Originally Lulaville, in 1915 the town was renamed Martinez (pronounced Mart-uhn-EZ) when postal officials learned that Georgia already had another Lulaville.
Martinez residents enjoy award-winning public schools and a small-town culture. The real-estate bubble largely passed the town by, although home prices have increased over the past three years. Entry-level, three-bedroom houses start below $130,000.
The town, located in Columbia County, near Augusta, has a large military population that works at nearby Fort Gordon. Many residents are in the healthcare field, with a short commute for work or school at Augusta's Medical College of Georgia.
