"A Great Place To Live"

Peyton Forest is located in Georgia. It is 4 miles west of the downtown Atlanta area. Route 295 is nearby and so is Route 20, making great access in and around this neighborhood.

This is a kid friendly area, with plenty of good schools, the Peyton Forest Elementary School is just one of them. Many people that live in the area rave about the quality of the schools. They also like to have pets in this safe community. There are all different types of people that live in the area and they enjoy good work positions and a relaxing and happy lifestyle.

Great places to see in Peyton Forest are the Wren’s Nest museum, the Atlanta Aquarium and the Zoo Atlanta. The Georgia Dome, where the NFL Atlanta Falcons play, is not too far away. Another great place to visit when in the area is the Georgia World Congress Center, which is about five miles away, where great concerts are held. There are plenty of great restaurants for dining purposes and good shopping nearby.

Peyton Forest is wonderful place to live. Many people love to call it their home and they tend to stay there once they are a part of the community because they like it so much.

"Everybody loves trees"

Peyton Forest is a small neighborhood located in southwest Atlanta. The area is essentially a nice middle class Atlanta suburb. The neighborhood is surrounded by beautiful large shade trees, which gives it a nice nature-like sort of feeling. Interstate 20 is not too far away, which means that you are minutes away from city shopping and dining. In addition, this neighborhood only about 15 minutes or so away from Downtown Atlanta, so that you can easily access to the big city popular attractions.

I would actually consider living here because I just love the houses in this neighborhood. I mean, who doesn’t love large affordable houses with big yards? Many of the houses are nice sturdy brick homes that were built around the 1980’s and have been nicely maintained. Nearby Schools include Peyton Forest Elementary, Douglass High, West Manor School and Worthy’s Christian Academy.

There are also several parks nearby, should you feel the need to explore around a bit. The only downfall about this neighborhood, is that there are some less desirable areas nearby. There are also not many shopping options or nightlife to entertain the younger crowd. I might recommend this area for families looking to get a good deal on houses, and possibly even retired individuals that don’t mind living tucked away from the city.
Pros
  • lovely shade trees
Cons
  • not much to do
  • some areas are a little rough
