A desirable suburb away from the buzz of the college
It's not as busy as downtown Athens and Five Points, but that's the draw – Tanglewood is where people move to escape the buzz of the University of Georgia. "You're not as close to the college, so it's a slower-paced community," says local broker associate Michelle Farmer of Keller Williams Greater Athens. She's lived in Athens since 1996 and has sold homes for nearly two decades. "You'll see people out exercising and walking their dogs, and you'll see kids on bikes." The lots are big here, and according to Farmer, the houses are stately. "Homes are priced a little bit higher over here," she says, "but that gets you bigger lots and bigger floor plans." Locals enjoy proximity to Athens Academy, The Loop and Oconee County.
