Atlanta suburb with a strong community
Tyrone is a laid-back Atlanta suburb with a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. “Most people, when they settle here, they stay here for a while,” says Patty Newland, Branch Manager at Tyrone Public Library who has served the area for 23 years. “You have long-term relationships. We get to know the folks that come to our library by name. You have the same people who were at our story time as toddlers now here at the library with their children.” Located about 30 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta, Tyrone residents enjoy a leisurely pace removed from the city; many residents get around town on golf carts, and weekends include pickleball tournaments, outdoor concerts on lawn chairs and catching up with friends at local cafes.

Getting outside at Shamrock Park and Dorothea Redwine Park
Shamrock Park is central to the lives of Tyrone's active residents. The park has walking trails, a picnic pavilion, green space for events and a playground that was installed in 2022. The Tyrone Public Library and Roger Spencer Community Center also sit on the other side of the lake. Less than 1 mile down the road, Dorothea Redwine Park has eight pickleball courts installed in late 2023. “The pickleball courts stay very busy,” Newland says. “It’s a golden age for Tyrone with some of the new things we’re putting in and just keeping up with trends and doing what people want.”
You can gather with friends to play pickleball on the new courts at Dorothea Redwine Park.

Community events at Shamrock Park
One of Tyrone’s largest events, Founders Day, has been going on annually for more than 40 years. This festival at Shamrock Park features a 5K road race, fireworks, pageants, vendors and more. “Our parks and rec department has a wonderful team. They put together the Founders Day event, and they also do a Christmas Tree Lighting that’s very community-oriented,” Newland says. Also at Shamrock Park, the city hosts its First Friday events each month from June to September. “People just bring their chairs, hang out and enjoy the vibe. There’s usually food trucks and vendors, and it’s just very chill and laid back,” Newland says. Just down the road, residents can learn more about the area at The Tyrone Museum, which preserves the history of the Creek Indians — Tyrone’s original inhabitants — and later settlers from Scotland and Ireland.

The older houses in Tyrone include brick-front ranches built between the 1960s and ‘80s priced between $200,000 and $450,000.

Trilith Studios nearby in Fayetteville
Although Tyrone has a relaxed vibe, the occasional film production shoots can block off some roads and invite some excitement. “Fayette County has done a lot of filming and working with Hollywood crews. Trilith Studios has brought a new vibe to Fayette County,” Newland says. “There’s been a couple of scouting crews looking around this business, and they’ve looked at our building. It’s exciting.”
Tyrone Park offers stage entertainment and classes at Legacy Theater.

Driving on Interstate 85 and getting around by golf cart
Tyrone is about 3 miles off Interstate 85, which takes residents northeast to Downtown Atlanta. Atlanta is about 30 miles away, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is just 18 miles away. “It’s an easy vibe in Tyrone. A lot of people are commuting to Atlanta. With that kind of commute, most people just want to kick back on the weekend,” Newland says. Many residents also travel around the area on golf carts, with some dedicated multi-use paths and “share the road” laws allowing golf carts on roads with a speed limit of 35 MPH or less. “There are paths that connect Tyrone with Peachtree City, so it’s easy to go and get shopping done. We’re expanding some other cart paths, including one connecting to the local high school,” Newland says. Tyrone also has a particularly low crime risk, scoring a 1 out of 10 on the CAP Index, the lowest possible score.
The southern side of the community has a rock quarry. According to a representative of the Cresswind Peachtree City retirement community next to the facility, the quarry notifies nearby residents when it is blasting rock, which can cause brief noise disruptions.
Residents in Tyrone often travel around the neighborhood in golf carts.
Tyrone Park is 40 minutes from Atlanta via I-85 North.
