Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

"I'm gonna leave my girl you should see / She is so fine / It's better Athens to Athens / Kinda day and night / I'm gonna go into town, going to try to flag a ride / It's better Athens to Athens / Kinda day and night" -- "Athens to Athens" by Joe Bonamassa

Athens is one of those cities you don't forget easily! You either love it, or love to hate on it, but it tends to resonate with people in lingering ways. Athens is described as the city with "the most natural, lovable scenery," "the hottest humid summers," "first bona fide retirement community" and "the black-eye pea capital of the world," among others. The population is over 12,000 in this progressive city, which is the seat for Henderson County.

Finding an Apartment in Athens

A home for rent in Athens is affordable. The residential market comes with lots of refreshing choices, so you can pick and choose your best fit home. The range of housing structures include luxury apartments, condos for rent, and apartment with paid utilities to suit each person's circumstance. Athens Townhomes and Madison Apartments, for example, offer pet-friendly options with flexible leasing policies for "transplanters" who want to test the waters before committing fully.

Few Tips to Note

With the high demand for apartments in the city, it's best to start your search a month ahead, especially if you are moving from across town. In the meantime, have all your documents ready to show your new landlord -- include credit report, legal identification, and proof of income. At least one month's deposit is required upon leasing your home, and an application fee may be charged. Check Athens landlord-tenant regulations for specific legal guides.

Neighborhoods of Athens

The neighborhoods of Athens are categorized according to their directional location to the city's hub. These neighborhoods include: West Cayuga Drive, Faulk Street, and North Hamlet. Each offer notable variations in home structure and settings.

West Cayuga Drive: A mere four minutes away from town; if you choose to take a long stroll, it's a 30-minute walk along North Prairieville Street. The community is buffeted by shops, restaurants and institutions. It's just two minutes away from Trinity Valley Community College and Central Park. Charming townhomes and apts for rent are in the area on large plots of land, ideal for short-term stays.

Faulk Street: This is an attractive community that features country-style housing in a quaint, rustic natural setting. It is located 0.5 miles east of town. It takes approximately 11 minutes to walk to the main city and there are several eateries and convenience stores along the way.

North Hamlett Street: Four minutes driving from town and seven minutes on your bike for a 1.3 mile riding stretch. Another walkable community with convenience shops all around, this community has charming, ranch-style homes on large acreages. However, you may be hard-pressed to find any rental homes and one bedroom apartments for rent in the area. OD Baggett Park is nearby.

Life in Athens

Athens has a good selection of restaurants (some say the hamburger was invented in Athens; check out MOOYAH Burgers), department stores, and an excellent medical care service. And if Athens local amenities are not enough, Dallas and Tyler are close by for a big city fix.

Leisure Activities

Athens is surrounded by beautiful lakes, creeks and parks which has enticed retirees and younger demographics to seek long-term stay. Fishing is a favorite pastime in this town and the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center is a popular spot.

Night life is however, almost non-existent, but it doesn't bother many Athenians, who seem to create their own spirited entertainment.
