The City of Suwanee has been named one of the top spots in the nation for families to plant roots. Ranked 27th on Fortune's annual Top 50 Best Places to Live for Families list, Suwanee outpaced over 2,000 other US cities to secure its place and it snagged the honor of being the number one city in Georgia for families. Fortune's list, highly regarded for its comprehensive assessment of factors like education and general wellness, positions Suwanee as a beacon for multigenerational living in America.
Known for balancing historic allure with state-of-the-art amenities, Suwanee, which is a suburb situated northeast of Atlanta, has fostered a blend that resonates with residents and visitors alike, earning national kudos in the process. As part of a vibrant revamp, Old Town Suwanee's 56-acre historic district has emerged shining, and the bustling downtown Town Center has become the pulse of the city's energetic life. With a series of family-centric festivals hosted annually, Suwanee's community spirit remains effervescent year-round.
Those with an ear for modern lifestyles will find more to adore, as the City of Suwanee has anchored its cultural commitment with initiatives like SculpTour and the Art for All initiative. This effort has successfully generated over $1.25 million, fueling the burgeoning public art scene, as highlighted by the City. The city prides itself on catering to an array of interests, encouraging healthy and active lifestyles with the Suwanee Running Series, and fostering artistic pursuits through support of the Suwanee Arts Center, which also doubles as a welcome center for newcomers.
A fair to say as a stronghold of health and education, Suwanee's portfolio includes a robust healthcare system with four hospitals just a stone's throw away – a mere 10 miles to be exact. The city's public schools, too, fall under the top-performing Gwinnett County Public Schools, ensuring that the youth of Suwanee have access to top-tier education. "Suwanee’s inclusion in Fortune’s Best Places to Live for Families is a testament to our community’s dedication to creating a welcoming, connected, and thriving environment for all residents," Mayor Jimmy Burnette said, according to the City's announcement. Suwanee's climb up the Fortune ranks stands as a reflection of its continued investment in a quality lifestyle for its growing, diverse population.
