Editor’s Note: It’s summertime and the living is easy…especially in North Augusta on the river with a great golf course to boot. In today’s best of real talk real estate column, Re/Max’s Shawna Woodward looks at the River North community.
Situated along the Savannah River, in the ever so quaint and growing town of North Augusta, is a community jewel that overlooks downtown Augusta, Georgia.
The River Club is a one-of-a-kind community, elevated far above a normal suburban subdivision. The homes here are sandwiched in between the Savannah River and the River Club Golf Course, providing 360° views from everywhere in the community.
Adjacent to SRP Park, home of the Augusta GreenJackets, The River Club has convenient access to amazing restaurants and experiences. Whether you are a sports and events enthusiast or laid-back looking for a serene nature scene, it can all be found here.
The community is truly walkable and bike friendly. They have direct access to the Greeneway from within the neighborhood. The North Augusta Greeneway is a paved recreational trail meandering through town and along the river. It follows an abandoned railroad for more than 7 miles and is a highly adored amenity for the residents of North Augusta.
Part of the tranquil environment found here is Brick Pond Park. This forty-acre park was developed to be a stormwater system for the city. It is an absolutely stunning wetland that has boardwalk-style trails alongside The River Club area and another one of North Augusta’s most highly sought-after communities, Hammond’s Ferry.
The River Club Golf Course is a well-known favorite amongst local golfers, with plans to go private at the beginning of 2024. Once this happens, this neighborhood will become even more prestigious.
Another valuable feature of this community includes some adorable and affordable condo apartments that are individually owned along the river. This section called The Landing, is filled with some of the South’s most beautiful trees and landscaping. Imagine dropping your home in the middle of a superb garden, and that would be the ideal description of these homes!
A few other essential things to pitch as benefits to this community are the high dollar Masters rental potentials, relatively low property taxes, and easy access to downtown and the medical district in Augusta.
If you wanted to live here, you could expect to pay somewhere in the mid 200’s to buy a condo at The Landing. These do not become available often and will require about $250 a month in association fees.
If you are looking to buy a home here, they are selling for about $250 per square foot.
There is only one home for sale in the neighborhood as of today and it is gorgeous! Make sure you check out 143 River Club Lane. It is 5,148 square feet and backs up to the golf course, offering unbelievable views of the tee box at hole #10 and the green at hole #11. It’s currently listed for $232 per square foot and has an owner’s suite that will exceed your expectations! I have included a link to the home’s marketing video and would love to schedule a private showing for prospective buyers wanting to move into this absolutely heavenly neighborhood.
