North Augusta Lets You Have It All

This Southern, riverfront community blurs the line between a tranquil small town and a lively major city. The wooded neighborhoods of North Augusta cascade down gently rolling hills to the edge of the Savannah River, offering skyline views of neighboring Augusta, Georgia, just across the state line. North Augusta’s proximity to Augusta and Aiken provides convenient access to additional options for employment, healthcare, higher education, the arts, entertainment, and nightlife.

North Augusta punches above its weight. There’s an undeniable dynamism here with capable leaders and a visionary, engaged community. Together, they have an admirable track record of accomplishments, transforming and elevating North Augusta in the past three decades.

Lively Riverfront Community

Most notable is the exemplary development of the city’s riverfront, brimming with newer neighborhoods and apartment complexes as well as fine dining and shopping. But that’s just the beginning. The area features the North Augusta Greeneway, a 13 mile, partially paved walking and biking trail, as well as a golf course, interesting parks, an amphitheater, and (wait for it) a minor league baseball stadium. The stadium hosts games of the Augusta GreenJackets and other events. North Augusta’s downtown and adjacent riverfront are a paradise for families, walkers, and bikers.

Downtown North Augusta is postcard perfect with even more shopping and dining, parks, medical offices, historic churches, and stately homes. Especially noteworthy is the North Augusta Arts and Heritage Center that a statewide media company has designated as Best of South Carolina. On the outskirts of town is yet another major trail, the nearly five mile, paved, Palmetto Parkway Bike Path.

Abundance and Convenience

Housing options in Greater North Augusta range from traditional to contemporary, and many new residential developments and apartments recently opened or broke ground. Several new commercial outlets, medical facilities, and schools are on a similar trajectory. Neighborhoods in North Augusta enjoy commute times shorter than the national average for access to work, daily needs, and recreation.

North Augusta’s economic growth is due in part to the technological impact of one of the U.S. Department of Energy’s largest national laboratories and production facilities, the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence based in nearby Fort Gordon, and the recent growth of data centers.
