Meet Athens, located in the heart of Limestone County. Here, you'll find incredible culture, wide-open spaces, affordable living, friendly neighbors, and a charming downtown.

“Athens is quaint, small-town America, focused around the courthouse and historic buildings, which have undergone a complete renovation in the last 10 years,” says Tere Richardson, executive director of Athens Main Street. “Our tagline is ‘Athens – Classic Southern Character.’ It’s the heart of our county, and the downtown area is walkable, with restaurants, outdoor dining, shops and an entertainment district.”
