Gwinnett County’s address data has 496 addresses here, all in ZIP code 30046. 78% (389) are apartment units; the rest are single buildings and parcels. Inside city limits the city provides police and trash pickup; Gwinnett County provides fire and EMS.

The plan describes Northside Hospital Gwinnett as a 388-bed Level II trauma center with a 24-hour emergency department, and says the Georgia Department of Community Health approved adding seven stories to a 10-story building under construction, for a 17-story facility, in December 2022. The plan lists the expansion among the city’s recent Developments of Regional Impact.

Its transportation work list includes GDOT improvements to Duluth Highway from Ga. 316 to Medical Center Boulevard, and a $14 million bridge widening and $5 million in interchange improvements where Duluth Highway crosses Ga. 316, with no funding source or date named yet.
