Cross Creek is a partially industrial and residential community in South Augusta
Cross Creek is a small South Augusta community comprising an even mix of homes, industrial buildings and institutions. It’s home to the Forward Augusta Industrial Park, the East Central Regional Hospital and two public schools that serve the community. These are surrounded by diverse housing options. “While most of the area is still considered more rural, it offers traditional neighborhoods close to shopping, major highways and the airport,” says local broker Drew May, who co-owns Leading Edge Real Estate with his wife and fellow broker Christine May. Together, they have sold homes across the region for 30 years. Average home values run just below the greater Augusta metro area.
Industries near Cross Creek, including manufacturing and distribution, are key employers for local residents.
Subdivisions with New Traditional and Ranch home styles offer various sizes and price points for buyers.

A mix of 20th century ranches and new builds
Several homes were built in the early to mid-20th century, but housing development started to pick up in the 1980s. Several ranch-style homes popped up across the 1980s and ’90s, measuring between 1,000 and 1,750 square feet with two to three bedrooms. In the early 2000s, the community welcomed subdivisions like Cypress Pointe, which features colonials and new-traditional homes, and Longpoint, which has townhomes. The neighborhood continues to grow today with newly constructed contemporary colonials in the Wedgewood subdivision. Homes sell from $100,000 to $350,000, and new builds typically value on the higher end. Just over half of the community's residents rent their homes.
Ranch style homes dot Cross Creek’s residential side, offering late 20th century suburban charm.
Cross Creek’s diverse housing mix enhances neighborhood appeal with ranches, townhomes, and new builds.
