How Goshen blends suburban living with city and nature access

Goshen is a mostly residential neighborhood about 12 miles from Downtown Augusta and 8 miles from the Georgia-South Carolina state line. Goshen Plantation Golf Course sits at its center, and the rolling fairways provide a scenic backdrop for daily life. Beyond the greens, over 1,000 acres of protected wetlands and woodlands at Phinizy Swamp Nature Park sit a short drive from the neighborhood. The Savannah River and its surrounding parkland are also close. So, even though Goshen offers a distinctly suburban lifestyle with easy access to commercial areas, work and schools, it maintains a scenic, secluded feel.

What to know about housing in Goshen

One-story brick houses make up the vast majority of Goshen’s housing. There’s a mix of classic ranch-style homes from the late 1900s and New Traditional builds from the early 2000s in the neighborhood, with a few two-story homes sprinkled in. The median sale price here hovers around $230,000, with prices ranging from the lower $100,000s to the upper $300,000s, depending on size and condition. Some properties on the upper end sit along or near Goshen Plantation and may have in-ground pools.
