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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.
