Augusta GA Relocation

Stacie Wells — Tue, 04 May 2010 13:42:31 +0000

If you’re planning on relocating to Augusta GA, and you haven’t had time to get to know the area yet, you may not know about some of the surrounding suburbs such as Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, Harlem, Appling, and Hephzibah GA. All of these suburbs are located in Columbia County with the exception of Hephzibah. While Augusta has the Riverwalk, the fabulous shops along Broad Street, museums and more, one of the things that Columbia County excels in is community events.

The Columbia County Community Events Calendar is always loaded with family friendly options such as blues concerts at the Columbia County amphitheater (behind the Columbia County Library in Evans GA), Family Movie Matinees at the PAC, outdoor movies, and a Christian Music Series among other things. Coming up soon is the ESPN BASSmasters fishing tournament at Wildwood Park at Clarks Hill Lake in Appling GA.

So whether you choose to live in Augusta, or in one of the suburbs in Columbia County, take comfort in knowing that there will always be a myriad of activities going on close by in Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, Harlem, or Appling. It certainly makes for a great place to raise a family!

This video is from the recent Blues, BBQ, and Brews Concert series at the Columbia County amphitheater in Evans GA, and features the Liz Melendez Band. Enjoy!

Living in Augusta GA – Things to Do and See

Stacie Wells — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:12:36 +0000

I’ve lived in the Augusta, Georgia area since 1998 and I am continually amazed at all the great things this city has to offer its residents and visitors. It’s truly a great place to live and raise a family. My husband and I have 3 children and I can’t imagine raising them anywhere else. Here are some places you can’t afford to miss!

The Augusta National Golf Course - See if you can get your hands on Practice Rounds tickets or tournament badges, and don’t forget to bring your camera! The MASTERS® Tournament is held the 2nd full week of April each year. There is a lottery for the Practice Round tickets – if you’re interested, visit http://www.masters.com/en_US/about/ticket.html for details.
Clarks Hill Lake - Located between Evans and Lincolnton, GA, Clarks Hill Lake is one of the Southeast’s largest and most popular public recreation lakes. At just over 71,000 acres, there’s plenty of room for boating, skiing, tubing, jet skiing, and striper fishing. The lake has also just returned to full pool stage after being hit hard by a drought for the last several years so the beaches at the parks are in top notch shape.
The Augusta Canal – The original tow path is still in use by bikers, walkers, and birdwatchers. I like to park at the Lock and Dam and enjoy the walk back in towards downtown. You can also canoe, kayak, or relax on a guided tour aboard a replica canal cargo boat. For tour reservations, visit www.augustacanal.com

Broad Street – Downtown Augusta – Parking is still FREE, so find a spot and enjoy the walk. There are great art galleries, cafes, antique stores, and a bakery. Two of my favorite spots are Merry’s Trash and Treasures and the Pizza Joint.

The Greeneway – Ok, technically this is N. Augusta, SC, but’s it’s a short 5 minute drive over the Savannah River. Part of the rails to trails program, the paved trail is over 7 miles long and meanders in part along the scenic Savannah River. There’s also a disc golf course located here.
The Riverwalk - located on the Savannah River in Downtown Augusta, you can’t ask for more scenic views. You can enjoy a stroll along the river, a concert at the Jessye Norman ampitheater, or a close up look at science and physics in Fort Discovery. With more than 250 exhibits, there’s something for kids of ALL ages!

Columbia County Library – located at Evans town center, the library itself is a fantastic resource, but there’s also a pond behind the library with a .3 mile paved walking track and an ampitheater where family friendly movies are shown and concerts are held.

Don’t forget! If you’re in the market for Columbia County Real Estate, give me a call at 706.447.3746, email me at stacie@staciewells.com, or visit me on my Augusta GA Real Estate blog. Take care!
