Charm and convenience in southern Auburn
Tucked in southern Auburn, Harmon Estates is a suburban neighborhood just a few miles from the heart of Auburn. Though the community only takes up a few residential streets, it is packed with single-family homes with great curb appeal. Less than 5 miles from downtown Auburn and Auburn University, the neighborhood borders the area’s major interstate which is a major draw for commuters. “I’d say most of the people looking in this area like the convenience to Montgomery or Columbus,” says Ashley Baath, a Realtor with Three Sixty Real Estate who has lived in the Auburn area for over 20 years. “There’s a lot of industry along 85, and that brings in a lot of people who want their kids in the Auburn City Schools.”
Harmon Estates is only a few miles away from amenities of Downtown Auburn.
