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.

Spacious new traditional and Craftsman-style homes

Tyrone’s housing stock almost exclusively consists of single-family homes. Many homes – even in subdivisions – sit on relatively large plots of land, offering residents green space and privacy. The older houses in Tyrone include brick-front ranches built between the 1960s and ‘80s priced between $200,000 and $450,000. Craftsman style and new traditional properties built between the 1990s and today are also popular, and often feature design elements like exposed beams, entryways with columns and steeply pitched roofs. These larger homes typically cost between $450,000 and $850,000 and can sometimes cost over $1 million for properties with more land and square footage of living space.

Students attend Fayette County schools and private options

Students may begin school at Robert J. Burch Elementary School, which earned an A-minus grade from Niche, before advancing to A-rated Flat Rock Middle School and B-plus-rated Sandy Creek High School. Sandy Creek High School has strong athletic programs, with The Patriots taking home the 2024 and 2023 state championship titles for basketball and the 2022 AAA state championship title for football, among other wins. All the schools are within walking distance of each other along Jenkins Road. “It’s convenient if you have kids in different education levels. It’s all right there,” Newland says. The area also has private schooling options, including the K-8 Crossroads Christian School.

Robert J. Burch Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 12 to 1.

Visitors can enjoy a latte alongside a massive, freshly baked pastry from the shop’s display case. Residents also head to Modern Thai Restaurant for casual sit-down dining and dishes like Pad Thai, yellow curry chicken and sauteed eggplant. Residents head across the street at Southampton Village for groceries at Publix or drive to nearby Peachtree City to shop at big box stores like Target.

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.”

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.
