Peachtree Corners 30340
Gwinnett County's only incorporated city and one of Metro Atlanta's most desirable suburbs. A thriving tech corridor, top-rated Gwinnett County schools, planned community amenities, and convenient I-85 access make this area a magnet for families and professionals.
Welcome to 30340.
ZIP code 30340 covers two distinct communities in Gwinnett County: Peachtree Corners and parts of Norcross. Peachtree Corners is Gwinnett County's only incorporated city and one of the most desirable suburbs in Metro Atlanta. It is a planned community known for its thriving tech industry corridor anchored by NCR headquarters, top-rated Gwinnett County public schools, and family-friendly suburban living centered around the award-winning Town Center.
Norcross, the older and more established community within 30340, offers a contrasting character with its historic downtown district, Victorian architecture, and one of the most diverse and authentic food scenes in the Atlanta metro. Where Peachtree Corners feels modern, master-planned, and corporate, Norcross feels historic, organic, and cultural. Together they create a ZIP code that offers both the planned community experience and genuine historic character within a few miles of each other.
The 30340 market serves a broad range of buyers: tech professionals working at the many companies along Peachtree Parkway, families drawn to the Gwinnett County school system, investors targeting one of the most diverse and fastest-growing counties in the Southeast, and anyone who wants a suburban lifestyle with excellent connectivity to Atlanta via I-85. Whether you are looking for a modern townhome in a walkable planned community or a historic bungalow near a vibrant downtown, 30340 delivers options you won't find anywhere else in the north metro.
30340 is really two markets in one. Peachtree Corners delivers the planned community lifestyle with excellent schools and a real sense of place around the Town Center. Norcross gives you historic character and a food scene that punches well above its weight. The common thread is Gwinnett County — one of the most dynamic, diverse, and fast-growing counties in the country. I have helped families find the right fit in both communities, and the key is understanding which side of 30340 matches your lifestyle.

New construction townhomes and patio homes are popular with downsizers and young professionals who want walkability to the Town Center's shops and restaurants. Norcross offers a completely different product: historic Victorian-era homes near the downtown district, mid-century ranches in established subdivisions from the 1960s through 1990s, and more affordable older homes that attract first-time buyers and investors. The ZIP code genuinely has something for every buyer.
Price Trends & Appreciation
30340 has seen strong and steady appreciation driven by the tech corridor employment base, Gwinnett County school reputation, and the area's excellent I-85 connectivity. Peachtree Corners commands higher prices due to newer housing stock, planned community amenities, and proximity to the Town Center and tech employers. Norcross offers more affordable entry points while still benefiting from the same school district and location advantages. The market typically sees average days on market of 38 to 50 days, with well-priced homes in the most desirable Peachtree Corners neighborhoods moving faster.

Competition is steady, especially in Peachtree Corners where the combination of great schools and tech job proximity keeps demand strong. Get pre-approved early for a clear picture of your budget.
