McBean offers space to spread out and access to daily needs

In McBean, ranch-style homes and contemporary farmhouses line winding country roads. Driving through the neighborhood, you’ll see spacious wooded lots and green pastures. Its low density sets it apart from more developed communities to the north, offering homebuyers space, privacy and quiet. While McBean has a rural feel, it’s not far from grocery stores, big-box retailers and restaurants in surrounding towns. So the neighborhood maintains a slower pace of life with plenty of room to spread out, even though Downtown Augusta is just 20 miles north.

The roughly 24-acre outdoor space includes a community building with a fitness room and event space, a walking track, playgrounds and a community garden. For golfers, Pointe South Golf Club, located in the nearby Hancock Mill neighborhood, has an 18-hole course on rolling terrain with eight lakes, mature pine and dogwood trees, and thousands of azaleas.

Where McBean residents can shop and dine

Aside from a local coffee shop, McBean is mostly rural, but the community is near shopping and dining in the surrounding areas. You can grab a meal at these spots:

  • Cafe De Prestigio, the neighborhood’s coffee shop with specialty drinks, pastries and light fare
  • Taylor’s Country Kitchen, which serves Southern comfort food like fried chicken and pork chops
  • Bambino's New York Style Pizzeria, with hand-tossed pizza, pasta, subs and calzones
  • Victoria’s Mexican Restaurant, a casual spot for tacos, burritos and fajitas
Everyday errands are within reach, too. A 15-mile drive south leads to Waynesboro, where you can find Walmart Supercenter, KJ’s Market Tractor Supply Co., hospitals, pharmacies and a handful of dining options. In Augusta's North Leg neighborhood, about 20 miles north, Augusta Mall features more than 100 tenants, including department stores and specialty retailers.
