Bethlehem Homes for Rent

Bethlehem, a historic neighborhood in Augusta, is just 15 minutes from the site of the Masters Tournament, offering residents the unique opportunity to rent out their homes during the event. The area features early 1900s shotgun and craftsman cottages, along with newer constructions that maintain the neighborhood's traditional aesthetic. Homes range from 1,400 to 2,700 square feet on narrow lots of less than a quarter acre. Approximately two-thirds of the homes are unrenovated, providing a range of price points and opportunities for first-time homebuyers. City-led incentives include up to $25,000 in down payment assistance and a 10-year property tax deduction for new homes, as well as free paint supplies for exterior renovations. Local amenities include Dollar General and a Kroger grocery store 5 miles away, with dining options like WSS1 Wings, Subs & Salads and Nutritious Alternatives. Recreational activities are available at Jones Pool and Carrie J. Mays Family Life Center, which offers a playground, basketball courts, and various classes. Downtown Augusta, just five minutes away, hosts events like First Friday live music and the Augusta Market. Bethlehem's proximity to downtown and affordable housing have increased interest in the area, with a waiting list for new homes.
