Peachtree Corners
Gwinnett's newest city, built around technology.
Peachtree Corners was unincorporated Gwinnett farmland known as Pinckneyville until 1967, when Paul Duke launched Technology Park Atlanta as a low-density tech campus, and the area grew up around it. Voters incorporated the City of Peachtree Corners in 2012, Gwinnett's newest and largest city, and the town center built after that now anchors the city around the Town Green and the Forum.

Aussie Rob's take
If I were choosing Peachtree Corners, I would spend a weekday lunch at the Town Center and a weekend morning at Jones Bridge, because that split is the whole pitch: civic life and river green, five minutes apart.
