Georgia suburb that was once a historic Army base
Once home to Camp Dyer, which served as an Army base for African Americans in the late 1800s, South Turpin Hill is a south Augusta neighborhood less than 10 miles south of downtown Augusta. The community is home to the Carrie J. Mays Family Life Center, a safe space and park, and the high school South Turpin Hill students attend, T.W. Josey. “The draw for south Augusta’s neighborhoods, including South Turpin Hill, is its lower price points, says Justin Bolin, a broker with VanderMorgan Realty LLC, who has been in the Augusta Market for nearly two decades. “It allows buyers to purchase a home and be within walking or short driving distances to stores, restaurants and schools.”
