Athens Overview
An artistic hub of the great state of Georgia, Athens is known as a nationally lauded college town and all-around fantastic place to call home. Located in the desirable northeastern end of the state, this popular city has been on the rise for years.
What is the history of Athens?
Fueled by cotton mills and the local university, Athens officially became a town way back in 1806. The city grew at a steady pace, acting as a supply center during the Civil War, and completing a new city hall in 1904. The city acted as a Navy training area through the 1960s, and remains a hot-spot of activity to present day.
How is the weather in Athens?
Precipitation tends to be constant throughout the year, with long, hot summers and mild, comfortable winters. Fall tends to be a bit on the dry side, and spring brings with it an explosion of plants and flowers.
How do I get around town?
Athens Transit provides bus service for much of the city, including free transfers to the University of Georgia. Greyhound offers larger extended service, and bike lanes are commonplace on most major roadways. The Athens-Ben Epps Airport has been in operation since 1917, and rail is largely regulated towards freight.
What is the Athens commute like?
An array of U.S. highways crisscross the city, including U.S. 29, 129, 441 and 78. Georgia State Route 72 is also a popular route, and traffic tends to be reasonable for the most part. Commuter times show some signs of delay, especially during the construction peaks of spring and summer, although still far less compared to larger cities such as Atlanta.
What are the local media outlets?
The 'Athens Benner-Herald' is a popular daily print outlet, and 'Flagpole Magazine' offers weekly arts and entertainment listings. A large number of radio stations can be found close to Athens apartments, including student-run WUOG and a number of formats dedicated to urban, top 40 and indie rock.
Why live in Athens, GA?
Known the world over for its diversity and welcoming spirit, it should come as little surprise that Athens apartments are in demand. From the array of higher learning institutions that call the area home to the wide assortment of amenities and on-the-move job market, this idyllic slice of Georgia living is truly one of a kind.
What Athens landmarks should I see?
History buffs will undoubtedly want to tour one of the last remaining double barreled cannons dating back to the Civil War, and the Georgia Museum of Art remains a steady draw. Music fans can pay homage to St. Mary's Steeple, site of the first ever REM show, and a huge swath of musicians still perform at legendary local venue the 40 Watt Club.
What is there to do around Athens?
"Get floral with a trip to the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, or throw back a few pints with some pals at the Globe Bar, noted by 'Esquire' as ""one of the top bars in America"". Take in some live performance at the Georgia Theatre, check out an improv comedy show near the university, or simply walk the tree-lined streets and enjoy the ambiance of this charming Georgia city. "
Any annual festivals or Athens events to know?
AthFest has been bringing arts, music and culture to the city every year since 1996, and a large number of food, wine and film festivals also make their home near numerous apartments in Athens. Halloween is a big event in the city, complete with a ghoulish parade and numerous costume parties at clubs around town. Independence Day also is quite the event, with a city-wide fireworks display drawing large crowds each and every summer.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Grab some friends and hit the gorgeous Georgia countryside for a weekend of camping in the great outdoors, or head to the large city excitement of Atlanta, located just a few hours away. Florida and its tempting beaches are also a great option, and the welcoming people of Columbia, South Carolina are just a short drive away from much of Athens proper.
Where is the best place to move in Athens?
Athens apartments come in just about every size, shape and price range, from a luxurious two-bedroom unit located in the heart of the downtown scene to a roomy family rental, complete with onsite playground and swimming pool. College students unsurprisingly tend to congregate in Athens apartments close to the university, while blue collar families dominate areas such as Beechwood, Briarcliff and Newtown. Regardless of where you end up calling home, one fact remains a certainty - there's nowhere in the world quite like Athens. Good luck with your apartment search in the great state of Georgia!
