About Student Housing in Milledgeville
Milledgeville is a small historic city in central Georgia that served as the state capital before the Civil War and today functions as the home of Georgia College and State University. With a population of roughly 18,000, the city has a distinct dual identity: a living museum of antebellum architecture and Georgia political history, and a vibrant college town energized by GCSU's roughly 7,000 students. The downtown area along West Hancock Street and the surrounding blocks features restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and local boutiques that cater to both students and longtime residents. The Oconee River and nearby Lake Sinclair provide outdoor recreation opportunities including fishing, kayaking, and swimming, making Milledgeville appealing to students who enjoy the outdoors. The cost of living is notably low compared to Atlanta or other Georgia college towns, and students will find that rent, dining, and entertainment budgets stretch further here. The city is within a two-hour drive of Atlanta, which gives students access to major airports, concerts, and internship opportunities while still offering the affordability and community feel of a smaller place.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Milledgeville
Downtown Historic District
The blocks surrounding the antebellum courthouse square offer walkable access to GCSU, restaurants, bars, and local shops, making this area the most sought-after location for students who want to be at the center of Milledgeville's social scene. Rents here tend to be slightly higher than in outlying neighborhoods due to the location premium.
North Campus Neighborhood
The residential streets north of the main GCSU academic buildings are popular with upperclassmen who want a short walk to class without the noise levels of the downtown core. The streets here are tree-lined and quiet, with a mix of older rental houses and small duplexes.
