From the Mayor's Desk
Making Room for the Millennials
Peachtree Corners was founded on the concept of locating housing close to jobs, an innovative idea for a time when most housing and jobs were intentionally separated by miles of highways.
The "live near work" model has served the city well over the years and has resulted in quality single-family homes developed within easy access of Technology Park and other business developments.
The Baby Boomers and generations that followed have lead the demand for housing which, for the most part consisted of single-family homes within walking distance of a good school.
However, there is a new generation, the Millennials, (those between the ages of 19 and 30) who are now driving the housing needs of communities across the country. A home near schools is not the preferred housing choice of today's younger, tech savvy employee.
