r/Augusta

im (30F) moving to the area at the end of the month with my husband and have been looking online for apartments. I am used to being near or living in a city like environment. Ive found apartments near the river-ish on the south carolina side, as well as near national court/windsor hills areas. Hows living on that side of town? Also been looking into Evans as well, but feels far away from things. Wanting to live in a luxury community with amenities, away from college kids if possible. Open to any and all recommendations, thanks!

I still wear a mask in public spaces and was wondering if there is anyone around that still takes precautions for respiratory health. I have allergies and COPD.
Anyone else?

Hi everyone! I'm moving to Grovetown soon for a new job. My workplace is in Appling, so I'll be commuting regularly.

I'm an international and this will be my first time buying a car in the US, so I'm pretty unfamiliar with the used-car market and financing here.

I'm looking for a reliable used sedan or small SUV, ideally:

• Around $15k–$20k(excluding registration and taxes)
• 50k-75k miles preferably
• Preferably 2019 or newer
• Low maintenance/reliable
• Good gas mileage
• Ideally $300–$400/month for the payment
• No prior accident and single previous owner

I've mainly been looking at Carvana, but honestly, all the cars look the same to me and I don't really know how to tell a good deal from a bad one.

I'm considering cars like the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Mazda3, Corolla Cross, HR-V, CX-30, etc., but I'm open to anything reliable.

I'd really appreciate advice from people around Augusta/Grovetown/Evans:

• Which cars/models would you recommend?
• Is Carvana a good option, or should I look at local dealerships?
• Are there any dealerships I should definitely use or avoid?
• Any recommendations for a trustworthy mechanic who can do a pre-purchase inspection?
• Any general advice for someone buying their first used car in the US?

Basically, if you were in my position, what would you buy and where would you buy it?

Thanks!

So me and my wife are moving to Augusta at the end of the week and I've been struggling to find us furnished short term rental for us to stay in until we close on a home we only need it for 1-2 months, so if anybody had any suggestions that'd be great.
