Peachtree Corners was conceived by developer Paul Duke in the late 1960s as a planned community — the only one of its kind among Atlanta's northern suburbs — and the city has leaned hard into a tech-forward identity since incorporating. Curiosity Lab, a 500-acre smart-city technology park built with T-Mobile and Georgia Tech, includes a 25,000-square-foot innovation center and a 3-mile autonomous-vehicle test track.
What It's Known For
Over 2,300 businesses operate in the city, including Comcast, Intuitive Surgical, Amazon, Siemens, and Hapag-Lloyd. The city brands itself "Innovative & Remarkable" and has piloted things like solar roadways and a teleoperated e-scooter fleet — genuinely unusual amenities for a suburb this size, alongside more conventional walkable trail and mixed-use development.
Cost of Living & Commute
Peachtree Corners sits inside the standard 30–45 minute commute window to downtown Atlanta, with a dense local business base that means a meaningful share of residents work close to home rather than commuting downtown at all.
Schools
Peachtree Corners is served by Gwinnett County Public Schools, with Norcross High School and Paul Duke STEM High School among the options depending on address, plus Pinckneyville and Summerour middle schools. Check GCPS's own zone lookup for a specific address.
