What BestPlaces Users Say about Fayetteville

Fayetteville, Georgia is a small city located in the Atlanta metropolitan area. It is known for its charming downtown area and strong sense of community. With a population of just over 17,000, it offers a quiet and suburban lifestyle while still being within reach of the bustling city. The cost of living is slightly higher than the national average, but residents enjoy a high quality of life and plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities. Now, let's take a look at what real people have to say about living in Fayetteville.

Samantha J. says, "I have lived in Fayetteville for over 10 years and it's been a great place to raise my family. The schools are excellent and there are plenty of community events to get involved in. The only downside is the traffic on the main roads during rush hour."

John R. comments, "Fayetteville is a beautiful and quiet place to live. The downtown area is quaint and there are plenty of parks and trails to explore. However, the cost of living can be a bit steep, especially for housing. Overall, it's a great place for families and retirees."

Lisa K. shares, "I moved to Fayetteville for work and I have to say, I'm not a fan. The town lacks diversity and there isn't much to do in terms of entertainment. The restaurants are limited and there aren't many options for shopping. I'm looking to move to a more lively area."

On the other hand, Mary P. raves, "I absolutely love living in Fayetteville. The people here are so welcoming and friendly. The cost of living is worth it for the peaceful and safe environment. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else."

City of Lies - 6/22/2021
I have lived in this city for 9 years with my children and experienced the worst in my lifetime. Police are not supportive. Pedestrians get hit or run over. Gardens get vandalized. People steal your belongings. Schools are segregated. They had a Nazi teaching some students English but neglecting others. Faculty feel they should not keep parents informed. They keep raising rent and taxes. They added divets to the road to prevent cyclists from using them. City officials are ill mannered and dismissive. Read More

Great schools! - 5/23/2011
Moved here with my 3 sons and husband in spring of 2009 and am really impressed with the elementary and middle school here. (Spring Hill Elem. and Bennetts Mill Middle) My kids have continued to excel with great teachers and especially love our middle school principal, Mrs. Presley-King. She doesn't miss any of the after school events and makes a point of noticing the children and their leadership abilities! We move a lot and so happy that we landed Read More

Summer and Winter - 1/30/2010
In Summer, it's hot and dry, 80-90F easily, every day. If there's a breeze it's more tolerable, otherwise, I find it pretty oppressive.

Winter can be a bit more erratic; cold one week, a little warm the next. Definitely need to keep an eye on the forecast. Though, the slightest chance of snow can shut down schools, if you're into that kind of thing.

All in all, doesn't seem like many stretches of enjoyable (50-60F) weather to me. Wouldn't mind Read More

It's home to me - 8/14/2009
Overall, I like Fayetteville. I grew up here and it will always be my home. It's changed a lot over the years mostly growing. I remember when some of the only sit down places to eat in Fayetteville included Shoney's and the Chick-fil-a Dwarf House. But, it's good for a city to grow, it brings in more businesses and jobs, and while there's more traffic and perhaps more chain type businesses than there used to be I still love it. Housing is nice, you're always just 20 miles south of Hartsfield airport and Atlanta, and the schools are Read More
