A small suburb just outside Five Points
Berkley Hills offers proximity to Athens' coveted Five Points community without the Five Points housing prices. And according to local Realtor Gena Knox, if its residents listen closely, they can still hear the rumbles from Sanford Stadium. "During football games, you can hear the band playing, and you can hear the crowd cheering," Knox says. "People down south are very passionate about football, and you can hear it." She sells homes with Ansley Real Estate and Christie's International Real Estate and has lived in Athens for 20 years. Buyers here get more house for their money. "This area sits right on the edge of Five Points, which has the highest price per square foot in Athens," Knox says. "Here, you get the amenities of Five Points at a fraction of the price."
Downtown Little Five Points is just outside of the Berkley Hills neighborhood.
Berkley Hills it's only a short drive from the University of Georgia and downtown Athens.
