Cobbham Homes for Rent

The first planned neighborhood in Athens, the historic Cobbham sits just west of downtown. The walkable community is known for its vibrant and diverse architectural styles, with Federal, Colonial Revival, Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Craftsman and Victorian homes that date from the late 1800s to early 1900s. The area, with its leafy streets and wide front porches, is popular with University of Georgia professors and international residents. Bishop Park, a 33-acre green space with various recreational facilities, is within walking distance. The park hosts the Athens Farmers Market. The North Oconee River Greenway offers 11 miles of trails about a mile east. Local eateries include the Seabear Oyster Bar, Big City Bread and the community-owned Daily Groceries Coop. Cobbham hosts the annual Historic Porch Fest, when musicians perform on historic porches. Cobbham is served by the Clarke County Schools District, with Johnnie Lay Burks Elementary School and Clarke Central High School both receiving high ratings. The neighborhood's proximity to downtown Athens and the trendy Normaltown, along with fare-free bus service, makes it easy to navigate. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is 75 miles away.
