Higher Living
Signature Homes. Timeless Elegance. Only in Athens.

Discover 250 thoughtfully crafted residences nestled in a secluded retreat just beyond Alabama’s most innovative corridor, offering a diverse mix of homes designed for modern life.
Signature Raised Pier
At the heart of Higher Living is our namesake, a signature raised pier offering sweeping views, sunset strolls, and a quiet perch above the everyday. It’s more than a structure; it’s a state of mind.


An Elevated Lifestyle for the Active Few
In a community where wellness meets sophistication, residents enjoy more than just amenities;they gain access to a lifestyle. From pristine pickleball courts to a resort-style pool, every detail is designed to inspire movement, connection, and effortless style.
Because Weekends Matter
In a world that moves fast, Higher Living invites you to slow down. With meandering walking paths, open green spaces, and a sun-drenched community garden, it’s a place to stretch out a blanket, share a picnic, and savor the moments that truly count. Because there are only so many weekends to watch your children chase fireflies.
