As common to the entire Southeast, Fayette County is steeped in a rich history, including many events and figures that have shaped American history. Boasting a delightful small town atmosphere, Fayette County is home to several family oriented communities. Strategically located just 25 miles from Atlanta and 15 miles from Hartsfield International Airport, by utilizing the many surrounding interstates, residents are never far from the amenities of the metro Atlanta area. Within the county, a burgeoning business climate has drawn numerous multinational corporations to establish administrative, manufacturing, and distribution facilities throughout the county’s many industrial tracts.

This 15,000-acre, master-planned community was first established in 1959 and is a model for many other similar communities throughout the nation. Boasting the South’s highest per capita ownership of golf carts, Peachtree City residents enjoy hassle-free access to their community utilizing over 70 miles of cart paths.
