Peachtree City

Peachtree City is the ranking's biggest transportation exception. Its conventional Walk Score is low, but the city's 100+ miles of shared-use paths connect neighborhoods to shopping, medical parks and recreation, making golf carts and paths a real alternative to some car trips. It also posts the guide's strongest safety result and exceptional parks/active-living scores. Housing is mid-to-upper priced, and the city lacks rail transit, but for readers attracted to an active, planned-community lifestyle, Peachtree City is one of the strongest overall fits.
