An eclectic and diverse southern town, it's genteel tradition juxtaposed comfortably alongside the progressive innovation

In a charming university community located only a short distance from Atlanta, Birmingham, or Montgomery, you'll find the twin cities of Auburn & Opelika, Alabama. An eclectic and diverse southern town, it's genteel tradition juxtaposed comfortably alongside the progressive innovation that springs from being the home of Auburn University.

World-class golf along the renowned Robert Trent Jones Trail is just one of the reasons Golf Digest named us the #1 Golf City in America and HGTV featured us in their You Should Live Here series.
