Thomson combines job opportunities in Augusta with local charm
Located about 30 miles outside of Augusta, Thomson might seem like nothing more than a suburb of the bustling city. While a perk for Thomson’s roughly 6,900 residents is proximity to medical and military jobs in Augusta, they are also finding that the little city of Thomson has a lot to offer at home, including competitive house prices, friendly neighbors and many excellent local restaurants. “Everyone looks out for each other,” says Monica Partlow, a Realtor with HomeSmart who sells throughout the state. “And the food is wonderful.”

Military and medical jobs, the yearly Masters Tournament in Augusta
While there are few large businesses in Thomson, nearby Augusta has many job opportunities. Augusta’s five hospitals draw medical professionals, Fort Eisenhower employs military personnel, and the annual Masters Tournament brings in golf fans from across the globe. “Some people stay in Thomson [during the tournament] if there’s no room in Augusta,” Partlow says.

New Traditional and ranch-style homes line quiet residential streets
Residential streets are a mix of rural and suburban, especially in the city’s older sections near Main Street. Homes aren’t so far that neighbors can’t see each other, but lot sizes can run large, sometimes multiple acres. Ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 1970s are the most popular, followed closely by New Traditional styles built after 2020 in subdivisions cropping up on the city’s outskirts. Prices range from $100,000 to $200,000 for homes with two or three bedrooms, and $200,000 to $370,000 for four or five bedrooms. “It’s more affordable than Evans and Grovetown,” Partlow says. “Those cities are a little closer to Augusta, and Thomson is a little more rural, so the prices reflect that.”
Ranch style homes from the 1960s and 1970s remain part of Thomson’s housing stock.
