Five Points Is A Fabulous Athens, GA Community

Michelle DeRepentigny,  *Broker * Athens, GA: Real Estate Agent in Athens, GA

Five Points is a fabulous Athens, Georgia community that has historically been one of the most desired neighborhoods near the University of Georgia. Five Points is know to be a "walking community" convenient to shopping, restaurants, entertainment and historically appealing homes.

Jittery Joe's coffee shop in Five Point community of Athens, GA

One of my personal favorites in 5 Points is Jittery Joe's Coffee (photo above) where "Each little brown bean is a labor of love". They also win my "Success Star Award" for "Best Adaptive Use of Real Estate". The Five Points location is housed in a former gas station that was (in my humble opinion) an eyesore. The building is now attractive, funky, fitting and a delight to my eyes!

The community of Five Points borders the south & southwest sides of The University of Georgia and is home to many student rentals and many single family residences. The Friends of Five Points is a association of homeowners from the area whose mission is "... to further the safety and quality of life in the 5 Points area".
