Grayson's population has grown from 765 residents in 2000 to an estimated 5,569 today — a sixfold increase that's transformed what was once a small rural community, originally named "Trip," into an increasingly built-out exurb. The city is entirely urban by Census classification now, a fast turn for a place this size.
What It's Known For
The Grayson Day Festival, held annually at the end of April, is the city's signature event — parades, vendors, live music — and Grayson City Park sits centrally as the community's gathering point. State Routes 20 and 84 connect it to the rest of the county.
Cost of Living & Commute
Grayson sits on the longer end of the county's 30–45 minute commute window to downtown Atlanta, which is part of what's kept its housing costs more approachable than closer-in cities even as growth accelerates.
Schools
Grayson is served by Gwinnett County Public Schools, in the Grayson cluster — Grayson High School, Bay Creek Middle School, and several elementary schools including Grayson, Trip, Pharr, and Starling. Check GCPS's zone lookup for the exact schools at a specific address.
