Rural community 30 miles west of Atlanta
Located just south of Interstate 20, Bill Arp is an unincorporated community in Douglas County. It was named after Civil War columnist and humorist Bill Arp, the pen name for Chars Henry Smith. Today, the community offers residents multiple green spaces, easy access to interstates, and a place to call outside downtown Atlanta. “People like this area because it is rural, and you can get that country lifestyle,” says Tammy Bogle, who lives in Douglas County and is a Realtor with Southern Homes and Land Realty. “While it is rural, it is close to Douglasville and downtown Atlanta and provides a little more affordability than closer to the city.”
Bill Arp features scenic, tree-lined winding roads.
