Situated in north Gwinnett County approximately 30 miles northeast from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta Central Business District (CBD), Suwanee is a true bedroom community of Atlanta.  Over the past five years, the community has been a magnet for professional families because of its excellent school system, eco-friendly tendencies, and overall family-oriented feel of the development.  The tagline for Suwanee  communicates the community's focus on resident happieness and well-being:  "Play Hard, Live Well, Smile More."

The town center, a 63-acre mixed-use development, anchors the City of Suwanee.  The town center includes a 10-acre park and amphitheater, City Hall, and a number of restaurants, boutiques, professional and medical services, and residences.  The vision and development of town center commenced in 2002, and today it is a vibrant and widely used amenity by families - residents and visitors alike.  Events such as the summer concert series have attracted more than 15,000 visitors.

Forty acres of residential development - Shadowbrook at Suwanee Town Center - is also key component of the town center.  At build-out, the town center will boast 85 single-family homes and 147 townhome and condo units.  The neo-traditional style homes borrow features from historic forms and styles and utilize materials such siding and brick.  Resale listings indicate current townhome pricing from $199,000 to $240,000 and single-family pricing from $260,000 to $280,000.

Suwanee is helping to lead the effort for more sustainable and eco-conscious practices in the Atlanta area. In addition to many green policies adopted to ensure more energy-efficient and environmentally smart government operations (e.g., prohibiting idling of city vehicles when not actively transporting from one location to another), City Hall was the second LEED-certified public building in Gwinnett County.   

Suwanee is widely acclaimed for its outstanding development and revitalization efforts.  Suwanee has been designated a Community of Excellence, Mainstreet Community, and member of Green Communities Program.
