About Albany

About 180 miles south of Atlanta, the town of Albany, Georgia, is a large city of almost 77,000 situated in farmland on the East Gulf coast on the banks of the Flint River. Despite the fact that the town lies in the fertile lands of Georgia and is surrounded by pine trees, pecan groves, farms and plantations, agriculture is not a major employer here. Those searching for a house for rent or an apartment for rent will find health care, education and a Marine Corps logistics base as the major industries here. Several manufacturing companies operate as well.

Children living here are served by the Dougherty County School System, which includes 15 elementary schools, seven middle schools, four high schools, and an alternative school, and six private schools offer alternatives for those in search of a house for rent or an apartment for rent here. Albany State University and Darton College Albany Technical College can be found in Albany as well. For recreation, residents will find the arena football team the South Georgia Wildcats, a baseball farm team in the South Coast League, the South Georgia Peanuts, a ballet theater, chorale, museum of art, symphony, IMAX theater and more, including one of two accredited zoos in the state at The Parks at Chehaw.
