An established community with a developing shopping center
In the past few years, the Athens community of Beechwood has experienced a couple of upgrades. A wave of commercial development swept across Alps Road, blossoming the shopping quarter's retail industry and inviting an influx of shoppers. It has brought popular national retailers from REI and Lululemon to JWR Jewelers and Chico's. Plus, developers have put in place the Paseo Project, which promises to make the Beechwood Shopping Center more walkable. Behind the shopping center, and stretching toward the Middle Oconee River, is an established suburb that's been around for generations. "I used to live over in Beechwood," says local Realtor Blake Hartis of eXp Realty Associates, LLC, "I lived there as a teen." Partis says that the community has always been walkable and close to stores. "I used to ride my bike to the grocery store." And the shopping center isn't the only thing undergoing a few changes in the community. "A lot of homes are being renovated and remodeled right now," says associate broker Jennifer Westmoreland of Coldwell Banker Upchurch Realty. Westmoreland has sold homes for 30-plus years. "We've done several renovation projects in the area."
The homes of Beechwood surround the shopping center making it easy to get around on foot.
Beechwood is located just to the west of downtown Athens.
