Small-town Georgia living with easy access to the big city

Quaint Charming Community Affordable Wooded

Located in aptly-named Peach County, Byron is a classically southern town in Central Georgia. The heart of the city lies at the railroad crossing that runs along Main St. and East Heritage Blvd. City Hall and a few stores occupy the area, including Drugstore Deli, a locally owned café that’s always busy.

Aside from the modest city center, Byron is largely residential. Its size means that you’ll get to know your neighbors in no time, and that space and home sizes are larger and more affordable than Macon or Atlanta. Extra space doesn’t mean you’re out of reach of the conveniences of the city, however. Macon is just 25 minutes to the east via I-75, and Atlanta another hour north.
