About this home
Here's an Athens home with a combination of features you don't see every day at this price point. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers comfortable one-level living in a location that's super convenient to Downtown Athens, UGA, shopping, dining and everything else that makes Athens easy to enjoy. Inside, the open floor plan gives you a lovely large living area with plenty of room to spread out, gather with friends or create separate living and dining spaces.
The kitchen is open to the main living area and offers abundant cabinet and counter space along with a large island/breakfast bar. LVT flooring runs throughout the home, so there is no carpet anywhere. The home also includes several adaptive features, including some lowered kitchen cabinetry and an oversized roll-in shower.
Combined with the one-level floor plan, open living space and hard-surface flooring throughout, these features add flexibility that can work for a variety of needs. Great living space outside, as well! The former carport has been converted into a large screened porch, creating a great spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining or just hanging out without the bugs.
Out back, the fenced yard offers room for pets, gardening or play, and the rear patio is covered. And there's one more feature that's easy to overlook until you're standing in the front yard: the view across the street is trees, not another row of houses. Giving the home an unexpected green view in such a convenient in-town location.
If you've been looking for an affordable Athens home with three bedrooms, two baths, one-level living and a little more flexibility than the typical floor plan, this one deserves a look.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 170 Northside Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1999 (27 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Clarke County; age of roof and any prior claims affect the premium.
- Listed living area is 1,224 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $2,824/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; confirm exemptions with the county tax assessor.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 170 Northside Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 170 Northside Drive was built in 1999 and has 1,224 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 170 Northside Drive in?
170 Northside Drive is in Scarlett Oaks in Athens, Clarke County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 170 Northside Drive have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
How are property taxes on 170 Northside Drive estimated?
The estimate on this page (about $2,824 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.
Is 170 Northside Drive in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Estimates, methodology & disclaimers
Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.

We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any information. Verify anything important independently.
