There are a lot of different trees and bushes that will grow tall enough that she could put back in her yard some grow faster than others and some have nutritional value that you can eat and have health and medicine properties in them so if she does her homework, she could havegreat privacy and great trees and bushes in her yard
Hola 👋,lo siento mucho por sus daños en su casa😢 soy Emma la esposa de Julio usted nos ayudó con el lote ,recuerda en agosto ,acá posaron los huracanes muy cerca porque estamos en el área del golfo de México.en fl. Afortunadamente no tuvimos daños. Espero que pronto alla todo se restablezca pronto. Los árboles cercanos a las casas son peligrosos.
Evans did have some areas that were damaged by Hurricane Helene, but other areas that don't looked like the storm hit at all. If you decide to come for a visit, please reach out to me! I'd love to show you around.
You named it wrong. Augusta is a dangerous slum. Evan’s is the number one place in the country. Every thing is new, and expensive. No slums or low income trash. You have to try hard to be poor in Evan’s.
More people have heard of Augusta because of The Masters-, which is why it's titled that way, but I agree that Evans is very nice. Thank you for your comments!
I come from Sacramento, CA. That place is falling apart with the homeless and forest fires, like San Francisco nearby. I have been living in Columbia County for 3 years now and I think it's all right. It is getting better, not worse. I commute to the Summerville area of Augusta for college and I really like that area. Lots of beautiful, well-kept properties. So no, not all of Augusta is "run-down, crime-ridden or ghetto". I live in a suburban area of Grovetown that has experienced a lot of growth while the roads (2-lane) have stayed the same, causing a lot of heavy traffic. At least you see the County working acceptably hard to solve that problem, but really, growth and development are a bit out of control in my opinion. As a recent move here, I admit I am part of that problem, but I pay the taxes that are fixing the problem!.... Grovetown does not have a downtown at all. The core is just a hole with a few scattered old neighborhoods here and there. All public buildings are scattered all over the area and you still have to go to Evans to get your DMV and other public services. It would be really nice if the city re-developed the core of the town as a walkable, attractive small town with a boulevard/Main Street/Broadstreet a mindfully-designed city park with strict usage rules and a small Police detachment nearby, mostly for deterrence. Evans did something similar to that and it is working fine.
Thanks for your opinion! If you ever want to call and get to know me, you’d find otherwise 😊 As far as amateurish and cheap- probably because I don’t super edit my videos and make them look like movies 🤷🏻♀️ I prefer to keep things real. I would love to get your ideas on how to tweak my videos to make them better. Thank you!
Lmfao moving to Grovetown is not really leaving Augusta. So misleading people are not leaving Augusta unless you go farther away. Go to somewhere that is more than 15 miles away. You're such a fake misleading Creator
I have been here all my life, I was raised in Thomson Ga. I get to Augusta when I can. I take my father to the VA at times. Over the decades I have seen many changes in Augusta and not for the best. The whole city has become a Ghetto. That is why conservatives have left this town. It is mostly a welfare town. That is why it will become another Detroit. Do not believe me, just ask Austin Rhodes. He is a local news talk host. Over the years many inductries have left Augusta, just look into South Augusta's history. This is what socialism gets us. Some folks call it progressiveness. It is just code for communism.That is what Augusta , Ga has become a communist regime after the consolidation of its two governments into one. People living in the County really have no more say with what goes on. That is why they have just counted their losses , packed thier belonging and fled like refugees for an unknown future in a more stable land called Columbia County.

There are still several spots in Augusta I love- some really cool old homes and affordable housing. Thank you for sharing your opinion and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Omg this lady should live in Florida for a month. Georgia ain’t seen nothing for bugs. People tend to walk on nature trails seeking nature which includes Snakes. Everything she names as a negative is normal for an up and coming area. It’s growing because it is a highly desirable safe area with awesome amenities and great schools and good people. I think she just wants to move for other reasons. I hope no one is swayed by this lady‘s opinion. Does she realize Evans was named the number one city in America for livability a few years back? That’s what caught my attention as I sought to leave Florida due to hurricanes and high prices. We wound up in Grovetown and I’m OK with that, but Evans was the first choice.
I actually love living here! There are people from other areas who aren't used to snakes and bugs and things like that, so I figure it's best to tell them so they aren't surprised if they move here. I lived in Thailand for 3 years and they have moths the size of your hand and snakes that are scarier than these... so it's all relative! I hope you enjoy your week and I'm glad you like living in Grovetown- I lived there for 14 years and did enjoy that area too.
Downtown Chicago is not "Crimey" The South Side is..The West Side is.. This is just a real-estate pitch to save a floundering business.... Hilton Head is where you want, not the other side of a river from a failed city...It's like comparing St. Louis to East St. Louis----Who cares?? They are both awful.
I have several friends who love Hilton Head! :D I don't script my videos, so I didn't really research what I said about Chicago, and I apologize for my mistake. Thank you for the correction. :D There are lots of people who do love the Augusta area, but it is definitely not for everyone. I don't do real estate pitches and my business is the perfect amount- not so busy that I can't spend time with family, but busy enough that my husband doesn't have to work and we can travel when we want to for the most part. I hope you have an amazing day!
That definitely made me sad- but they put it in a terrible location. Very difficult to get in and out of that parking lot, which had to be part of the reason for it closing here. Not one store that has gone into that building space has done well.
Hi, all. We are seriously considering moving to Evans. We are likely to live in Whispering Pines. The good news is we have family in Evans and I’ve already been to two ISI classes. Ha. What I’m asking is, brutal honesty, and with an eye towards positivity, what do you love and not like about living in Evans and the surrounding areas? It seems impossible transplanting a family, and a way of life here, at home, but feeling good about it. Great content/video!
Hey! That's exiting- Whispering Pines is nice and I think you'll enjoy it there! Traffic on William Few Parkway can be heavy, especially during rush hour times, but it's convenient to Publix, Walmart, Kroger and not too far from the Evans Target shopping center. Make sure to call or text me and I can show you around when you get here or help you find a home to buy in Whispering Pines! :D
I hope there are no flying cockroaches in Mobile Alabama. I think there are some in Las Vegas (or maybe it was just a really bid regular cockroach that I saw). Likely some in Florida, South Carolina and the rest of the South.
Most ppl move because of the crime and drugs. I grew up in Harrisburg all my life. I now live in Savannah because of my husband's family. I lived in N. Augusta too. The prices here are much more (rent) than in the augusta area. It may be higher now, but it was seriously hard for us to find a house near Sav for around the same price as in Aug.
Very nice and informative tour. I've been researching places to relocate to from Florida. And I'm very intrigued in Evans now 😊 It was between Greenville, Sc and Georgia, never heard of Evans but I'm interested in learning more. The only thing that scares me is experiencing rough winter's, including snow and sleet. I'm not used to that being a native Floridian.
In the 20+ years I’ve lived here, I think it has snowed maybe 5 times? And it was melted and gone the next day. I don’t think snow/sleet will be an issue for you here. Feel free to call/text/email me and we can talk some more about Evans 😊
I actually have had one of my past clients who experienced racism in her neighborhood. With as diverse as it is here in Augusta, I still feel shocked when it happens. I’m sad that there are still racist people in America period.
Funny....I lived around Augusta for 30 years moved to NC for 5 years and came back a year ago and it is even worse but I have never seen a Confederate flag on anything....what I have seen is crime at all time high and black population ruining every neighborhood they infiltrate and they're inching their way into every apartment complex in Columbia county so it's branching out....they already ruined Augusta so best thing is to stay away....far away
I didn’t add prices because if someone watches this tour in a year, the prices will be obsolete. I’m glad to share current prices- email me at livinginaugusta@gmail.com

more people actually moving to Augusta now days than leaving i mean look at all these apartments and traffic popping up everywhere more wrecks and how crowded it is
Thank you for this great video! I am considering moving to this area and out of all the videos Ive watched I really enjoyed the way you gave a great description and visuals 😊
Jones Creek is a nice neighborhood, but not the best one in Columbia County and if he was such a snob you were better off without him. Jones Creek golf course has gone and it is now become just a very nice residential neighborhood. The Mall is just a short ride on Wrightsboro Road which is in Richmond County (Augusta) which is a lot different than Columbia County (Evans). It's hard to tell when you leave Richmond County and enter Columbia County unless you look for the sign. Funny she mentioned Atlanta which is a seriously problem city instead of going to August Mall which has had one shooting in it's lifetime. Yes, we have a lot of shopping. Bars/night clubs are only a mile or two away and the restaurants we have do serve alcohol and we have liquor stores in Columba County/Evans. Yes, lady we are hot in Evans just like the rest of Georgia and the rest of the South and I remember the last time we had snow was in the late 1990's, early 2000's.
Agreed! Thank you for your comments 😊 I do have a pic of my son and the tiny snowman we made in 2010 - but I can’t remember it snowing since tren down here.
This lady is over-reacting to the termite problem. Yes, we do have lots of different bugs, but no different than any city in the U.S. just different kinds of bugs that must be treated. No one I know has ever had any destructive damage as the regular treatment is totally effective and is something that every household all over the U.S. must be aware of.
I have just had a few of my past clients who have had some serious issues- one home is having the brick from one side of her house removed to treat and repair the damage termites have done. This is definitely not the normal, but extensive damage can happen.
I live in Martinez/Evans, GA and love it and yes, Columbia County is a little higher economically than Richmond County - but maybe that's because we have a little less crime, cleaner streets, no homeless, have a better quality of residents. However, Richmond County (Augusta) is the pits. It is almost like other big cities while it's not really a big city, if you know what I mean. Columbia County (Evans) is much cleaner, safer (yes, we do have some crime, but little compared to Augusta). And yes, we have a lot of traffic during getting-off-work times like any other city. Left turns are NOT that bad since we have plenty of turn lanes and polite people who allow someone turn in front of them. I, and many of my friends, don't even go into Augusta (Richmond County) because we have everything we need in Evans. My taxes are not that high and we have so many businesses we don't even have to go into Augusta. Grovetown, another suburb of Augusta/Evans is where most of the Ft. Eisenhower personnel live and shop so not too much interaction.
I can remember a 70s song from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band called American Dream with the lyrics "Augusta Georgia is just no place to be". Is it a better place now? Lol I've only visited once. 1983 my newborn had to stay in the Children's Hospital for a few days.
Growing up in Augusta, it will always be to me Ft Gordon and Clarks Hill. It will be a very long time before ppl will only know them for the names they currently have now. Several generations have to first die out.
After living in West Augusta for 25 years I moved to an area I had never even considered, North Augusta, across the river in South Carolina. My commute actually decreased. North Augusta feels like a small town with lots of nice parks and places to walk and bike.
Lived here for 48 years and saw the growth in Columbia County and also saw the difference in the way law enforcement, schools, neighborhoods, security and safety are managed. Richmond County (Augusta) is mostly democrat run whereas the neighboring county (Columbia) is more conservative. Yes, there's crime in Columbia County but smaller amounts of it and dealt with differently. Taxes in Columbia county are somewhat lower than Richmond County. Lots of activities in both counties but we always feel safer in Columbia County during these events.
I can agree on it being better than Richmond all day, but Columbia County is no paradise either. It’s now insanely overgrown and overpopulated and there’s still no end in sight. Subdivisions, townhomes and businesses popping up on any piece of land possible. Land being destroyed and wildlife being displaced. Property taxes tripled on me this year. Traffic is absolutely insane. Feels like you can’t drive more than 5 minutes without having to stop at a red light, anywhere you go. It also truly feels like everyone here is not from here, and those people strike me as very angry, rude or entitled often times. Not what it used to be. Feels like a majority of the original residents are gone. And that may be true I don’t know. I contemplate leaving all the time. It doesn’t feel like home at all. They are running us locals out and they could care less!!! Someone is getting filthy rich off all of this also! Whatever the case and whether you like it or not, you can thank Fort Gordon!
Thank you for your honesty. We’re thinking about moving to Evans from Indiana, but the story about roaches and snakes has me reconsidering. I’m not a snow or cold weather person, but I might pick that over roaches and snakes😢. I appreciate this video.
I've lived in Augusta since I was a teenager...about 35 years. I remember when Columbia County (Martinez, Evans, Grovetown) weren't that big at all and in fact were small suburbs and now wow have they expanded along with Augusta. The Military and the Medical District along with the Universities bring in new residents every year. Personally I like Hephzibah and southward there's more space and more country. Nice channel...liked and subscribed. 😎👍
That’s awesome! My husband also grew up here and he remembers when Columbus County was “in the country” 🤣 I’m so glad you are enjoyed the channel and content! I appreciate you subscribing.
You did say Augusta so why couldn’t you go back and re-record this part instead of putting it in your video come on at this point it would’ve been easy to stop your recording and to say that all over again and it would look better and you look more professional
