House Hunt - Normaltown

This week’s House Hunt will highlight the Boulevard and Sunset Dr neighborhoods, both of which are in the Chase St. School District and convenient to Athens prime shopping and eating attractions.  The area is commonly referred to as Normaltown, and is a neighborhood rich with history and a strong sense of community. The expansive Athens Regional Medical Center is, more or less, the center of the neighborhood and the former Navy Supply Corps School campus serves as the Northwest barrier. Currently, the University of Georgia is turning the school into their health sciences campus. What will happen to property values after the new teaching hospital has been installed remains to be seen, although many residents believe that values will rise. This is speculation, of course, given that properties on Boulevard and its adjacent streets are already priced at or beyond their maximum value.
