@@iyannasmith7175 Yes I have a local lender who has a free program to help with credit repair for a home purchase. If you reach out, I can connect you with them when you’re ready.
I must say we are segregated by color and money together... and I say that because sometimes money don't matter when you are black... and in other cases is not what you know it's who you know... and if you not close to ppl in a certain position or power then expect the bare minimum but prepare for the worse... I wouldn't be surprised if Georgia passed Jim Crow Laws like other southern states did...
@@MynameisTHECHOSENONE We see this differently because if we were indeed segregated by color and money there’s absolutely no way we as black people in GA would have the freedom to live and work where we do now. The mayor of Augusta is black. Most of the commissioners in Augusta are black a great percentage of the business owners in Augusta are black as well… Those type of things wouldn’t be possible with Jim Crow laws which not only affect housing, but economics as well. You do, however have a good point about the power of who you know but that’s not needed to live in certain neighborhoods in our area which was the main point for the statement 👍🏽💖
@LivinginAugustaGeorgia I'm sorry but I have experienced augusta differently... and you are correct we do see things differently... I both agree and disagree with you in a lot of areas... this town is set up to keep the poor poor and as for as the not poor I can't speak 4 them because I live in poverty some what and things are built to keep us here...
@@MynameisTHECHOSENONE Yep I remember you and I talking about that a while ago…which indeed there are a different set of challenges that varies with each financial level. But the good thing is nowadays thankfully the internet gives a greater degree of assessability for information and resources no matter the race or gender.
I've been living here for over 6yr and I like it, I've lived over seas and multiple places in the US. I love it, minimal traffic, home prices are good, gas is cheaper than other places in Georgia, and I'm centrally located I can travel and do short trips to Charlotte, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville Florida, Atlanta, Myrtle Beach. We don't get rain like other areas and rarely do have harsh weather i.e tornado, strong winds, flooding not here thank God. The pollen comes and goes. The schools are good, rated in the top 5 in the state. Bugs are normal in the South sooooo 👀🤷🏾♀️
Don’t let the bugs scare you..the exterminator is the solution for that but the pollen…like I mentioned that varies with each person…let us know how we can help with your real estate needs..we’ve got you covered with that! 🏡💖
It’s peaceful here, I moved from Chicago, Augusta is clean, peaceful. The violence that does happen here is nothing but a fraction of what I been through. I don’t have to carry my gun to take out the trash, hell I can even go to any gas station I want to go to here… It’s land, fishing nearby, I love it here!
Absolutely I agree and wow you brought back memories of being in Chicago and having to be selective with which gas stations to go to in particular neighborhoods. Yep I love it here too and glad you’ve adjusted to Augusta.
Absolutely you got it..my intention was to highlight several aspects of what it’s like to live in the area… although some people will think most of the items are positive, some will consider them as negative. Thanks so much for commenting and watching.
Aww, I love how real you were about the humidity. I live down in Florida so i feel your pain. My hair is so poofy sometimes that it drives me crazy. 😵💫 But this is the most honest, straightforward video I've seen a realtor do. I would feel confindent in working with you yo buy a house. 😄
You are right on so many of your statements. We moved here in 2014 from Germany and it was a difficult transition but we accepted it and enjoy it here. Like you mentioned about interracial couples, our family is one of them and our twin boys took quite a beating from the sun and humidity (skin is darker and difficulties with acne). After the adjustment, we became very involved with the community and surrounding areas. Even after 10 years, we have still not seen everything there is to see and do here but plan to soon.
@@Dark4estImagery Congratulations on your move here and it sounds like this is a great fit for you and your family. I like yourself haven’t seen everything our area offers and now that more is coming to the area there’s even more to add to the list. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching the channel! 👍🏽
well Augusta has definitely changed and there are quite allot of places that will stay open which is downtown augusta downtown used to not be active but like now everyday and evening i go down there it’s always something and it’s allot of night life around there to do our downtown has definitely came up and still is really dats with all the luxury apartments there building
Yep you're right there's definitely been a big change over the recent years, particularly since the lofts are now downtown....but it's still a huge adjustment for those coming from much larger cities that never shut down.
I never seen a cotton field in my life! When I first moved here I was driving through SC and it was miles and miles and miles of cotton fields. I was shocked, all I can see are the ancestors
Oh my gosh I felt the same way when I saw them as I was driving to Savannah and to top it off there were rows of dilapidated slave quarters in the field.....but it's so humbling and a blessing that God allowed us to be in this dispensation of time. Defintley a motivator to soar as high as possible with no excuses! #unstoppable
Wow, being white I get the creeps from same. The fields, but also the architecture and statues, don't find any of it pretty or important history I need to experience. Its Gruesome that I saw a confederate flag last year and those states still up, wtf!!! What's worse is the recent weird attempts by wto deny and rationalize how the black person was dehumanized by the culture....so gross. They seriously must be sick
Yep unfortunately there are people still out here who are deceived by the past thinking it’s acceptable. The good thing is more people today than in the past are standing up for justice for all but we’ve still got a long way to go.
I moved from Michigan to Savannah area for the heat. I love it. Unfortunately it doesn’t rain much in this area. I also live for a few months a year in California. The sun in California is like nothing people in Georgia could ever imagine. It will burn you up even on a cold day
Grew up in Augusta, been living in Savannah since 2016. You think the heat, humidity, bugs, pollen etc is bad in AUG?? Shooot....i hate it here. Plus the stench of marshes...the spanish moss is pretty but its a gross parasite that carries chiggers. Ive seen some bugs in Sav that i never knew existed. Final conclusion: move to the mountains. 😂 oh and i forgot to mention the traffic...bad planning. At least Augusta did a lot of traffic planning that works. My hubby worked for the Tax commissioner Mr.Kendrick and he was awesome.
Savannah is beautiful and seems to have a unique historical style….the Spanish moss there is pretty but chiggers?! No thank you 😊 I agree with you about the infrastructure here is good with our current traffic… Hopefully it remains the same with the growth we’re experiencing. Thanks for watching!
I've visited Augusta several times over the years from Atlanta. The main drawback for me is not being close to a major airport. I know there's a local one, but that's not the same. I like Augusta too, because it's closer to SC beaches.
@@shawnjones9829 Oh my goodness, you’re absolutely correct… I recently flew out of Atlanta and was complaining about the same thing….Sometimes it’s more economical to fly from Atlanta but it touch and go.
I am interested in renting an apartment in Agusta..Do you help seniors find an apartment? What about 55 plus communities?? I appreciate the " real" about living in Agusta.
Thank you very much for this video. My family and I are not sure where are moving yet. What state were from Pennsylvania and we are looking for a pleasant change. Georgia was not on my radar at all but it is now thank you for opening my eyes.
You’re welcome and I’m glad you discovered the channel. The Augusta area is definitely a great place to consider if you want a change of pace from the larger cities. Reach out if you have questions.
Lol…That’s the first time I’ve heard someone likes pollen and wise choice leaving during Masters…lucky you and thankfully you don’t have allergies. Thanks for watching
I live out in the Grovetown area and the subdivisions are well ahead of the infrastructure. I am surrounded at every direction by road construction and going anywhere takes quite an extended amount of time just going 3 miles. Where I am, driving just 2 miles to the kroger takes 10-15 minutes. Thats THE biggest problem in the area.
Grovetown is definitely experiencing growing pains but thankfully there’s construction going on which is both good and bad ….good for the future but bad for the present due to causing traffic delays.
The heat is not a negative The heat is wonderful and it's normal and I love it I'm from New Jersey and New York and I would rather be warm than Freezing So stop complaining about the heat it's beautiful.
I moved to Grovetown in May of 2023 (4 months ago as of this comment) from NE Ohio. Here's my experience: Heat and humidity - Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The dog days of Summer in Ohio are similar, it's just here the dog days are all Summer. (Personally I love it!) Sunshine - No joke, it hits different than the Midwest. So much more sun, it's great but my wife did have an extended acne breakout that I'm wondering if this is why. Bugs - Haven't noticed them much. I'm in a newer development so I think that's the reason but bugs have been less of an issue then the old neighborhood I lived in back in Ohio. Growth - There's a lot of construction and traffic can be annoying at times. However, coming from a dying city in the rust belt, it's nice to feel pride that you live in a desirable growing area. City Life - Lived an hour outside of Cleveland, so I didn't have any city life anyway. lol Outdoors - Who doesn't like the outdoors? Hills & turns: It's beautiful! I love driving down some of those long curvy roads with the windows down on a hot summer day. Southern hospitality: Hospitality must be pretty good in NE Ohio too because I didn't notice a huge difference right away. But it's subtle. After a few months I really started to notice just how friendly a lot of people are down here. For example, I had to cross through a line one day. I said excuse me and the gentleman let me through. He then said "How are you today?". Kinda blew my mind because he was being genuine.
@GabeHandle Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I can definitely relate to it all and 100% agree. Regarding the sunshine and your wife’s acne I had a similar experience as I had a heat rash my first summer here, then my skin adjusted to the GA sun and I haven’t had the issue since. I wouldn’t trade my GA life for going back to live in the Midwest. Living in the Augusta Georgia area is what’s best for me and my family. Welcome to Georgia! 👍🏽💖🍑
I'm making a mental note. I must say you have beautiful hair. That heat will definitely make your hair look like that. I have been there a few times. Thanks for sharing!
Aww thanks..that's sweet....I can only wear my hair down from Fall - Spring here because once April hits the humidity is HEAVY in GA...so I'm forced to wear braids or a sew in mostly all Spring and Summer. 😊
Oh wow. My great grandmothers last name was Rollison and from what I learned somewhere in the chain the last name was changed from Rollerson to Rollison prior to her being born.
Wow! Maybe some relation to us because that’s definitely a unique name… not sure if there’s been a name change… I’ll have to inquire with my in-laws on that.
Thanks for commenting. That’s interesting to hear. Change can definitely be challenging and it’s constant in every community including Augusta. I strive to showcase the positive transformations while acknowledging the challenges which creates opportunities for improvement, innovation, and building a stronger sense of community. With this being your hometown I’m sure you’ve seen lots of changes and opportunities to make the community stronger.
I love City Life I miss New Jersey and New York City when I first moved here it was funny just driving into Augusta even though it's not the same I started thinking of some cities in New Jersey and I was just feeling like I was oh I'm in Newark or I'm in some city and New Jersey even though I know I'm not but it was nice to reminisce and have that feeling
Glad you've adjusted well and I love suburban life which Evans and Grovetown reminds me of the Southern Suburbs of Chicago with the two lane roads, low night traffic and limited lights.
No city life (I would become bored) and winding turns and hills is a no for me. I use to live in NYC and now in the suburbs of MD just 30 minutes from Washington, DC. Maybe once I am 70 and wish to slow down. Thanks for sharing this video.
Absolutely we definitely have a slower pace here compared to the fast paced busy city life like you’ve experienced in NYC. Our area is generally a great haven for those wanting a quality lifestyle with a strong focus on family well-being. The winding turns & hills here may take a bit of adjustment for those coming from larger cities but they’re beautiful.
Im planning to move down there next year with my son who is 14. We will probably have a huge culture shock. We live in a rural area in northern Michigan.
Sounds good and it indeed you’ll experience a difference living here compared to Northern Michigan. I’ll be happy to help with your housing needs…when you’re ready, feel free to reach out.
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia Thank you! I have to sell this house I live in, I'm also trying to convince my daughter to come with. I haven't lived in a city since I was like 20 LOL I told my son there will be more opportunities in the city, instead of living in the middle of nowhere where they can only work minimum wage jobs. My best friend of 30 years moved to Georgia ten years ago, so we will be moving to be closer to her and her large family. She told me about the pollen, and heat. But I'm trying to learn more about it.
@@morseventurechannel1365 I totally understand sounds like you're doing exactly what we did...we sold our house in the Midwest when we moved here back in 2015. I actually have team members in your area who can help you sell your home. Let's chat... I'll give you their info. and tell you more about the pollen here. calendly.com/delresarealtor/30min?month=2023-10
I relocated to the Savannah area from Chicagoland. I love being here where people are friendly. Thank goodness racial bigoty is low. Unfortunately, the prices are extremely high in Savannah.. We are considering Agusta. If something doesn't appear soon. Thanks for the video.
Hey fellow Chicago transplant! Augusta’s vibe is a bit more budget-friendly and has the southern charm and hospitality. Let me know if you want to grab a virtual coffee and chat more about it or if you plan to visit the area. I’d be happy to chat with you about it.
Other than the hills , this sounds a lot like my hometown Charleston SC , but more family friendly things to do , which is good . Sounds really nice !! Thanks for the information ℹ️
I used to live in Albany GA and now im in Michigan. One thing I don't miss is the weather. The humidity mixed with the knats and mosquitoes.... no thank you. Up here i can go outside without getting eaten alive by these bugs 😂
It's a no for me when it comes to Michigan weather...I've had enough of the midwest to last me for a lifetime....the knats and mosquitoes here are interesting because my hubby and I can literally be out at the same time, he'll come in bit by the mosquitoes and fortuantely for me they don't really bother me. But I think it also depends upon diet. 🙂
Oh wow huge difference from Chicago and San Diego is SO expensive…I actually have Associates in Savannah who can help get you settled in that area if you would like… Just reach out and I can connect you 👍🏽👍🏽
Augusta has a diverse community that’s supportive of minorities and the LGBTQ+ community. There are events and resources available for individuals to find what they’re looking for within the community. Feel free to reach out if you want to know more.
I would love the friendly authenticity, ❤. She did a very good job explaining. I would def be lost because ive never traveled anywhere, but the heat would be hard as im already a very warm blooded person. I do wonder more about cost of living. I wanted to take a risk and move but am sooooo scared.
Move to the Augusta area if you want a small town feel with housing construction everywhere with Southern hospitality, southern food, & southern heat/humidity & southern storms then go for it! If you want hustling, bustling, public transit, pro sports teams, real diversity (I don’t think Augusta is diverse at all, it’s mainly just black & white people who are Christian, with some sprinkles of Hispanics here & there…not many Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Asians, Latinos, etc), and if you’re looking for cuisine outside of Southern Food & BBQ, then you might be better off looking for another area. But hey, it’s Georgia (outside Atlanta) so you know the housing is gonna be cheap!!!
For me, the friendliness has been a breath of fresh air… Definitely hot here in the summer, but feel free to reach out. I’ll be happy to give you more information in particularly talk to you to ease your fear.
Glad you found the channel and there are so many people moving from Florida to GA escaping the high cost of living there. Hopefully you're enjoying GA so far.
Thanks for the video I’m planning on moving to Martinez or Evan Ga area next year with my little family. I will definitely need some help looking for houses
One more thing: I work in tech and gave to travel. Last month, I had to go to Vegas, and NO LYFT DRIVER WOULD TAKE ME TO ATLANTA for the airport… when I flew back from Vegas, no Lyft driver agreed to drive me to a Augusta, so my friend had to take a 5-hour trip to bring me home at night.
Oh my goodness that’s horrible… Next time definitely try Groome shuttle.. they’ll take you to and from Augusta to the Atlanta airport and they’re convenient
If ima be honest augusta is the worst place to move to if you are a black person who may be in need of any type of government assistance or any kind of help... if you are not well put together you will not make it... you may survive but you will not thrive... sad but true
Great info..I live in Jacksonville fl but I'm from lincolnton ga..augusta is lacking when it comes to restaurants..the infrastructure needs an overhaul also..
Compared to Jacksonville, Augusta definitely doesn’t offer what you have available there. However, the good news is Augusta is continuously evolving. Thanks for your feedback!
Lol Yep Realtor with relocation certificate…gotta promote the hard work in acquiring the relocation certification. Glad you like the channel and thanks 👍🏽👍🏽
I can understand your concern and I pray that the plant continues maintaining high safety standards and protecting both its workers and the surrounding area community.
In Augusta, GA your patio will have poop all over your furniture. From LIZARDS 🦎 and on your front door, you’ll see FROGS 🐸 I love the cost of living though. I live on 20% of my income, paying off debt, but unable to breathe outside in the Summer…
Oh wow I rarely see lizards and have only seen frogs a few times since moving here, but I think it really depends upon the area that you’re in because I was at my clients house the other day, and she has lots of lizards in her yard. Yes the cost-of-living is fantastic and lots of newcomers have said they’ve been able to $ave nicely since moving here. Hopefully the summer won’t be that bad on you.
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia I’m by ADP, can’t enjoy the pool or patio due to the various annoying lizards 🦎 everywhere. I’m still staying! Living on less than 2K a month allowed me to pay off car, credit cards, and now I’m paying off my $102,00 MBA
@AnnaSzabo Oh wow… that definitely sounds frustrating to have nice amenities like those and not be able to use them because of the lizards. If you ever decide to move somewhere else in the area reach out. I’ll be happy to help you. Congrats on paying off all the debt. That’s awesome!
Aint no way ....have fort gordon....2nd largest city in Georgia 2hrs from atl ..mecca music well some genres and no entertainment hardley ...nothing stays open past 2am hardley ...cost of living normal is 38,000 i think ...and its segregated still ..its just different but its not a fast past city tho cant lie ...but money isnt shown unless pga masters ...they just build cyber security here ..but no tour attractions or clubs in Columbia county 🤔 smh... and can say its ok just dont see the money
I used to live in Augusta and it was the most segregated and not inclusive place. My family and I are Hispanic and I would speak Spanish in public. I’ve never received so many dirty looks that I did my 2 years living there.
Wow that’s sad to hear but for me the Augusta area isn’t nearly as segregated as the Midwest. Hopefully you found an area that’s more inclusive and a better fit for you and your family.
So you never lived in a south why did you move to the south and we all know you sitting the air conditioning building send your air conditioner car so the heat really do not affect you except for the little moment you have to walk out in it
I lived in marietta and tucker years ago, currently living in Arizona. Looking to move to Augusta next year, i cant wait. We got big water bugs and lizards in az so im sure that wont be a problem
This was great to see, because we're in AZ and planning to move to GA next year. Any cities you think we should stay away from? Looking for diversity like Augusta but I haven't been able to get my fiancé to agree yet.
@@lwashi7 I honestly would recommend the Augusta and surrounding area if you want to avoid the big hustle and bustle city life but if that's something you're looking for you may prefer the Atlanta area...either way we can help. If you give us a call we can learn more about your specific housing needs and help you find an area that fits your lifestyle. Hope to talk to you soon!
@LivinginAugustaGeorgia yes we will do that. We are actually looking to get away from the city. We have been out to Atl once to look around and definitely want to be away from Atlanta. We like Kennesaw and Marietta area.

Awesome video! Love the land there. Not interested in GA per say, but Im liking the luxury homes on great land there. My mother was from Savanah. My family and I moved to TX from St. Louis a year and a half ago. I will contact you in the future if we decide to buy a luxury property in GA. We are certainly going to buy, just need to find the idea spot for luxury living. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and the luxury homes here are indeed absolutely beautiful and affordable. Wow you moved from up north similar to us - hopefully you like it there. Definitely reach out when you’re ready to buy. I have agents covering the entire U.S with expertise in their local areas so matter where you want to relocate to we can help you!
Sure thing! Love TX while adjusting to the heat here as well. Our home is gorgeous, but not big enough for me. Love the neighborhood, but not my idea spot to stay very long.@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia
@@escalade8759 I understand and yes the heat is a huge ajustment coming from up North...but I LOVE it... reach out when you're ready and we've got you covered!
I've lived in Augusta, GA since 1976 and we do have some activities, but it's not all that great right now. Downtown Augusta is not a place you want to be at night if you're alone. Richmond County has sorry law enforcement and high taxes. The neighboring county, Columbia County, is so much better - lower taxes, there's crime like any city (county), but a lot less than Augusta, more jobs and cleaner and more law abiding.
Oh my goodness where have you seen sand spurs? I haven’t seen any here but I used to see those in Illinois. The Washington Road traffic isn’t bad for me compared to the Midwest, but it’s definitely is getting heavier than it was when we first moved here.
Although I moved away, I was born and grew up in South Richmond County and graduated from Butler. I went barefooted a lot and found many of those "stickers" (that's what we kids called them) in the yard and in fields on my family's property. 😳 Augusta has changed SO MUCH even in just my lifetime.
I remember being in the ARMY at fort Gordon and I was watching these people smoking 🚬 cigarettes in the beer garden, and it was 100 degrees, absolutely no breeze, and the cigarette smoke just going straight up. 🥵
LOL..guess the heat won't stop habits and you're right spot on - there's absolutley NO breeze here in the summer...which is another reason I love it!...#lovehotweather
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia I would love to get out of Los Angeles and go back. I loved hiking in the back woods and finding lakes with nobody around, almost getting run over by deers, just a beautiful state. I was there for 2 years 85-87. Great memories. Even though I was young and dumb.
@dannyhensley1100 Hopefully you’ll be able to make it back soon… Lots have changed since you were last here but it’s still beautiful and the backwoods and the deer are still around 😊
Indeed it is a beautiful area and it’s important to remember that certain issues can be found in various cities regardless of where you’re moving from. Thanks for commenting and watching 👍🏽
@@nonyabusiness3859Good observation. Definitely not an abundance of restaurants like bigger cities but acceptable and thankfully growing which brings more
Oh my goodness you sound like me when I went back to Chicago to visit...I've been away since 2015 and there have been LOTS of changes...as they say, nothing stays the same.
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia i believe the city changed some zoning laws around evans town center park because theres new apartments and its more walkable then before
That is not just Augusta, Georgia that is anywhere in the south you need to expand your title so it is more truthful not making it sound like Augusta is a bad place to be it’s not it’s just for me it’s a large city evidently for you it’s a smaller city. Because Augusta is the second largest city in Georgia.
I agree with you Augusta certainly isn’t a bad place to live. I love living here. The purpose of the channel is to assist those moving to the Augusta area hence the reason for the subject. Augusta is the second, actually now the third largest city in Georgia, but not when compared to several other metro areas throughout the United States it would be considered smaller.
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia what you said has not helped me because we are going to be most likely moving to the area within a year and are still doing research into the metropolitan extended area of Augusta
@@janetscruising Feel free to browse this channel and several others as there’s lots of valuable information to be discovered in regards to relocating to the Augusta area. Good luck on your search!
That’s the Augusta Farmers market on 8th & Reynolds which is held each Saturday from 8a-2p with live music, local farmers and vendors. Definitely a great place to add to your bucket list.
@@dennistyler9852Thankfully hardly any snow in Augusta, GA...I say no to snow...being from the Chicagoland area I've seen enough snow to last the rest of my days. The Chicaogo cold and snow is actually what motivated us to move here. :)
There are indeed several homeless people downtown… one reason is the weather is welcoming but we don’t have nearly as many as other places like LA, Chgo, etc… unfortunately, I think every city in America has homeless people 🤷🏽♀️ I actually serve to help feed the homeless… I think if we all do our part to help we can make a difference as unfortunately lots of people have fallen on hard times. And if most people are honest, most Americans are just a paycheck or a few from being homeless.
Best advice don’t move to Augusta. Where averaging one two muders per week. The law enforcement is on the news everyday for corruption. I grew up here. And Augusta is on decline A major one.
Thanks for your comment but it’s all a matter of perspective and what you are accustomed to. We moved from the Chicagoland area and when taking a look at those crime statistics there’s absolutely no comparison to Augusta For example it was reported on July 30, 2023 that at least 47 people were shot across the city of Chicago in just one weekend. I encourage all to of review crime stats, whenever relocating anywhere in the world.
😂 What???? I've been in Augusta for years after growing up in SC, and it is not that bad at all. If you don't want more people moving here, just say that. Smh
Well said. But, there is no diversity here, I'm from the bay area, we have samoans, mexicans, asians, and more. here is just black folks and white folks, and a few others sprinkled in. a few.
almost forgot, driving is not something there good at. and who in tf desinged these streets, I don't think they did desinged anything, they just paved over there old dirt roads and said, hell, now where like city folk. we got streets. and whats up with marteenez bein pronounced martin ez. I'm done with augusta, and your right, superman would have no problems leaping the tallest building here in a single bound.
Thanks for bringing that out....I was referring to diversity as far as black and white is concerned but you're right about the other cultures....we do lack a good mixture of multicultural families and individuals. The bay area is loaded with various cultures which I think the location has a lot to do with that but here it is mostly blacks and whites. The point I was making is for the most part the areas here are not segregated.
@@tarhasson Coming from IL where everythign is flat I enjoy the winding roads here...I believe the infrastructure will continue to grow as the area does....so far they're keeping up with the increase of population by expanding the roads and I guess every area started where we are at some point. :)

We don't get rain like other areas and rarely do have harsh weather i.e tornado, strong winds, flooding not here thank God. The pollen comes and goes. The schools are good, rated in the top 5 in the state. Bugs are normal in the South sooooo 👀🤷🏾♀️
Yes, yes, yes to everything! 👍🏽👍🏽
Hello neighbor! I've been here since 2017 moved from Nashville, TN and I absolutely LOVE it here.
@@Derick_695 Hey neighbor…good to hear… it’s a perfect fit got us as well
I love Augusta! There are some downfalls as with any city but overall it's an amazing place to live and raise a family.
Yes I feel the same way 👍🏽👍🏽
I am still looking forward to moving from Marietta to Augusta soon 😁🎉
Everything sounds okay💕 minus the pollen and THE BUGS🙏🏻🙏🏻
Don’t let the bugs scare you..the exterminator is the solution for that but the pollen…like I mentioned that varies with each person…let us know how we can help with your real estate needs..we’ve got you covered with that! 🏡💖
It’s a good place long as you rocking right
It’s peaceful here, I moved from Chicago, Augusta is clean, peaceful. The violence that does happen here is nothing but a fraction of what I been through. I don’t have to carry my gun to take out the trash, hell I can even go to any gas station I want to go to here… It’s land, fishing nearby, I love it here!
Absolutely I agree and wow you brought back memories of being in Chicago and having to be selective with which gas stations to go to in particular neighborhoods. Yep I love it here too and glad you’ve adjusted to Augusta.
I like that Augusta is becoming a growing city. Just want them to keep natural land around too not just all buildings etc
Exactly! And I also hope the southern hosptiality culture stays.
Other than humidity and bugs, most of these are not negatives. Hills, outdoor activities, waterfront, hospitality… Idk too many who don’t like those!
Absolutely you got it..my intention was to highlight several aspects of what it’s like to live in the area… although some people will think most of the items are positive, some will consider them as negative. Thanks so much for commenting and watching.
Aww, I love how real you were about the humidity. I live down in Florida so i feel your pain. My hair is so poofy sometimes that it drives me crazy. 😵💫 But this is the most honest, straightforward video I've seen a realtor do. I would feel confindent in working with you yo buy a house. 😄
Awww thanks I appreciate that and as I say "Natural hair don't care" 😂 If you ever decide to leave Florida I’ll be honored to serve as your Realtor
You are right on so many of your statements. We moved here in 2014 from Germany and it was a difficult transition but we accepted it and enjoy it here. Like you mentioned about interracial couples, our family is one of them and our twin boys took quite a beating from the sun and humidity (skin is darker and difficulties with acne). After the adjustment, we became very involved with the community and surrounding areas. Even after 10 years, we have still not seen everything there is to see and do here but plan to soon.
@@Dark4estImagery Congratulations on your move here and it sounds like this is a great fit for you and your family. I like yourself haven’t seen everything our area offers and now that more is coming to the area there’s even more to add to the list. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching the channel! 👍🏽
well Augusta has definitely changed and there are quite allot of places that will stay open which is downtown augusta downtown used to not be active but like now everyday and evening i go down there it’s always something and it’s allot of night life around there to do our downtown has definitely came up and still is really dats with all the luxury apartments there building
Yep you're right there's definitely been a big change over the recent years, particularly since the lofts are now downtown....but it's still a huge adjustment for those coming from much larger cities that never shut down.
I never seen a cotton field in my life! When I first moved here I was driving through SC and it was miles and miles and miles of cotton fields. I was shocked, all I can see are the ancestors
Oh my gosh I felt the same way when I saw them as I was driving to Savannah and to top it off there were rows of dilapidated slave quarters in the field.....but it's so humbling and a blessing that God allowed us to be in this dispensation of time. Defintley a motivator to soar as high as possible with no excuses! #unstoppable
Wow, being white I get the creeps from same. The fields, but also the architecture and statues, don't find any of it pretty or important history I need to experience. Its Gruesome that I saw a confederate flag last year and those states still up, wtf!!! What's worse is the recent weird attempts by wto deny and rationalize how the black person was dehumanized by the culture....so gross. They seriously must be sick
I see clothes that are made from cotton. I love cotton fields it is beautiful
My experience exactly driving from St. Louis to Savannah several years ago.
Yep unfortunately there are people still out here who are deceived by the past thinking it’s acceptable. The good thing is more people today than in the past are standing up for justice for all but we’ve still got a long way to go.
I moved from Michigan to Savannah area for the heat. I love it. Unfortunately it doesn’t rain much in this area. I also live for a few months a year in California. The sun in California is like nothing people in Georgia could ever imagine. It will burn you up even on a cold day
lol! The Georgia heat definitely is in a class of its own… Glad you’re enjoying it here in the state of Georgia
Grew up about 35 miles south of augusta. Want to move back to Georgia. The bugs are truly something else!
Oh my goodness I can’t imagine moving from here. If so, I would be like you definitely trying to find my way back.
I am moving to Augusta from Las Vegas, I look forward to everything! :)
Sounds great feel free to reach out when you need assistance. I’ll be happy to help!
Grew up in Augusta, been living in Savannah since 2016. You think the heat, humidity, bugs, pollen etc is bad in AUG?? Shooot....i hate it here. Plus the stench of marshes...the spanish moss is pretty but its a gross parasite that carries chiggers. Ive seen some bugs in Sav that i never knew existed. Final conclusion: move to the mountains. 😂 oh and i forgot to mention the traffic...bad planning. At least Augusta did a lot of traffic planning that works. My hubby worked for the Tax commissioner Mr.Kendrick and he was awesome.
Savannah is beautiful and seems to have a unique historical style….the Spanish moss there is pretty but chiggers?! No thank you 😊 I agree with you about the infrastructure here is good with our current traffic… Hopefully it remains the same with the growth we’re experiencing. Thanks for watching!
Spanish moss is an epiphyte and receives its moisture and nutrients from the air and not by parasitizing the trees and branches it hangs from.
Youre right Kim!❤
@Polusplagchnos wow thank you for your info
I gotta look up epiphyte
Great video! Thank you so much! Very helpful 🌻
I've visited Augusta several times over the years from Atlanta. The main drawback for me is not being close to a major airport. I know there's a local one, but that's not the same. I like Augusta too, because it's closer to SC beaches.
@@shawnjones9829 Oh my goodness, you’re absolutely correct… I recently flew out of Atlanta and was complaining about the same thing….Sometimes it’s more economical to fly from Atlanta but it touch and go.

You’re welcome and I’m glad you discovered the channel. The Augusta area is definitely a great place to consider if you want a change of pace from the larger cities. Reach out if you have questions.
Glad I found you.
Thinking of moving from Pa (near Philly) to Augusta.

I love pollen, lol. I stay out of town during Masters week and beyond. Great video, thanks
Lol…That’s the first time I’ve heard someone likes pollen and wise choice leaving during Masters…lucky you and thankfully you don’t have allergies. Thanks for watching
I live out in the Grovetown area and the subdivisions are well ahead of the infrastructure. I am surrounded at every direction by road construction and going anywhere takes quite an extended amount of time just going 3 miles. Where I am, driving just 2 miles to the kroger takes 10-15 minutes. Thats THE biggest problem in the area.
Grovetown is definitely experiencing growing pains but thankfully there’s construction going on which is both good and bad ….good for the future but bad for the present due to causing traffic delays.
The heat is not a negative The heat is wonderful and it's normal and I love it I'm from New Jersey and New York and I would rather be warm than Freezing So stop complaining about the heat it's beautiful.
I absolutely agree 100%. I LOVE the heat too which is why we moved here but lots of people complain about it 🤷🏽♀️
We moved here also for the weather 😍
@Tammy-Jeanne-Movies 🌞☀️🌞
I moved to Grovetown in May of 2023 (4 months ago as of this comment) from NE Ohio. Here's my experience:
Heat and humidity - Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The dog days of Summer in Ohio are similar, it's just here the dog days are all Summer. (Personally I love it!)
Sunshine - No joke, it hits different than the Midwest. So much more sun, it's great but my wife did have an extended acne breakout that I'm wondering if this is why.
Bugs - Haven't noticed them much. I'm in a newer development so I think that's the reason but bugs have been less of an issue then the old neighborhood I lived in back in Ohio.
Growth - There's a lot of construction and traffic can be annoying at times. However, coming from a dying city in the rust belt, it's nice to feel pride that you live in a desirable growing area.
City Life - Lived an hour outside of Cleveland, so I didn't have any city life anyway. lol
Outdoors - Who doesn't like the outdoors?
Hills & turns: It's beautiful! I love driving down some of those long curvy roads with the windows down on a hot summer day.
Southern hospitality: Hospitality must be pretty good in NE Ohio too because I didn't notice a huge difference right away. But it's subtle. After a few months I really started to notice just how friendly a lot of people are down here. For example, I had to cross through a line one day. I said excuse me and the gentleman let me through. He then said "How are you today?". Kinda blew my mind because he was being genuine.
@GabeHandle Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I can definitely relate to it all and 100% agree.
Regarding the sunshine and your wife’s acne I had a similar experience as I had a heat rash my first summer here, then my skin adjusted to the GA sun and I haven’t had the issue since.
I wouldn’t trade my GA life for going back to live in the Midwest. Living in the Augusta Georgia area is what’s best for me and my family.
Welcome to Georgia! 👍🏽💖🍑
Grovetown is not Augusta
@@MilWillBe True Grovetown borders Augusta. Thanks for watching 👍🏽
THANK U👏👏👏👏👏👏YES. KEEP DOWN GRADING BC NO CROWDS, HEAD TO ATL
I used to live there for two years. I agree with most of the information but diversity.. nahhh.
I'm making a mental note. I must say you have beautiful hair. That heat will definitely make your hair look like that. I have been there a few times. Thanks for sharing!
Aww thanks..that's sweet....I can only wear my hair down from Fall - Spring here because once April hits the humidity is HEAVY in GA...so I'm forced to wear braids or a sew in mostly all Spring and Summer. 😊
Oh wow. My great grandmothers last name was Rollison and from what I learned somewhere in the chain the last name was changed from Rollerson to Rollison prior to her being born.
Wow! Maybe some relation to us because that’s definitely a unique name… not sure if there’s been a name change… I’ll have to inquire with my in-laws on that.
I don't like what's happening to my hometown of Augusta.
Thanks for commenting. That’s interesting to hear. Change can definitely be challenging and it’s constant in every community including Augusta. I strive to showcase the positive transformations while acknowledging the challenges which creates opportunities for improvement, innovation, and building a stronger sense of community. With this being your hometown I’m sure you’ve seen lots of changes and opportunities to make the community stronger.
Really appreciate the insight here..I'm in Philadelphia region and been thinking going down to cobb County Kennesaw
Glad the info is valuable for you. We cover Cobb county as well and will be happy to help.
In that area has lots of jobs..
I love City Life I miss New Jersey and New York City when I first moved here it was funny just driving into Augusta even though it's not the same I started thinking of some cities in New Jersey and I was just feeling like I was oh I'm in Newark or I'm in some city and New Jersey even though I know I'm not but it was nice to reminisce and have that feeling
Glad you've adjusted well and I love suburban life which Evans and Grovetown reminds me of the Southern Suburbs of Chicago with the two lane roads, low night traffic and limited lights.
No city life (I would become bored) and winding turns and hills is a no for me. I use to live in NYC and now in the suburbs of MD just 30 minutes from Washington, DC. Maybe once I am 70 and wish to slow down. Thanks for sharing this video.
Absolutely we definitely have a slower pace here compared to the fast paced busy city life like you’ve experienced in NYC. Our area is generally a great haven for those wanting a quality lifestyle with a strong focus on family well-being. The winding turns & hills here may take a bit of adjustment for those coming from larger cities but they’re beautiful.
Im planning to move down there next year with my son who is 14. We will probably have a huge culture shock. We live in a rural area in northern Michigan.
Sounds good and it indeed you’ll experience a difference living here compared to Northern Michigan. I’ll be happy to help with your housing needs…when you’re ready, feel free to reach out.

Thank you! I have to sell this house I live in, I'm also trying to convince my daughter to come with. I haven't lived in a city since I was like 20 LOL I told my son there will be more opportunities in the city, instead of living in the middle of nowhere where they can only work minimum wage jobs. My best friend of 30 years moved to Georgia ten years ago, so we will be moving to be closer to her and her large family. She told me about the pollen, and heat. But I'm trying to learn more about it.

I relocated to the Savannah area from Chicagoland. I love being here where people are friendly. Thank goodness racial bigoty is low. Unfortunately, the prices are extremely high in Savannah.. We are considering Agusta. If something doesn't appear soon. Thanks for the video.
Hey fellow Chicago transplant! Augusta’s vibe is a bit more budget-friendly and has the southern charm and hospitality. Let me know if you want to grab a virtual coffee and chat more about it or if you plan to visit the area. I’d be happy to chat with you about it.

LOL!!!!!!!!!! NO IT'S NOT
I’m from Augusta Georgia and I love it that’s my favorite city
You got to wear sunblock
I used to live in Albany GA and now im in Michigan. One thing I don't miss is the weather. The humidity mixed with the knats and mosquitoes.... no thank you. Up here i can go outside without getting eaten alive by these bugs 😂
It's a no for me when it comes to Michigan weather...I've had enough of the midwest to last me for a lifetime....the knats and mosquitoes here are interesting because my hubby and I can literally be out at the same time, he'll come in bit by the mosquitoes and fortuantely for me they don't really bother me. But I think it also depends upon diet. 🙂
I am from Chicago and relocated to San Diego 8 years ago. I am considering the Savanah area.
Oh wow huge difference from Chicago and San Diego is SO expensive…I actually have Associates in Savannah who can help get you settled in that area if you would like… Just reach out and I can connect you 👍🏽👍🏽
One thing you didn’t mention is attitude toward LGBTQ. I know it’s the Bible Belt. Are gay, trans and other minorities readily accepted in Augusta?
Augusta has a diverse community that’s supportive of minorities and the LGBTQ+ community. There are events and resources available for individuals to find what they’re looking for within the community. Feel free to reach out if you want to know more.
I would like to move to Augusta. I am very talkative.
You probably would enjoy the area then. 👍🏽😃👍🏽
Yeah just dont talk to me
@@danielgwinn8981 🤷🏽♀️
Wow you are literally complaining about rain 😮
The rain is actually welcomed here in April when it washes away the pollen.
I would love the friendly authenticity, ❤. She did a very good job explaining. I would def be lost because ive never traveled anywhere, but the heat would be hard as im already a very warm blooded person. I do wonder more about cost of living. I wanted to take a risk and move but am sooooo scared.
Move to the Augusta area if you want a small town feel with housing construction everywhere with Southern hospitality, southern food, & southern heat/humidity & southern storms then go for it! If you want hustling, bustling, public transit, pro sports teams, real diversity (I don’t think Augusta is diverse at all, it’s mainly just black & white people who are Christian, with some sprinkles of Hispanics here & there…not many Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Asians, Latinos, etc), and if you’re looking for cuisine outside of Southern Food & BBQ, then you might be better off looking for another area. But hey, it’s Georgia (outside Atlanta) so you know the housing is gonna be cheap!!!
@misteriknow2069 Thanks for your input and I appreciate you watching the channel

In Augusta, GA your patio will have poop all over your furniture. From LIZARDS 🦎 and on your front door, you’ll see FROGS 🐸
I love the cost of living though.
I live on 20% of my income, paying off debt, but unable to breathe outside in the Summer…
Oh wow I rarely see lizards and have only seen frogs a few times since moving here, but I think it really depends upon the area that you’re in because I was at my clients house the other day, and she has lots of lizards in her yard.
Yes the cost-of-living is fantastic and lots of newcomers have said they’ve been able to $ave nicely since moving here.
Hopefully the summer won’t be that bad on you.
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia I’m by ADP, can’t enjoy the pool or patio due to the various annoying lizards 🦎 everywhere.

If you me at info@movetoaugustaga.com I’ll send you a list of available 1-2 bedrooms
I've lived in Augusta, GA since 1976 and we do have some activities, but it's not all that great right now. Downtown Augusta is not a place you want to be at night if you're alone. Richmond County has sorry law enforcement and high taxes. The neighboring county, Columbia County, is so much better - lower taxes, there's crime like any city (county), but a lot less than Augusta, more jobs and cleaner and more law abiding.
No way in hell i would live there.
Good, you know it’s not for you… are you a fan of the big city life?
I hate Augusta!!! But Im glad to see it FINALLY doing something with itself 😏

Don’t forget the sand spurs and Washington Rd traffic.
Oh my goodness where have you seen sand spurs? I haven’t seen any here but I used to see those in Illinois. The Washington Road traffic isn’t bad for me compared to the Midwest, but it’s definitely is getting heavier than it was when we first moved here.
Although I moved away, I was born and grew up in South Richmond County and graduated from Butler. I went barefooted a lot and found many of those "stickers" (that's what we kids called them) in the yard and in fields on my family's property. 😳 Augusta has changed SO MUCH even in just my lifetime.
I remember being in the ARMY at fort Gordon and I was watching these people smoking 🚬 cigarettes in the beer garden, and it was 100 degrees, absolutely no breeze, and the cigarette smoke just going straight up. 🥵

Oh my goodness you sound like me when I went back to Chicago to visit...I've been away since 2015 and there have been LOTS of changes...as they say, nothing stays the same.
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia i believe the city changed some zoning laws around evans town center park because theres new apartments and its more walkable then before
@@RedneckdudeOG Yeah You’re probably right.
The humidity 🤦🏾♀️
Ikr but it's not nearly as humid as Florida :)
I hate heels. They're uncomfortable. 😃
Walking, running and driving on hills will defintley take some getting used to if you're from regions that have flatter land.
Martin-EZ??? That’s also different 😁
Yes it is and trust me if you say it the other way, they’ll definitely check you on it 😂
Whats the job market like there?

That is not just Augusta, Georgia that is anywhere in the south you need to expand your title so it is more truthful not making it sound like Augusta is a bad place to be it’s not it’s just for me it’s a large city evidently for you it’s a smaller city. Because Augusta is the second largest city in Georgia.
I agree with you Augusta certainly isn’t a bad place to live. I love living here. The purpose of the channel is to assist those moving to the Augusta area hence the reason for the subject. Augusta is the second, actually now the third largest city in Georgia, but not when compared to several other metro areas throughout the United States it would be considered smaller.
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia what you said has not helped me because we are going to be most likely moving to the area within a year and are still doing research into the metropolitan extended area of Augusta
@@janetscruising Feel free to browse this channel and several others as there’s lots of valuable information to be discovered in regards to relocating to the Augusta area. Good luck on your search!
Hi are there any deer populations in Augusta?
Yes there are deer in the area. I don't see them often where I hang out but every now and then I'll see one as road kill. :(
I live in Augusta, the deer are fearless. They walk right through urban parking lots.
@@elizabethharalson7903 I rarely see deer
7:50 where is that area?
That’s the Augusta Farmers market on 8th & Reynolds which is held each Saturday from 8a-2p with live music, local farmers and vendors. Definitely a great place to add to your bucket list.
That looks like "Arts In the Heart". Vendors, Food, Live Music.
Yes, good observation… it’s actually in the same area that arts in the heart is held.
Augusta start turn in to baby atlanta 😅
I sure hope that’s not the case especially with the traffic 😬
Hilly and turn roads are my downsides 😢 sadly.
Awww but they’re so beautiful
Try hills and snow. Not much in Augusta, GA but come to Augusta, ME. Five months of winter ❄️.
@@dennistyler9852Thankfully hardly any snow in Augusta, GA...I say no to snow...being from the Chicagoland area I've seen enough snow to last the rest of my days. The Chicaogo cold and snow is actually what motivated us to move here. :)
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia I'm still reconsidering to move there.
@@Successistheceo Maybe you can visit to check it out? Any other videos you'd like to see that I haven't shown yet?
What about schools?
The county schools can be found here….www.ccboe.net and www.rcboe.org
Downtown is one big homeless shelter.
There are indeed several homeless people downtown… one reason is the weather is welcoming but we don’t have nearly as many as other places like LA, Chgo, etc… unfortunately, I think every city in America has homeless people 🤷🏽♀️ I actually serve to help feed the homeless… I think if we all do our part to help we can make a difference as unfortunately lots of people have fallen on hard times. And if most people are honest, most Americans are just a paycheck or a few from being homeless.
Best advice don’t move to Augusta. Where averaging one two muders per week. The law enforcement is on the news everyday for corruption. I grew up here. And Augusta is on decline A major one.
Thanks for your comment but it’s all a matter of perspective and what you are accustomed to. We moved from the Chicagoland area and when taking a look at those crime statistics there’s absolutely no comparison to Augusta For example it was reported on July 30, 2023 that at least 47 people were shot across the city of Chicago in just one weekend. I encourage all to of review crime stats, whenever relocating anywhere in the world.
😂 What???? I've been in Augusta for years after growing up in SC, and it is not that bad at all. If you don't want more people moving here, just say that. Smh
Nice, do you see a lot of Russians there?
Thanks and no not that I know of
Well said. But, there is no diversity here, I'm from the bay area, we have samoans, mexicans, asians, and more. here is just black folks and white folks, and a few others sprinkled in. a few.
almost forgot, driving is not something there good at. and who in tf desinged these streets, I don't think they did desinged anything, they just paved over there old dirt roads and said, hell, now where like city folk. we got streets. and whats up with marteenez bein pronounced martin ez. I'm done with augusta, and your right, superman would have no problems leaping the tallest building here in a single bound.
Thanks for bringing that out....I was referring to diversity as far as black and white is concerned but you're right about the other cultures....we do lack a good mixture of multicultural families and individuals. The bay area is loaded with various cultures which I think the location has a lot to do with that but here it is mostly blacks and whites. The point I was making is for the most part the areas here are not segregated.
@@tarhasson Coming from IL where everythign is flat I enjoy the winding roads here...I believe the infrastructure will continue to grow as the area does....so far they're keeping up with the increase of population by expanding the roads and I guess every area started where we are at some point. :)
@@LivinginAugustaGeorgia I hate to bash Augusta, because like you said, for the most part people are very friendly here.
@@tarhasson Yes....the majority are the people here are so hospitable...I love it!
