Why Live in Athens

Athens takes care of its own. It is an attitude forged in city residents since the Civil War, when Union Col. John Basel Turchin led a raid on the city in May 1862, an event known as the Sack of Athens. Turchin let his soldiers unleash total war on the city, harming civilians and property in the process. Turchin was court-martialed for his actions, and the city erected a historical marker in The Square , a busy section of Athens’ downtown, which vows to not let the event be forgotten. Today, the city of more than 30,000 people puts an emphasis on community and helping those in need. “A tornado hit downtown in 2024 and caused damage,” says DeLisa Locke, a Realtor with Re/Max Alliance. “They got that Square cleaned up in just a few days.” That sense of community attracts residents, and the city’s population has grown nearly 22% in recent years.
