Georgia's First City is Still Most Captivating.
Savannah is unlike anywhere else in the South. Founded in 1733, it is Georgia's oldest city and one of the most beautifully preserved in the entire country. With a population approaching 150,000 and a metro area of over 430,000 residents, Savannah carries the energy of a growing, thriving city while somehow never losing the feeling of a place where time moves a little slower and people actually stop to talk.

The Real Estate Market
A City With Range. Something for Every Buyer.
Savannah’s real estate market is very diverse. Home values vary depending on the neighborhood, type of home, and location, so there is a wide range across the city.
Each area has its own feel and price point. A historic home downtown is very different from a bungalow in Ardsley Park or a newer home on the southside. That variety is what gives people different options depending on what they are looking for.
Over the years, many areas in Savannah have seen steady growth in value. Today’s market feels more balanced, which gives buyers a bit more space to make decisions without everything moving at a rushed pace.
Schools
Savannah is part of the Savannah Chatham County Public School System, which serves students across the city and county and includes a wide range of school options.
Some of the more recognized schools include Savannah Arts Academy, a magnet school focused on visual and performing arts, and Savannah Early College, where students can start earning college credit while still in high school. The Savannah College of Art and Design also plays a big role in the city and offers programs and opportunities that connect with the community in different ways.
School zoning in Savannah depends on the exact address and can vary a lot from one neighborhood to another, so it is always something to double check when looking at a home.
A City That Never Runs Out of Things to Discover
Savannah is the kind of place you keep discovering. Even after time here, there are always new spots to find, whether it is a quiet courtyard, a small gallery off the main streets, or a waterfront view that feels a little hidden.
The Historic District is really the center of it all. The 22 original squares give the city its unique layout and make it easy to explore on foot. Forsyth Park is one of the main gathering spots, with its fountain, oak trees, open green space, and regular community events.
River Street runs along the waterfront and brings a lot of energy to the city. You will find restaurants, shops, galleries, and riverboat activity, along with views of the working port and passing ships.
Bonaventure Cemetery is one of the most well known historic sites in the area, known for its old oaks, quiet paths, and detailed monuments. Other landmarks like the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Mercer Williams House, and the Davenport House also add to the city’s history.
Outside of downtown, places like the Georgia State Railroad Museum, the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, the SCAD Museum of Art, and events like the Savannah Music Festival all contribute to the city’s cultural scene.
