Athens

Nicknamed the Classic City, Athens is best known as the home of the University of Georgia, whose football team, the Georgia Bulldogs, won the 2021 & 2022 College Football National Championship. Just 60 miles northeast of Atlanta, Athens consistently ranks as among the nation's best places to live, making it a top spot for relocation and retirement. In addition to the excitement a college town provides, new residents are drawn to the mild climate, robust economy, thriving arts scene and the variety of housing options found in the area including large multi-acre properties, historic districts, lake-front homes and traditional swim/tennis neighborhoods.
