As of Spring 2024, “Lawrenceville’s currently witnessing a surge in positive commercial and residential development,” says Allyson Harris, a Gwinnett County resident and Real Estate Professional, “so there’s been an increase in the city's overall value.” Within this traditional bedroom community, residents can enjoy a local downtown dining scene , the Aurora Theatre for live performances, and baseball games at Coolray Field Ball Park.
Since 2009, Coolray Field is a spot for various Collins Hill events such as concerts and games.
