Peachtree City has been named one of the top 10 places to retire in the United States by U.S. News and World Report magazine.

The city’s cart path system was one of the features lauded in the magazine’s story about Peachtree City. Golf carts are often hailed as a reliable method of transportation for seniors, giving them a way to avoid using their cars all the time.

The story’s author also noted, “Lush greenery eclipses buildings, making the wooded town feel tucked away in its own world.”

Also cited as factors in the ranking were the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, professional and college sports teams located nearby and two of the city’s flagship corporate headquarters: Cooper Lighting and Southern Motor Carriers.

U.S. News also mentioned a variety of activities in town aimed at seniors, from tennis to more passive offerings at The Gathering Place through the city’s recreation department.

U.S. News did not rank the top 10 cities in order. But it is offering an online search engine to help retirees find communities well-suited to them by selecting their priorities among facets such as low crime rate, weather, location and others.

Also making the top 10 list were: Bozeman, Mont.; Concord, N.H.; Fayetteville, Ark.; Hillsboro, Ore.; Lawrence, Kan.; Prescott, Ariz.; San Francisco, Calif.; Smyrna, Tenn. and Venice, Fla.
