Cross Creek offers a convenient lifestyle in Augusta

Cross Creek is a south Augusta neighborhood that blends residential and rural living. Outside of its subdivisions, two-lane roads wind past open fields. The area also includes the expansive grounds of the East Central Regional Hospital, a roughly 310-acre campus providing mental health and forensic services, and two public schools. Nearby green spaces with walking trails and sports facilities provide things to do, and daily errands and commutes are convenient due to the neighborhood’s proximity to major thoroughfares.

A glimpse at Cross Creek's housing

There’s a mix of established homes and new construction in Cross Creek. Brick ranch-style homes can range in price from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$200,000s, while New Traditional houses, which are often clustered in tidy subdivisions, typically cost from the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. “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 has 30 years of experience selling homes in the area.
