Residential neighborhood close to Fort Eisenhower
Less than 10 miles from Fort Eisenhower, formerly Fort Gordon, is the Pepperidge neighborhood of South Augusta. Established in 1978, Pepperidge has recently seen the addition of newer, more contemporary homes. The neighborhood association provides a community watch program, runs beautification projects and keeps residents informed of local happenings. Pepperidge is also close to interstates 520 and 20, convenient to shopping centers and well-connected to bus routes.
“You have the military base right there, so that draws much interest from people moving in and out,” says Mary Williams, a Realtor with Century 21 Jeff Keller Realty, who has been selling in Augusta for nearly two decades. “With new jobs coming from the cyber security center at the base, it’s a popular area right now.”
Pepperidge offers numerous subdivisions that are rapidly growing.
Pepperidge features long streets that sit on hill slopes.
