Family Fun In The Classic City
Moving to a new place with one or multiple kiddos can be overwhelming. Every community is different, and every family has different needs. Here are my top tips for getting acclimated quickly in the Classic City.
- Research schools: Athens has a number of great schools, both public and private, that cater to children of all ages. If you have school-aged children, be sure to research the schools in the area to find the best fit for your family.
- Seek out family-friendly activities: Athens has a number of family-friendly activities and attractions, such as the Georgia Museum of Art, the Sandy Creek Nature Center, and the Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department. These organizations offer programs and events for children of all ages, so be sure to check out their calendars to find activities your whole family will enjoy.
- Consider the size of your home: If you have a larger family, you may need to consider the size of the home you're looking for. Athens has a range of housing options, from apartments to single-family homes, so be sure to find a home that can comfortably accommodate your family's needs.
- Get involved in the community: Athens has a strong sense of community, so getting involved in local organizations and events can be a great way to meet other families and make connections. Look for local parent groups, youth sports leagues, and community organizations to find ways to get involved.
