A ‘CLASSIC’ RETIREMENT
While the Classic City is the top place
to live in Georgia by Livability.com,
Athens is annually tabbed as one of
the nation’s best places to retire by
Forbes, among others. It’s not just
because of the affordable housing,
low cost of living, and favorable taxes.
Easy access to a variety of year-round
leisure activities and an impressive
arts community add to the long list of
amenities for retirees.

Retirement communities are available
throughout in the area, including
downtown. These options range
from exclusive, luxury garden villas
specifically for those 55 and older,
to continuing care communities that
enable retirees to transition from
independent to assisted living and
nursing care.
Visit the Chamber’s online business
directory at AthensGa.com for a list
of real estate agents who will find the
right home for you. Welcome home
to Athens.
