A ‘CLASSIC’ RETIREMENT
While the Classic City is ranked among
the top places to live in Georgia by
Livability.com, Athens has also been
tabbed recently 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.

directory at AthensGa.com for a list of real
estate agents who will find the right
home for you. Welcome home
to Athens.
