North Augusta. Across the river, minutes from downtown.

What North Augusta is like

North Augusta is the South Carolina side of the metro's core. The 13th Street bridge puts downtown Augusta a few minutes away, and the city has built its own identity around the river: Riverside Village, SRP Park where the Augusta GreenJackets play, the North Augusta Greeneway, and a compact downtown along Georgia Avenue.

For buyers, the practical differences are the state line: South Carolina licensing, closing practice, and the 4 percent assessment ratio for an owner-occupied legal residence. Many households compare a North Augusta home against Martinez or west Augusta and decide on commute and taxes.
