Characteristics
Transportation
The favored transportation option in this area is usually a car. Nearby highways, such as I-65, are moderately easy to reach from any home in Athens, and it is easy to park. It is difficult to commute by bicycle in this census county division as there are a fair number of hills to challenge cyclists, and the cycling network is rather poor. Athens is also not especially suitable for those who like to travel as pedestrians as meeting daily needs is sometimes challenging without a car.
Services
A vehicle is usually needed in Athens to reach one of around 30 supermarkets. Nevertheless, pharmacies are typically easy to get to as a pedestrian and supply some staple foods. There are also a few choices for those who care about close by restaurants. Regarding education, there are only a few high schools and primary schools in Athens and accordingly they can be a rather long pedestrian trip away. Along with public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.
Character
Home buyers who prefer a relaxed environment will enjoy Athens. Athens is very quiet overall, as the streets are usually very calm.
