The City of Peachtree is most known for its golf carts. With over 8,000 of them currently registered within city borders, most Peachtree residents own one. It is common to find residents (yes, in their golf carts) all along the city's 90-mile network of paved multi-use pathways that interlink neighborhoods with commercial centers. Access to nearby Atlanta makes the town even more desirable. -I.T.
