Located 30 miles from downtown Atlanta, Fayette County’s master-planned Peachtree City is America’s largest golf cart community. It has more than 100 miles of scenic multiuse trails, allowing residents to get anywhere in the city by golf cart, bike or on foot. Established in 1959, Peachtree City is home to 40,000 residents. It was designed so each of its five “villages” has shopping centers, parks and elementary schools. Retirees appreciate the relaxed lifestyle that Peachtree City offers, while families are drawn to its top-rated school district. “Peachtree City is a very higher-end area. It’s good for raising families because there’s low crime,” says Tim Stout, a Realtor with My Brokerage, who’s been selling homes in the area for 15 years. “It’s laid-back, but they’ve got a lot going on. There’s a lot of good shopping and restaurants. There are always events and festivals going on. There are a lot of golf courses, too. A lot of people there play golf.”
