Jamestown
Suburban Neighborhood in Augusta, Georgia
Richmond County 30815
A variety of housing options, old and new
Jamestown hosts everything from a new apartment complex that attracts renters, to a mobile home park and new construction townhomes. Older subdivisions feature classic brick-front ranches and split levels that adorn spacious lots. Developing subdivisions are sprouting up with new construction Craftsman-style homes with fenced-in backyards. Prices range from $160,000 to $440,000, but buyers can expect a three-bedroom townhouse to go for around $250,000 and rise to about $335,000 for a five-bedroom modern Craftsman. “The market in this area and Augusta in general remains strong, even though it is down slightly from last year,” Simmon

Multiple shopping centers at Tobacco and Windsor Spring Roads
With a shopping center at every corner of Windsor Spring and Tobacco Roads, the area has become a retail hub for Jamestown residents. Grocery shopping can be handled at the Walmart or KJ’s Market. The retail hub is home to fast-food staples like Sonic, KFC and Hardee’s, but for a meal any time of day, locals can try Waffle House. The locally owned BTJ Wings is another option for a meal, serving up wings and other sandwiches.

Jamestown is a sports-heavy suburb
Diamond Lakes Regional Park was opened in late 1999 on the land formerly Augusta International Raceway. The park is home to rec league games and hosts multiple travel baseball and softball tournaments yearly. Not only is the park home to the baseball complex, but residents can take advantage of hard-surfaced basketball and tennis courts. In 2005, the Diamond Lakes Community Center and Regional Library opened before being renamed the Robert Howard Community Center in 2017 after a long-time city employee. The community center is the largest in Augusta, spanning 43,000 square feet, has a gymnasium and fitness equipment and offers programs throughout the year in line dancing, aerobics, pickleball and fitness classes.

The 70.1-mile race starts in Savannah, and the course races around the city for the biking and running portion.The school bell rings in the Richmond County School System
