College Town Parks Historic Suburban Family-Friendly Affordable

The proud home to Auburn University, the city of Auburn is a vibrant college town nestled in east-central Alabama’s rolling hills. 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. Attending Tigers games at Jordan-Hare Stadium is a rite of passage for many Auburn residents and visitors. 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.
