The City of Villa Rica is located in the northernmost portion of Carroll County and is perched along the Douglas County border.  The city is also located in close proximity to Highways 101, 61, and 78.  Villa Rica has thrived in recent years due to its pleasing combination of country and city living.  While the greater Atlanta area is only a 30 to 40-minute drive away, Villa Rica enjoys all the comforts of tranquil country living.  Offering less traffic and an overall slower pace of life, Villa Rica residents proudly call each other by name and take pride in their local library, churches, and schools.  Nearby Carrollton provides residents additional amenities ranging from healthcare facilities and higher education to a fine selection of cultural arts.
