    Crystal Hills

    Crystal Hills is the community that both potential buyers and nonresidents explore – if not for its stately mansions, then for its tree-tunneled streets and undulating hills. "People drive through the area just to look at the homes," says broker associate Michelle Farmer of Athens Real Estate Associates, who currently resides in Crystal Hills.

    Five Points

    For fans of Georgia football, Five Points might just be heaven from late August through November. For homeowners who don't love the Dawgs, Five Points may be a less joyful place, at least during home games when the crowds pour in for games at Sanford Stadium. “Everything becomes a parking lot during game days,” says Dr. Celine H. Evans, UGA ‘08,

    Rock Springs

    In a community as central as Rock Springs, it’s easy to hear the cheers from Sanford Stadium or the rhythms of live bands in downtown Athens. The community sits just outside the University of Georgia and is within a mile of downtown, so it’s a popular area for college students, professors and young professionals. “It’s literally steps from the UGA

    Skyline

    In Skyline, speed limits never exceed 25 mph, pine trees tower over finely manicured yards and floor plans measure upwards of 4,500 square feet. It's quintessential suburbia in the heart of west Athens. "This is a slow-paced community," says Dr. Celine H. Evans, UGA '08, UGA DVM '12 and an associate broker with Sellect Realty.

    Boulevard

    In Athens' historic Boulevard district, the trees took root when developers started to build houses over 120 years ago. Today, the leafy giants are the community's stronghold – with branches outstretched, hues varied and bright and heights that measure taller than the historic homes they complement.

    Tanglewood

"You're not as close to the college, so it's a slower-paced community," says local broker associate Michelle Farmer of Keller Williams Greater Athens. She's lived in Athens since 1996 and has

This 1830s Greek Revival is bright pink and, thanks to various additions over the years, it now struts its stuff as an “octagon house.” Porches and sidewalks

Because of this, many students live off campus in neighborhoods across Athens, including North Avenue. Just over a mile from campus and downtown, North Avenue is quickly becoming a popular destination for young professionals,
