Real estate options consist of single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses as well as land lots. In addition, this historic city offers many opportunities to experience the great outdoors in Georgia's rolling Piedmont region. Walk, jog, bike, or blade through this area of lush vegetation at Memorial Park, the North Oconee River Greenway, Oconee Forest Park, Sandy Creek Park, and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. All are filled with trails to explore and sites to see. There are several golf courses in the area and sports fans will be in heaven as the University of Georgia Bulldogs have one of the best athletic programs in the country and participate in the highly competitive Southeastern Conference.
