Uptown Home for Rent

Uptown in Augusta is a neighborhood in transition, with a focus on revitalization and historic preservation. Situated near Augusta University Medical Center and Piedmont Augusta hospital, the area is primarily commercial but features residential pockets with century-old single-family homes undergoing restoration. These homes, often clapboard cottages from the early to mid-1900s, typically offer around 1,000 square feet of living space on compact lots with colorful crepe myrtles. The neighborhood is ideal for singles or couples seeking proximity to downtown, just a mile away. While the average home value is around $100,000, prices vary based on renovation status, attracting investors interested in flipping or renting properties. Uptown features a mix of national chains and local eateries along Walton Way, with dining highlights including S&S Cafeteria and The Chef’s House, known for Southern comfort food. Grocery needs are met at a Kroger less than 5 miles away. Residents enjoy cultural activities downtown, such as concerts at James Brown Arena and films at the Miller Theater. The Augusta Riverwalk offers a playground, splash pad, and walking trails along the Savannah River, hosting community events like fireworks on major holidays.
