Auburn University Faculty and Staff Relocation: I’ve Helped Faculty & Staff From All Departments
Auburn University faculty and staff relocation has become one of the most consistent parts of the Auburn real estate market — and it’s something I truly love helping with. Over the years, I’ve worked with professors, coaches, researchers, and administrative professionals from nearly every corner of Auburn University. From Athletics to Engineering, COSAM, Veterinary Medicine, the School of Nursing, and more, I’ve helped dozens of faculty and staff members find the perfect place to call home right here in Auburn and Opelika.
Tailored Home Searches for Every AU Role
Whether you’re tenure-track, staff, or in a transitional position, your housing needs are unique — and your home search should be too. Many new faculty members want to live close to campus for easy access to work, class, and Jordan-Hare Stadium on game days. Others prefer quieter neighborhoods with larger yards and easy access to Auburn City Schools or Opelika City Schools for their families.
If you want a peaceful retreat after long days in the classroom or lab, neighborhoods like Moores Mill, Grove Hill, or Asheton Park offer space, trees, and a quick commute. If you’d rather walk or bike to Auburn University, areas near Cary Woods or Shelton Mill are great for convenience and charm.
Real Stories From the Field
One of my favorite relocation stories involved an AU Vet Med faculty member who was moving from the Midwest. They wanted a home with a fenced yard for their pets, easy access to Pines Crossing Golf Club, and a quiet neighborhood for evening walks. After exploring options in both Auburn and Opelika, they fell in love with a property in Grove Hill — the perfect blend of comfort, community, and location.
Another recent client from the College of Engineering wanted a newer home with a home office and proximity to I-85 for easy travel. We found exactly what they were looking for in East Auburn — minutes from campus yet tucked away enough for privacy and peace.
Every client, whether from Auburn University’s College of Sciences and Mathematics (COSAM) or administrative departments, deserves an experience that feels personal, not transactional. That’s why I customize every relocation search to match lifestyle, commute, and long-term plans.
Why Auburn and Opelika Work So Well for AU Employees
Auburn’s appeal goes far beyond campus life. Faculty and staff love the blend of small-town warmth, cultural events, and academic energy. Opelika adds affordability and convenience, with vibrant shopping areas like Opelika Tiger Town and easy access to Auburn University just minutes away.
Between neighborhood amenities, award-winning Auburn City Schools, and top-rated golf and dining at Auburn University Club, there’s something here for everyone — whether you’re in Athletics, Nursing, or the Registrar’s Office.
