About
Life in Peachtree Corners
If you're considering Peachtree Corners, you're looking at a solidly built suburb with real economic substance behind it. The city has become a legitimate corporate destination with major shipping, medical device, telecom, and tech operations, which keeps the job market reasonably healthy at 2.6% unemployment. That said, the median home price around $485,000 and median rent near $1,701 suggest this isn't a bargain neighborhood anymore—you're paying for proximity to Atlanta and established infrastructure.
