With fixer-uppers selling for less than $70,000, it’s open season for bargain hunters in the Richmond Hill Road area of South Augusta. “It’s the perfect place for first-time homebuyers to purchase properties or investors to fix up and flip homes,” says Kyna Curtis, a Realtor with RE/MAX True Advantage, who sells homes in the area. “It’s very affordable living.”
Located less than 10 miles from downtown Augusta, those looking to move to this economical enclave will primarily find a find a mix of cottages, ranch homes, and Colonial Revivals built from the 1940s through the 1970s. “If you’re looking for character in a home this would be a good place for you,” Curtis says. “Not everyone likes newer homes. You can find a lot of character in these older homes.”
Properties typically offer between 1,000 to 2,000 square feet of living space and rest on quarter-acre lots adorned with mature pine and maple trees. “It’s a very quiet area,” Curtis says. “You have a lot of families, as well as retirees. It’s a family-friendly environment.”
The average list price hovers around $125,000 and homes usually sell within a month. “These are homes with good bones,” Curtis says. “They just need a little updating. There are homes over there that still have wood paneling. There are a lot of investors going in now and fixing them up.”
Public school students may attend schools such as Wilkinson Gardens elementary, Murphey middle, and Josey high, which scores an overall grade of C-minus, according to Niche. As part of the Richmond County School System, students at all three schools have access to free one-on-one online tutoring services.
From Planet Fitness to Lowe’s to Walmart Supercenter, residents in the Richmond Hill Road area have access to plenty of nationally known chains. And there are some independent options to choose from as well. For dining out, Sconyers Bar-B-Que is a must-try. The iconic restaurant has been serving up heaping plates of pork since 1959, when it first started operating from a roadside stand. It even catered a Southern-style shindig at the White House when Jimmy Carter was president in 1980. La Casa Latina, which doubles as a Latin market, is the go-to spot to experience authentic Puerto Rican cuisine.
At nearby Minnick Park, you can watch your kids frolic on the playground, shoot some hoops, or cookout on the grill with family and dine alfresco on the picnic tables under the pavilion. The Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, about 5 miles away on Lock and Dam Rd., is a popular destination among hikers and birdwatchers alike. The 1,100-acre nature preserve’s boardwalk trail winds through swampland and is flanked by trees strewn with Spanish moss. Keep your binoculars handy and you’re sure to catch a glimpse of the area’s wildlife, including cranes, wild pigs and alligators. “It’s a great location. You can easily access the I-20 bypass and get anywhere in Augusta quickly,” Curtis says. “Within 10 minutes, you can get to downtown, the Augusta Mall, all of our hospitals, Augusta University and Fort Gordon military base. It’s close to so many things.”
