Integrated into the heart of UGA’s campus, downtown Athens was named the South’s Best College Town in Southern Living Magazine (2022). It is not only the epicenter for students but the cultural center of the city. From locally owned restaurants to unique boutiques and quaint shops to a vibrant and diverse music scene, Athens has an abundance to offer. Options for downtown living range from historical buildings and student housing to pockets of newer construction perfect for investors.
