City - Athens

Welcome to Athens, Georgia, home to the University of Georgia's historic campus. Current rental trends show moderate prices, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,173 per month and two-bedrooms at $1,378, both experiencing a slight decrease from last year. The rental market includes diverse housing options throughout established neighborhoods like Five Points and Normaltown. The walkable downtown district, which borders UGA's North Campus, features local boutiques and restaurants alongside venues that celebrate the city's rich musical heritage, including the 40 Watt Club and Georgia Theatre where R.E.M. and The B-52s first performed.

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia offers 313 acres of trails and themed gardens, while Memorial Park provides walking paths and a bear habitat. The city's history is preserved in its antebellum architecture and historic districts, particularly visible in the Greek Revival buildings downtown that earned Athens its "Classic City" nickname.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

GREAT APARTMENTS

We have been living in Athens Highlands for almost two years. Because of some old and bad experiences, we were worried but I can never forget the day we came to our apartment. It was perfectly cleaned and looked nice. Here is the greatest place to live in Athens. The apartments are very comfortable and in a good location. There are many cabinets in the apartment. I also need to say that people are very nice. During the time we spend here, all of the maintenance requirements were fixed immediately. And Tammy is a perfect manager. She is always very helpful and kind. Since we will return to our country, we need to move. But If I come to Athens again, I will certainly live in this place.

Property Manager at Athens Highlands Apts., Responded To This Review

Thank you Cigdem for the kind words! We are glad you had a great experience at Athens Highlands. We hope everything is going great with everyone and we miss y'all! Take care! Tammy
