title: Five Points is a neighborhood
---

Five Points is a neighborhood of Athens that is generally upper-middle class, full of landscaped yards and healthy, active people. The area has nice small eateries, shops, and other businesses. It's a nice place to walk and bike, and would be a nice place to live, if the rents weren't so amazingly high (compared to the rest of town, anyway). [Friends of Five Points](http://www.fivepts.com/) is the community association, and their website is full of local activism.
