This town is very unique. I have lived in Watkinsville for 13 years. I used to live in Athens but it became too busy with the University and the roads were not prepared for that so I moved to Watkinsville in 2010. I purchased a house in the Brookwood area and that was a very smart moved because they expanded the main artery to four lanes and built the new shopping center and health campus just one mile away from my home and I still feel like I’m in a country setting. The schools are rated excellent and although I’m retired there are still many great things to do here. I will be very sorry to leave this place and I hope that a young couple with children will enjoy Watkinsville as much as I have.
A small, quiet town that's starting to grow in size under the influence of Athens. There's a plethora of different and unique activities, and it's especially nice because of its proximity to Athens and other towns like Bishop.
Watkinsville is a great place to call home. The people are friendly, the crime rate is low, and the schools are amazing! Watkinsville is a super place to raise a family or to retire. Its proximity to Athens and all that the University of Georgia offers makes it truly unique.
