The Hamilton Mill development 45 minutes northeast of Atlanta, was one of the first major residential "home town" developments north of Atlanta. The concept is somewhat like the Peachtree City model south of Atlanta in Fayette County. With over 2200 homes, the original plan was to have everything close to home, to maintain the "home town" feel of community.
