyllic semirural community features homes that are well spread out from each other. Yet, amenities are just a short drive away. “Kenwood is the hidden gem of the metro Atlanta area,” says Danielle Rudolph, a real estate broker and developer with Rudolph & Co. Real Estate and Development, who has been selling homes in the area since 2021. “The reason why people want to live out there is because you have the ambiance of nature. People like having large acreage, mature trees and privacy. It’s very peaceful. Plus, it’s easy to commute to Atlanta in and out of the Kenwood area and the airport is minutes away.”
Most properties in Kenwood sit on half an acre or more with mature oak and cedar trees that are common to the area. However, there are a few pocket subdivisions with homes on smaller lots, closer to their neighbors.
The average sales price hovers around $425,000. Homebuyers can find a three-bedroom ranch-style home with roomy front and back yards in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. For $500,000 to $800,000, larger colonial-style houses sit on an acre or more. Luxury properties can reach the millions here, often occupying two-plus acres and including seven or more bedrooms, high ceilings and open floor plans. “Buyers like this neighborhood because it’s mature,” says Greg Boston, a senior agent with Redfin, who specializes in the area. “There’s not a lot of new construction, and people have been in their homes a while.”
Public school students may attend North Fayette Elementary, Flat Rock Middle and Sandy Creek High. Park of the Fayette County Public Schools system, the schools earn B-plus, A-minus and B Niche grades respectively. Home of the Patriots, Sandy Creek High boasts a state-championship-winning football team.
Residents are 20 miles from Atlanta and 11 miles from the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport via Route 279 North. Fayetteville can be reached with a 5-mile drive south on Route 314.
Just 3 miles south of the community is the Fayette Pavilion shopping mall, an outdoor series of adjoining strip malls offering everything locals need, from retail and dining to entertainment and groceries. Residents can stop by Publix to pick up ingredients for dinner or eat out at one of the various chain restaurants, like Olive Garden and La Parrilla Mexican Restaurant. There’s also a Home Depot, Walmart and Cinemark Tinseltown theater.
For an evening out, Line Creek Brewing Company on City Center Parkway in Fayetteville is a popular spot for craft beer and live music. The watering hole is kid-friendly and has its own playground.
Kenwood Park on Route 279 is the centerpiece of the community. At 172 acres, the park features two playgrounds —one for older kids and another for younger kids. There are also multiple sports courts here, for tennis, basketball and sand volleyball, and a soccer field surrounded by a track is a great spot to run or kick a ball around. Several other options are available in Fayetteville, like The Ridge Nature Preserve on Burch Road. With seven miles of trails that wind through the woods, it’s a popular spot for hiking, running and mountain biking. “Fayetteville is a place where people like to get out,” Boston says. “There are bike trails, park areas and outdoor breweries. It’s a nice area to be outdoorsy.”
Fun Spot America theme park is just east of the community, offering a variety of rides from bumper cars to roller coasters.
