Athens GA Retirement
Searching for that special place to retire requires a lot of research before you make that move. Two very significant factors go into the equation for your retirement move. One side of the equation is the social side: your lifestyle, your recreation and entertainment preferences, as well as healthcare provider concerns. Is the neighborhood close to the facilities and the amenities that you are looking for?
On the other side of the equation is the financial consideration. What are the price ranges of the houses in the area, and what are the property taxes? What are the current interest rates and which are the best lenders? How can you be sure the neighborhood you have heard of or read about will be the right one for you? As a real estate professional who lives in the area, I am able to assist you in selecting the right neighborhood which is most convenient to those amenities you desire, as well as the best home for your particular lifestyle.
Money Magazine selected Athens, GA as one of the best places to retire because it is a small, close-knit college town which offers “big town” sports. The University of Georgia touches every aspect of life in Athens and they offer classes free to seniors. The State Botanical Garden is on the campus. And the town offers a performing arts center as well as museums. Another bonus is that new construction homes can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of similar homes in major urban areas.
