Auburn’s culture and lively atmosphere is largely shaped by the university’s presence, so it’s safe to say that locals bleed orange and blue.

Toomer’s Corner is a popular gathering spot for all Auburn locals – students and city dwellers alike.
Auburn’s community comes together for an array of annual events, including Auburn CityFest, Auburn Floral Trail, and Auburn Recycles Day. Chewacla State Park provides endless options for outdoor recreation like fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, wildlife watching, and so much more! Auburn exudes a charming small-town feel and affordable rentals, so its popularity is understandable. Both Birmingham and Atlanta, Georgia are within a two-drive of Auburn, and with easy access to Interstate 85, getting to locales near and far is a breeze in Auburn.
