About North Augusta
North Augusta (population about 25,000) sits directly across the Savannah River from downtown Augusta — the metro's closest South Carolina suburb. Its riverfront has been transformed by Riverside Village at Hammond's Ferry, anchored by SRP Park, home of the Augusta GreenJackets (Single-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves; opened April 2018). The North Augusta Greeneway (Greeneway) rails-to-trails path runs through town. Housing spans riverfront luxury at Hammond's Ferry, established mid-century neighborhoods, and new subdivisions — popular with professionals working in downtown Augusta.
