Welcome to Athens West Side
The West Side of Athens is the neighborhood residents choose when they've thought carefully about how they actually want to live. Not just where they want to eat on a Friday night — but how they want their entire week to feel. The answer, consistently, is: easy, spacious, connected, and entirely Athens.
Anchored along Timothy Road, Atlanta Highway, and Newton Bridge Road, the Westside offers unmatched convenience — Costco, Target, and all of the shops and restaurants at Epps Bridge Centre a short drive away, Loop 10 connecting every corner of Athens in minutes, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport accessible via HWY 316 in under an hour. For professionals who travel, families who run in multiple directions, and buyers relocating from Atlanta, the West Side's infrastructure is a genuine quality of life multiplier.
Ben Burton Park offers 35 acres of nature trails along the Middle Oconee River. And Akademia Brewing Co. is the neighborhood's own full-service brewpub, open seven days a week. It is, quite simply, the neighborhood that makes daily life in Athens feel effortless — and once you've lived it, you'll wonder why you ever considered anywhere else.
