Augusta, GA is a beautiful city of over half a million in the metro area with a low cost of living, great schools, and vibrant entertainment opportunities. The chief mainstays of our local economy are the medical and legal industry, the nuclear energy sector, and we are home to the United States Army Cyber Command Center at Fort Gordon which offers enormous military and contract opportunities across several technology-focused fields. We are home to Augusta University which includes the Medical College of Georgia. There is also a growing entertainment industry presence for both film and television. We are perhaps best known, however, for annually hosting the Masters Golf tournament.
The Augusta area straddles the Savannah River running between Georgia and South Carolina. We are a two- to three-hour drive from Atlanta, Charlotte, Savannah, Charleston, the Appalachian Mountains and several popular beaches, including Hilton Head Island and Myrtle Beach. The area boasts a warm climate, the Masters golf tournament, the headquarters of the Professional Disc Gold Association and a top-ranked course, the Forks Area Trail System for hiking and mountain biking, excellent school systems, kayaking and fishing on the Savannah River, a thriving equestrian community with steeplechase and polo events, and low costs of living. The metropolitan area includes Evans, which was named the best place in America to live, and Aiken, SC.
