Augusta Overview

If you're planning a move to Augusta, Georgia, you may already be browsing real estate listings in search of the perfect place at a price you can afford. The good news is this temperate, charming city is highly affordable, with each dollar spent in Augusta going about 15 percent farther than the U.S. average. Read on to learn more about some of the benefits of living in the Garden City, as well as what you'll want to consider when choosing from Augusta apartments.

What is the history of Augusta?

Founded by James Oglethorpe in 1736, Augusta is one of the oldest cities in the South, with its close proximity to the Savannah River making it an ideal spot for settlement. Over the next several centuries, it served as the state capital (along with Savannah), enjoyed booming success thanks to the invention of the cotton gin, and was a central site for the forging of civil rights during the 1960s and 70s.

How is the weather in Augusta?

Augusta is located on the border between Georgia and South Carolina, and its residents enjoy warm springs, hot summers, and short, mild winters. January is the only month where the average high temperature of this city dips below 60 degrees, allowing you to take part in outdoor activities year-round. If you're moving from a colder climate, you'll likely be able to give away most of your heavy winter coats and snow gear, but will want to stock up on tank tops and wide-brimmed hats.

How do I get around town?

Many of Augusta's residents choose to drive themselves from place to place, but those who live within walking or bicycling distance of a stop on one of Augusta's 9 bus routes should find it fairly easy to get to most locations within the city limits. The streets of downtown Augusta are highly walkable, allowing you to feel safe while commuting or heading out to enjoy the city's nightlife. For those looking to get away for the weekend (or longer), the Augusta Regional Airport offers multiple flights per day, while the city's Greyhound station can allow you to hop a bus to just about anywhere in the continental U.S.

What is the Augusta commute like?

Those who do wind up driving to work rather than walking or taking public transit should find commute times reasonable, with the vast majority of Augusta commuters spending less than 25 minutes traveling each way. Interstate I-20 passes through Augusta on its way from Atlanta to Columbia, South Carolina, and more than a dozen other state roads allow quick access from all points of the city.

What are the local media outlets?

The nearly 400,000 residents of the Augusta metro area are serviced by a number of media outlets, with FM radio stations featuring everything from urban gospel to country to hip hop and a number of over-the-air stations that will allow you to watch NBC, CBS, and others with only a digital antenna. For those who prefer to read their news rather than watch or listen to it, the Augusta Chronicle (with approximately 70,000 loyal readers) joins two weekly circulations targeted to the African-American community and those interested in the alternative side of the city.

Why live in Augusta, GA?

Augusta's residents will tell you this is a fairly large city that often feels like a small town, with the wide variety of miniature communities within the city combined with its residents' traditional Southern hospitality making it feel open and welcoming while also giving you a more insular sense of belonging.

What Augusta landmarks should I see?

Those with teens nearing the college years may be delighted to discover that they need not fly far from the nest, as Augusta University comprises nine separate colleges and schools and boasts an enrollment of nearly 20,000. This university doubles as the top employer in the city, along with a number of well-known companies like Kellogg's and Procter and Gamble with local distribution facilities.

What is there to do around Augusta?

There is a wide variety of entertainment available to residents of Augusta. From dining and nightlife to arts and culture, the opportunities abound. Sports fans also have it made here - especially golfers. During what's likely the most famed annual event in the golf world, the Masters tournament, you'll be able to venture toward the Augusta National Golf Club to enjoy the people-watching and perhaps even spot a celebrity or two.

Any annual festivals or Augusta events to know?

In a city with great weather and climate like Augusta, you're sure to find great festivals to get out of the apartment and enjoy year round.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

One of the main advantages of Augusta's location is its close proximity to just about any geography you'd like to explore. If you hop in the car or onto a train, you'll be able to make it to the beaches of South Carolina in just a few hours, while those who prefer a woodsier outdoor experience can go camping or trail hiking in Lewis and Clark National Forest. This local scenery combined with the area's temperate climate that allow outdoor activities for most of the year can make apartment living an ideal lifestyle for Augusta residents.

Where is the best place to move in Augusta?

When choosing an apartment in Augusta, you may want to focus on some of the most popular neighborhoods (like Summerville, Forest Hills, and the central downtown area) first in your search. The city's high level of affordability can often get you a larger apartment (or a more desirable location) than you'd expect, and apartments in these neighborhoods tend to be rented quickly after vacancies are posted.
