What suburban life looks like in Jamestown

Jamestown is a residential community in South Augusta where parks, shopping and dining sit close to home. Most houses here come with yards that have enough room for games of catch, as well as modern interiors, like updated kitchens and bathrooms. Diamond Lakes Regional Park is a neighborhood highlight, offering about 300 acres of outdoor space and athletic facilities to explore. While Jamestown residents can reach the grocery store, restaurants and public schools in roughly 10 minutes, interstate access keeps Downtown Augusta and amenities closer to the city center within reach.

An overview of Jamestown’s housing options

Jamestown is a suburban neighborhood with mostly single-family homes built in the 1990s. Brick ranch-style homes with open floor plans, fireplaces and covered patios are common. You’ll also see Colonial Revival and split-level houses throughout the neighborhood. Jamestown’s median sale price hovers around $250,000, and properties usually cost between the mid-$100,000s and the low $400,000s. “The market in this area and Augusta in general remains strong,” says Al Simmons, an associate broker with Re/Max True Advantage who has nearly two decades of experience selling in Augusta.

Shopping and dining options close to home

You can find shopping and dining options along Tobacco Road and Windsor Spring Road, with additional choices in surrounding communities. “The mayor is fighting for more development in South Augusta and is encouraging businesses to move out that way,” Simmons says. Here’s what’s within a short drive for residents:

  • Restaurants, from chains like Waffle House to local spots like Dennis’ Barbecue
  • Grocery stores, including KJ’s Market and Walmart Neighborhood Market
  • Everyday services, like banks, gas stations and auto parts stores
More options sit closer to central Augusta. For larger shopping trips, Augusta Mall, located in the North Leg neighborhood about 12 miles away, features more than 100 tenants. The Summerville neighborhood is known for its local restaurants along Monte Sano Avenue, while Downtown Augusta offers several local boutiques and eateries. You can reach both neighborhoods within a 10-mile drive.

Residents can swing by the Walmart Neighborhood Market for all their grocery needs.

What the commute is like from Jamestown

Jamestown is a car-dependent neighborhood with easy access to Route 1, which connects with Interstate 520. Downtown Augusta is about 10 miles away, and the city’s medical district, located in the Uptown neighborhood, sits roughly 10 miles away. Fort Eisenhower, the area’s largest employer, is just west of the neighborhood. “It is pretty close to Fort Eisenhower, and a decent percentage of the residents either work there or are retired military,” Simmons says. Augusta Regional Airport is about 7 miles east.
