Welcome to Lawrenceville

Located about 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, Lawrenceville is Gwinnett County’s historic heart—where classic Southern charm meets rapid growth. It’s one of the most diverse and affordable areas in Metro Atlanta, attracting families, young professionals, and first-time homeowners looking for space and convenience without the high price tag.

Downtown Lawrenceville has seen major revitalization in recent years. The Lawrenceville Lawn and Depot District host concerts, farmers markets, and community events that give the city a lively, small-town feel. Locals love dining at Local Republic, catching a show at the Aurora Theatre, or enjoying brunch at Blue Rooster Bake Shop.

The city is also home to Georgia Gwinnett College, adding youthful energy and growth to the area. Shopping and entertainment are nearby at Sugarloaf Mills and Gas South District, while outdoor escapes like Alexander Park, Rhodes Jordan Park, and Tribble Mill Park offer miles of walking and biking trails.

Lawrenceville’s location along Highway 316 makes commuting to Atlanta, Athens, or other Gwinnett hubs easy. With new mixed-use developments, expanding job centers, and strong community investment, Lawrenceville is quickly becoming one of Metro Atlanta’s most dynamic and livable suburban cities.
