What is not so obvious is why. The city was very carefully planned. This plan detailed everything from the placement of the industrial park, neighborhoods and shopping centers to the golf car trails, golf courses, and parks. As part of the city plan, tree cutting is restricted, green belt buffer space is reserved, business signs are limited to 4 feet tall, and the village layout neatly divides the city into several parts making it seem like several small towns in close vicinity.

The city is divided up into six parts. There are 5 villages Glenloch, Braelinn, Kedron, Aberdeen, and West Side. There is also a 2,600 acre industrial park located on the western side of the city.The primary traffic artery is the 7 mile stretch of Hwy 74 between Peachtree City and Interstate 85. The secondary artery is Hwy 54 which links Peachtree City to Newnan toward the West and Fayetteville to the East.
