Farmer's Exchange Student Lofts is a historic landmark dating back to the late 1800s. Originally serving as a general store and cotton warehouse, the building was transformed into loft-style apartments in 1999.
Rich in tradition, Farmer's Exchange is one of the most desired options for downtown student living. Conveniently located in vibrant downtown Athens, Farmer's Exchange is just steps away from UGA Campus and all the Classic City has to offer (The Classic Center, Akins Ford Arena, Sanford Stadium, downtown shops, groceries, restaurants...).
As a key gateway between Downtown and East Athens, Farmer's Exchange offers unbeatable convenience. Thoughtful renovations have introduced modern comforts while preserving its rich historical charm. Residents enjoy unique features such as 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, hardwood and concrete flooring and secure building access. The lofted beds add a unique touch to the living spaces, enhancing the property's character. Full kitchens and on-site laundry facilities provide modern conveniences.
This is a rare opportunity to live in a distinctive property with stunning views in the heart of downtown Athens.
Farmer's Exchange Lofts is more than just a place to live it's a piece of Athens history in Clarke County.
