A part of one of the South’s best college towns, according to Southern Living, South Auburn borders downtown and the Auburn University campus. Cheer on the Auburn Tigers at the Jordan-Hare Stadium minutes from the neighborhood. After a winning game, head over to the town’s favorite post game gathering spot, Toomer’s Corner. Celebrate by participating in one of the town’s oldest traditions by hurling toilet paper over lamp posts, benches, and trees. When you’re done decorating, try the famous lemonade at Toomer’s Drugs, an old-fashioned soda shop located in an historic drugstore. Even if you’re not a sports fan, there is plenty to do in this gorgeous tree-covered community. Not only can you enjoy your favorite outdoor activities at the parks in South Auburn, but you can also bring your friends and family to the festivals held in these natural areas. Listen to live music, purchase crafts, and eat delicious food at the annual Auburn CityFest held in Kiesel Park. South Auburn is close to various entertainment centers like Surge Trampoline Park and Auburn Escape Zone. When the sun falls, indulge in Auburn’s bustling nightlife. South Auburn gives easy access to bars and restaurants crafted for any taste. For a sophisticated setting with specialty cocktails complemented by smooth jazz, visit Piccolo.
