The city's population surges in the fall with the arrival of students, contributing to a vibrant local culture centered around school spirit. Real estate prices in Athens are notably lower than the national average, with homes ranging from midcentury styles on the east side to newer developments in the southwest. The city hosts numerous annual events, including live music festivals like Boogie on the Bricks and the Athens Community Arts & Music Festival, as well as the Halloween Block Party. Cultural attractions include the Kennedy Museum of Art and the Dairy Barn Arts Center. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore thousands of acres of public parks, including the Strouds Ridge Preserve System, or enjoy the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway, a 22-mile paved trail. Shopping is concentrated along East State Street, while Uptown Athens offers local favorites like Donkey Coffee and Bagel Street Deli. Athens City School District serves the area with five public schools. The city is accessible via U.S. Route 33, with Columbus 70 miles northwest and Parkersburg, West Virginia, 40 miles east.
