West Augusta is rich in history both on and off the green

Known as a golfer's paradise just a 10-minute drive from the Georgia-South Carolina border, West Augusta offers much more than picturesque greens. Only 5 miles west of its namesake city's downtown area along the Savannah River, West Augusta offers quiet suburban living while providing easy access to a smorgasbord of amenities, as well as a sneak peek at the United States' formative times. "George Washington actually came through here, and to see the sites where he came back in 1791 and see the Old Government House and all of these different historic spots that are still here, not a lot of people know about that. There's just tons of history here," says Bradley Sikes, an Associate Broker with Meybohm Real Estate who lives in the area.

Colonials and retro ranch-style homes galore

West Augusta's winding, tree-shaded streets provide a glimpse at 1970s suburbia. Ranch-style homes with hipped roofs built between the '60s and '80s are prevalent, though small cottages and larger colonial-inspired properties are also common. A 2,000-square-foot home will often price between $200,000 and $350,000 while larger homes with five bedrooms can range from $400,000 to upwards of $800,000. West Augusta's housing market is relatively competitive with many homes selling within four to five weeks of their listing.

Augusta National serves as the town's defining attraction

Golf reigns supreme in West Augusta. Just south of the community is Forest Hills Golf Course — a top spot for locals to book a weekend tee time. Established in 1926 and owned by the nearby Augusta University, the 18-hole course features a driving range and practice facility and regularly hosts the 3M Augusta Invitational. Of course, locals are also just minutes from the renowned Augusta National Golf Club. Famous for its signature azaleas and dogwood trees, Augusta is one of the premiere golf destinations in the world, serving as the host of the annual Masters Tournament. According to Sikes, locals will rent out their houses during Masters week. "It's bumper-to-bumper in all areas going into Augusta during The Masters, but I think it's so important for our community because it brings so much economic growth here. We prep so hard to impress the outsiders when they come in. It's like a whole other world," Sikes says. "It's truly magical during that week."

Grab groceries from Publix or order filet mignon from Calvert's

Shopping and dining options are a quick drive away for West Augusta residents. Locals often pick up fresh meats and produce from the Publix off Washington Road while Surrey Center contains boutiques and restaurants. The SolFood Kitchen, which specializes in serving food from the sun, is a staple for its salads and bowls while Calvert's is revered for its filet mignon and robust list of fine wines. Chain restaurants are scattered alongside Washington Road while big-box stores like Target and Best Buy are stationed on the west side off Robert C. Daniel Jr. Parkway.

I-20 connects locals to all of the area's amenities

While West Augusta is close to an array of amenities, residents are largely car-dependent. However, locals enjoy solid access to major roads and highways. I-520 runs along the area's west side while I-20 serves as the community's northern border, offering easy access to the town's many perks and attractions.
