Grovetown. New construction, closest to the gates.

Grovetown is the county's fastest-growing city and the closest Columbia County community to Fort Gordon, with new construction, newer amenities, and a lot of military families.

What Grovetown is like

Grovetown is an incorporated city on the south side of Columbia County, and for the last decade it has been one of the fastest-growing places in Georgia. Most of that growth is new subdivisions built for families arriving with Fort Gordon assignments, cyber and medical jobs, and buyers who want a newer home at a lower price than Evans.

The city has its own police, parks, and a steadily expanding retail strip along Wrightsboro Road and Lewiston Road. Because so many households arrive on a military timeline, Grovetown's market moves quickly around summer PCS season.
