Downtown Augusta, with its historic riverfront and cultural attractions, draws renters seeking a lively atmosphere and convenient access to dining, entertainment, and public transportation.

One‑ and two‑bedroom apartments typically sit in the low‑to‑mid $1100s, while three‑bedroom options trend toward the $1600s.

These price ranges illustrate a competitive market that balances affordability with quality across both property types.
Beyond the numbers, Richmond County’s rental market benefits from its strong community spirit and growing economic opportunities. Proximity to the Augusta University Health System, the Savannah River, and the annual Masters Golf Tournament adds to the area’s appeal for professionals, students, and retirees alike.
