Augusta balances wide-open scenery with easy access to everyday essentials, set within Frankford Township and the rolling countryside of Sussex County. You’re minutes from the shops, medical services, and dining in Newton and Sparta Township, yet still close to farms, trailheads, and winding country roads. Homes span classic farmhouses and newer colonials on generous lots—ideal for gardens, workshops, and four-season hobbies.
The community’s signature event is the New Jersey State Fair, staged at the Sussex County Fairgrounds, where agricultural exhibits, 4-H showcases, concerts, and rides fill the late-summer calendar. Sports and festivals animate the rest of the year at Skylands Stadium, home to the Sussex County Miners and popular seasonal celebrations. Outdoor time is practically a daily routine: panoramic overlooks at High Point State Park, cool forest lanes in Stokes State Forest, and the Paulinskill Valley Trail offer hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and serene paddling nearby.
Families appreciate the strong local schools. Younger students attend Frankford Township School, while teens head to High Point Regional High School with a wide range of academics, arts, and athletics. Daily needs are close at hand in Newton, and commuters connect via Routes 206 and 15.
