A quiet suburb along the Timothy Road Corridor
Kingswood's position along The Loop suggests the area is noisy, but its towering pines and oaks provide a natural sound barrier. That's why residents live here. It's not as busy as the communities close to the University of Georgia, but it still features major retailers. The river adds another degree of separation from downtown. "The Middle Oconee River separates this area from downtown Athens and UGA," says broker associate Michelle Farmer of Keller Williams Greater Athens. She's lived in Athens since 1996. "So, it's less busy and moves at a slower pace." Families walk with their kids to school, residents spend time outside walking dogs and cyclists get in their exercise, pedaling the tree-lined streets. Homes with large floor plans and proximity to Athens Academy, one of Georgia's regarded private schools, attract buyers with kids. Busy commercial centers with big box stores sit just outside the quiet suburbs.
Kingswood is home to new and well established neighborhoods.

Established homes from the 1960s
Many homes in Kingswood date back to the 1960s, and housing styles vary. "The style is all over the place," Farmer says. "You'll find brick, ranch-style homes, mid-century modern houses and colonials." There are also a few split-level homes. Many homes measure at least 2,000 square feet for prices between $400,000 and $550,000. There are a few homes along Winterberry and Tawnyberry Drive that measure below 2,000 square feet for prices between $300,000 and $350,000. New construction on Westpark Drive includes contemporary colonials priced between $500,000 and $600,000. Lots in Kingswood tend to size between a half and full acre. They're covered with oaks and pines that tower above most homes. There are no sidewalks, and most streets don't have central lines, but residents still walk and ride their bikes.
