About Five Points

Five Points is the little village where Lumpkin Street and Milledge Avenue meet, south of campus, with restaurants, coffee and shops and tree-lined streets of older homes all around.

How we measure the walk

We follow actual walking routes on sidewalks, trails, paths and streets, at an easy 3 mph, from the edge of Five Points. A home counts if the walk takes 20 minutes or less. Straight-line distance can be misleading when a creek or highway is in the way.
