About the Community
Lawrenceville sits approximately 30 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta in Gwinnett County — one of Georgia's most populous and rapidly growing suburban communities. The area offers easy access to Atlanta's world-class dining, shopping, cultural institutions, and major airport, while maintaining a lower cost of living and a distinctly suburban quality of life. Gwinnett County is home to the Atlanta Gladiators and Gwinnett Stripers, and the University of Georgia in Athens is a short drive away, adding collegiate energy and additional amenities to the region.
