About this House

Farmer's Exchange Student Lofts is a historic landmark dating back to the late 1800s. Originally serving as a general store and cotton warehouse, the building was transformed into loft-style apartments in 1999.

Rich in tradition, Farmer's Exchange is one of the most desired options for downtown student living. Conveniently located in vibrant downtown Athens, Farmer's Exchange is just steps away from UGA Campus and all the Classic City has to offer (The Classic Center, Akins Ford Arena, Sanford Stadium, downtown shops, groceries, restaurants...).

As a key gateway between Downtown and East Athens, Farmer's Exchange offers unbeatable convenience. Thoughtful renovations have introduced modern comforts while preserving its rich historical charm. Residents enjoy unique features such as 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, hardwood and concrete flooring and secure building access. The lofted beds add a unique touch to the living spaces, enhancing the property's character. Full kitchens and on-site laundry facilities provide modern conveniences.

This is a rare opportunity to live in a distinctive property with stunning views in the heart of downtown Athens.

    "Very safe and kinda friendly but most folks do keep to themselves or interact with their own family. There is only a very light traffic of homeowners in my subdivision but unfortunately there are no sidewalks or play areas for the kids. Folks walk their dogs in the street. Children play in their own front or back yards it seems. You rarely see or hear them out and they wonā€™t recognize you as a neighbor. This is unfortunate but typical of neighborhoods in this area and in the South."

    "More and more people are living here but the roads are staying the same size since the past 30 years. Traffic can be horrible going to work in the morning, and getting off work, from 4pm to 6pm, forget going anywhere. Depending what part of Athens youā€™re in, will effect your view on Athens. Thereā€™s a poor lifestyle and thereā€™s a wealthy lifestyle to this town. Slowly Athens is updating its lifestyle to fit wealthy families. It sure is a college town, and traffic is much better once the college students are out of town. Iā€™ve lived here my whole life so I know where to go and where not to go. Iā€™ve seen girls/college girls out walking in places they shouldnā€™t have been walking (out of town ppl donā€™t know any better) but they think since itā€™s a college town itā€™s ok, and thatā€™s where theyā€™re wrong. Overall nice town but way too crowded. "

Thereā€™s not a lot of courtesy that gets displayed between residents, itā€™s in a sketchy part of town, and there have been a few crimes that have occurred here in a short amount of time. Would not recommend raising your children here. Also the public schools are terrible."
