Bethlehem offers single-family homes near Downtown Augusta
Just southwest of Downtown Augusta, Bethlehem is a residential neighborhood within easy reach of the city's amenities. The area dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but new construction and renovations to older properties are reshaping its housing stock. Many of Bethlehem’s quaint single-story homes feature small front yards and covered porches, giving the neighborhood a lived-in, established character. Everyday shopping and dining are a short drive away, along with the parks and riverside trails near the city center.

What to know about buying a home in Bethlehem
In Bethlehem, you can find single-story cottages and bungalows from the early to mid-1900s alongside construction from the 2020s. Many of the neighborhood’s older properties have been updated, with features like granite countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring and stainless-steel appliances. “They’ve kept the same aesthetic,” says Stuart Brooks, an associate broker with Realty One Group Visionaries, who has sold homes throughout Augusta. “The new construction hasn’t changed the way the neighborhood looks.”
Depending on size, age and condition, home prices can range from under $100,000 for a home needing work to the mid-$200,000s for a new build. “It’s a great place for first-time homebuyers or anyone looking for an affordable home,” Brooks says, referring to the city-led incentives that can save homebuyers money. “If you purchase one of these new homes, you can get up to $25,000 in assistance for a down payment and a 10-year property tax deduction. There’s another program where you can get free paint supplies and other materials to rehab the exterior of your home.”
Single-story homes are common throughout Bethlehem.

How Masters week shapes Augusta
Augusta National Golf Club sits about 5 miles away in the Lakemont neighborhood. You’ve probably seen it on your television screen during the first week of April, when it hosts the prestigious Masters Tournament. “You can’t overestimate the impact that the Masters brings,” Brooks says. “If you live in Bethlehem, you have the opportunity to rent your house out during the Masters.” The Augusta Rule, a special tax provision, allows homeowners in Augusta to rent their property tax-free for up to 14 days per year.
