The honors for suburban towns on the north side of metro Atlanta keep rolling in endlessly. Subsequently, Suwanee, Georgia was named by Money Magazine (August, 2007 issue) as one of the top ten places in the nation to live. Factors considered by Money included economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do, and a real sense of community.

What makes Suwanee such a great place to live? According to Money, Sauwnee has:

• A progressive, friendly community
• More than 500 acres of parkland and miles of walking and biking trails - Suwanee is known throughout the state for preserving greenspace and creating parks
• Newly developed Town Center Park that boasts top quality restaurants, shops, office spaces and an ampitheatre that meshes with nearby townhouses and single-family homes
• Free city sponsored concerts and activities
• Top ranked schools
• Affordable housing - you can get into a nice four-bedroom for $250,000

Located about 13 miles north of Atlanta, Suwanee is well-known around the region for its distinctive parks, crowd-pleasing events, and high-quality mixed-use developments.
