Atlanta’s southside communities—Clayton, Coweta, Henry and Fayette counties—present sprawling state parks and nature preserves, ample recreational opportunities and quick access to international destinations via Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The area also attracts big business through the Shenandoah Industrial and Business Park and the Atlanta Tradeport.

Live
The southside offers a diverse sampling of neighborhoods. You have a spectrum of choices that range from the antebellum-style homes of historic Newnan to the country club communities of Stockbridge.
Each of the southside neighborhoods and cities offer a mix of architectural styles and access to good schools. Southside cities include: College Park, Eagles Landing, Fairburn, Fayetteville, Hampton, Jonesboro, McDonough, Newnan, Peachtree City and Stockbridge.

Work
The southside’s quality of life and access to transportation hubs are just two of the many reasons why businesses choose it for their regional headquarters and distribution centers. Coweta County is a key distribution center for Rite Aid, K-Mart and Petsmart. Other major employers for the area are the Federal Aviation Administration, Georgia Crown, GENCO/Kimberly Clark and Snapper Power Equipment. The southside is home to several international companies, including Yokogawa Corporation, Kawasaki Construction Machinery and Yamaha Motor Manufacturers.

Play
With more than 100 golf courses in Fayette County, you’re likely to find more than one reason to improve your handicap. If you’d rather trade your clubs for hiking boots, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors at Panola State Park, Reynolds Nature Preserve and International Park.
Come springtime, Atlanta’s southside communities host a variety of events, including the Renaissance Festival in Fairburn, Ole Stockbridge Days in Stockbridge and the Spring Art Walk in Newnan.

Experience
The southside has its share of must-see attractions, but the Atlanta Motor Speedway, in Hampton, tops the list. Wanna go fast? The Richard Petty Driving Experience gives you the chance to drive or ride along in a stock car on the speedway’s track at up to 165 mph. If you’d rather watch from the stands, the Atlanta Motor Speedway hosts several NASCAR events—the Kobalt Tools 500, the American Commercial Lines 200 and the Georgia Power Qualifying rounds for the NASCAR Sprint Series.
