Peachtree City, GA Voted As One of the Top 10 Places to Live in America In 2009!
July 16, 2009 by Greg Saunders
Kudos to you Peachtree City…Again! Money magazine has graciously awarded the city the recognition as being one of the best small towns to live in the US. That’s some awesome bragging rights baby!
Coming in at #8, Peachtree City and it 34,000 plus residents will all tell you that there is no better place to live and raise a family on this planet! Personally, it would be pretty hard to disagree and not acknowledge their strong sense of community. Besides…what’s not to love?
All you have to do is take a drive via your personal vehicle or on a golf cart down the beautiful tree-lined street, roads, and avenues or cruise the 90 miles of golf cart paths to recognize that this is a unique and beautiful sanctuary. Not to mention the miles of friendly smiles you will see on the faces of all that call Peachtree City….home!!
So what is there to do in Peachtree City you might ask? How about let’s start with recreation! Peachtree City has swimming pools; a soccer complex; baseball, softball & football fields; a BMX track; numerous parks & playgrounds; the Alta-approved tennis center; and the Kendron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center. Oh yeah did I mention the Fred (Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater)…a 2,000 seat facility?
Additionally, for all of those that consider shopping a viable sport. Stroll the promenades of the Avenues at Peachtree City. Its a breath of air for the traditional mall routine offering an upscale “open air” shopping experience. There are also some great restaurants to check out before or after shopping.
Okay….So what were the factors that were used to determine where were the best places to live? Well, Money magazine considered the economy, job growth, incomes, housing affordability, education, and crime statistics. As I mentioned earlier, Peachtree City has been distinguished before by the magazine. In 2005 the city was ranked #8 and back in 2007 #67.
Finally, I wanted to also recognize both Suwanee (#35) and Martinez (#63) for making the Top 100 list. So for all you city folk from the east, midwest, northwest and other parts of our great country….if you are looking for a great place to raise your family or even retire, maybe Georgia should be on your mind.
