Overview
Home is Where the Arch is | Across from UGA! is a newly renovated, smoke-free 2-bedroom condo in downtown Athens, positioned directly across from the University of Georgia’s North Campus. It’s named for its standout landmark location—about 100 feet from the UGA Arch—with views from the living room overlooking Broad Street.
Location
This condo is set up for walkable game days and downtown exploring, with Sanford Stadium and the Georgia Theater within walking distance. Restaurants, bars, and shopping are also described as nearby, making it easy to spend the trip largely on foot. Note that event days can make the immediate area especially busy.

The unit sleeps up to 6 guests using two private bedrooms plus living-room options. Both bedrooms have brand-new queen beds with fresh linens and soft blankets, and there’s also a queen air mattress available with extra pillows and blankets. The updated full bathroom includes a dual vanity and a shower/tub combo.
Living Space & Entertainment
A bright, Bulldog-themed living room is designed for groups, with plush sofa seating, fast free Wi‑Fi, and a 65-inch smart TV for downtime and pregame viewing. Air conditioning and heating are provided for year-round comfort.
Kitchen, Dining & Laundry

Best for
This condo best fits UGA visitors and game-day travelers who want to be steps from the UGA Arch and within walking distance of Sanford Stadium and the Georgia Theater. It also suits small groups who want an apartment-style setup with a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a large smart TV for relaxing between downtown outings.
Travel tips
Parking is not available on-site; plan to use public paid parking nearby, including city-owned garages at College Avenue and Washington Street, and limited street parking where permitted. Downtown and game/event days can be especially busy—build extra time into arrival and parking. There is construction outside the building; sound machines are provided in both bedrooms to help with potential noise.
What guests say
Guests consistently highlight the standout location, emphasizing how easy it is to reach downtown and nearby UGA-area attractions on foot. Cleanliness is also mentioned as a positive, with the unit described as well-suited to the purpose of the trip. A recurring challenge is parking, which some guests find difficult—consistent with the lack of on-site parking and reliance on paid public options. Overall sentiment reflects a strong likelihood of return driven mainly by proximity and convenience.
