Other nearby cities are Birmingham (110 miles northwest) and Columbus, Georgia (35 miles east). The Gulf Coasts of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle are about four hours away by car. Auburn enjoys a warm and sunny climate with mild winters. It has excellent health and recreational facilities and a low crime rate.

Auburn has a population just over 60,000 and is the 20th fastest growing city with over 50,000 people in the nation. It has the feel of a small town with everything you would expect from a major city, except for the traffic. Auburn is a bike-friendly town with bike lanes around the university and city.
