Convenient suburban living in South Augusta
Surrounded by major roadways and less than 10 miles from the Augusta Riverwalk, Old Savannah is a South Augusta neighborhood close to shopping, interstate, parks and schools. Peach Orchard Road is a makeshift shopping district with a wide range of retail and restaurant options on the neighborhood's western edge. Butler High School is in the middle of the community, meaning students can quickly walk to campus daily. “Old Savannah is in a good area and is within walking distance or a short drive to all needs of life from schools, shops and parks,” says Justin Bolin, a broker with VanderMorgan Realty LLC, who has been in the Augusta market for nearly two decades.

Ranch styles in South Augusta
Tight, winding streets feature multiple shapes and sizes of brick and vinyl ranch properties that adorn compact lots. Front yards are narrow, but there is some property space, and houses sometimes have fenced-in backyards. Homes have short driveways so that locals can park on the street without parking on the road. Prices range from $28,000 to $230,000, but buyers can expect a home under 1,000 square feet to go for around $135,000, while a three-bedroom ranch-style will go for about $150,000. “It is at a good price point for first-time homebuyers and those looking to downsize,” Bolin says.
