Why Augusta?

Augusta, Georgia, is often recognized for the Augusta National Golf Club, but what truly sets it apart is its vibrant community. Located on the banks of the Savannah River, Augusta boasts a thriving arts and music scene that infuses the city with energy, creativity, and growth.

 

Downtown Augusta serves as a hub of activity, featuring a number of locally owned restaurants, unique businesses, and captivating art galleries. A stroll down Broad Street reveals a tapestry of incredible food, warm hospitality, and stunning murals that showcase the residents’ love for the city.

Beyond the urban charm, Augusta is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The Augusta Canal, Greenway, and Phinizy Swamp Nature Park offer scenic trails ideal for walking, running, and biking. The Savannah River rapids and Clarks Hill Lake offer sporting activities like boating, kayaking, and paddle boarding. There is always something new to experience in Augusta, even for the locals.
