Five Points

Five Points is one of Athens' most beloved in-town neighborhoods, located just south of the University of Georgia campus and centered on the walkable Five Points village — a cluster of locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques along Lumpkin Street and Milledge Avenue. Tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and an unbeatable location make it a perennial favorite for those who want to be close to campus, downtown Athens, and everything the city offers.

Five Points real estate is defined by character and history, with early-1900s bungalows, classic Tudors, and stately traditional homes set on established, shaded lots. Its blend of historic charm, walkability, and proximity to UGA keeps demand strong from a mix of long-term homeowners, faculty, and investors, and well-maintained homes in the area's most sought-after pockets are highly competitive. The neighborhood's enduring desirability has made it one of the most recognizable addresses in Athens.

Five Points anchors the in-town Athens market, complementing the family-oriented communities of Watkinsville and the broader Oconee County area just to the south.
