Moved to Athens/Clarke in 1960 so I have seen much change both good and bad in the area. Recently, after retirement, we moved across the county line into The Georgia Club in Barrow County. Ollie1946 touched on some of the reasons for our move.

West Athens/Clarke is a different "culture" from East Athens/Clarke County. I have lived on both sides and found each interesting in its own way. That is not a statement that one is bad and the other is good; just a little different.

If you were my family and you were interested in Athens I would suggest looking in Oconee or Barrow. Even there, you must be selective. I probably don't have to tell you if you have the money now is the time to purchase a house. The builders are struggling.

the law doesn't allow them to disclose such information.


the north end of town is the safest.

As for a short-term lease, that will be difficult.
