Housing stock
Athens includes older residential areas with substantial early- to mid-20th-century housing: the official county profile describes Boulevard as a late-19th- to early-20th-century streetcar suburb with one- to two-story homes ranging from vernacular cottages to mansions, while Buena Vista Heights has 62 properties, most built between 1890 and 1960. These older homes can present replacement-window issues such as deteriorated frames, drafty single-pane units, and historically sensitive exterior details, so existing conditions and district guidelines should be checked.
