I really enjoyed seeing these Beautiful homes. Thanks for the ride. :)

Okay I had to do my own research 😝 “Murphy Village neighborhood in north Augusta is home to the largest and most affluent population of Irish travelers, who are descendants from a Irish minority ethic group who left Ireland around the time of the great hunger and settled in the US”

[@diamondeyez8590]

They're not an ethnic group their pure IRISH.

[@gb5584]

@diamondeyez8590 irish travellers are an ethnic group, they have their own language too

[@kathleenyoung8916]

These homes are HUGE for N Augusta

[@meribethlowe9308]

All windows boarded up or shuttered. No one allowed to see in any window.

[@aliasmarg8ta127]

No fences to divide the properties?

[@diner3gmail]

Funny Mansions right next to mobile homes. Bet they're super tacky on the inside.

[@deeplorable8988]

A serious lack of landscaping.

[@ciaranbrothers6110]

Beautiful houses,I didn't notice any pools though, I guess the aversion to water remains

[@MrCountrycuz]

I don't live far from this settlement . I was born and raised on the carnival midway so I have more in common with these people than any other group.

I wish irish travellers kept on travelling to canada to mexico anywhere not in america

[@riselle1]

Why are the properties so low but very big

Is this the same place that girl lived in the show the my big fat America Gypsy wedding?

Very interesting place love to visit one day meant america traveller before in Ireland will vist someday learn about the American travellers

[@patrickwentz8413]

McMansions. Cheaply built modern mansions.

[@loganstroganoff1284]

@@patrickwentz8413 bingo. Those home are big but made of the cheapest,most mickey mouse materials money can buy. Usually you go in and they're outfitted with gaudy, dated fixtures,appliances,and furniture. Anything on clearance at the warehouse will do.

I was wondering wow such huge beautiful homes but double wides in between every so many houses. So strange to me

[@Mtwiley93]

@@viviannakeaton3640I think a lot of times they’ll build a little “starter home” or put a trailer on their land for their kids when they get married and “move out”

Why can't y'all just leave the Travelers alone? Do you drive through other neighborhoods with large homes, making videos? No, you don't. So why bother the folks in Murphy Village?

The whole neighborhood is full of Irish mob-type scammers/con artists they display their wealth here with these houses. A lot don’t even live in the houses they live in trailers behind the houses 😂

[@taminguyen2622]

Why would "travelers" be on a map? Ever? I mean, you don't see 'Blacks' on a map of Mississippi, or 'Jews' in NY. Your bigotry is fishy!

[@no-sway3709]

You know what's creepy? Go through their little village (which is a public road, contrary to how they feel.) Everything is bizarre. Words don't describe the same as pictures. Also look at the edgefield publix index and see how the few surnames are plentiful in their.

[@lrob4444]

No sidewalks. No nice cobblestone driveways. Wtf?

It's a gypsy neighborhood and they prefer to decorate the yards. Right now most of the houses there have more
