Residential neighborhood close to Fort Eisenhower

Less than 10 miles from Fort Eisenhower, formerly Fort Gordon, is the Pepperidge neighborhood of South Augusta. Established in 1978, Pepperidge has recently seen the addition of newer, more contemporary homes. The neighborhood association provides a community watch program, runs beautification projects and keeps residents informed of local happenings. Pepperidge is also close to interstates 520 and 20, convenient to shopping centers and well-connected to bus routes. “You have the military base right there, so that draws much interest from people moving in and out,” says Mary Williams, a Realtor with Century 21 Jeff Keller Realty, who has been selling in Augusta for nearly two decades. “With new jobs coming from the cyber security center at the base, it’s a popular area right now.”

Pepperidge offers numerous subdivisions that are rapidly growing.

Classic ranch styles and contemporary homes on Pepperidge Road

Community streets make way for square-sized lots with a collection of brick ranch homes, Colonial Revivals and new traditional designs. Buyers can expect a three-bedroom ranch style to sell between $140,000 and $195,000, while bigger or more contemporary homes can sell for $200,000 to $280,000. “The area has great access to the Fort Eisenhower gate,” says Ross Trulock, an Augusta native and Realtor with Blanchard and Calhoun. “The new development is happening in South Augusta, but the neighborhood still has a more affordable price point.” Prices for Pepperidge homes, even the more contemporary ones, trend lower than in the Augusta area.

From Food Truck Friday to major city events

Residents can make plans to meet up with friends at Food Truck Friday each week at Augusta Common. Live music and activities for all ages fill the evening, and the only charge is for the food ordered. On a major scale, the city hosts the Master’s Golf Tournament the first week of April annually.
