Hinesville, Georgia is a military city just outside of Savannah with the motto “home for a day or a lifetime.” “Most people are moving to Hinesville to come to the military base for Fort Stewart,” says Sherika Townsley, a local Realtor with Coastal Homes of Georgia LLC who has over 12 years of experience. “They are coming here because they have a job or some type of situation where they are going to be working or dealing with the base.” Fort Stewart’s 3rd Infantry Division is the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi. The civilian population in Hinesville of about 34,800 people is also strong due to its proximity to Downcity Savanah and its competitive pricing. “It’s not a city like Atlanta or Charleston, it’s got the bare bones. It’s not the kind of place you would just wake up and say, ‘I want to move to Hinesville Georgia.’ But it’s also for people who can’t afford to live in Savannah,” Townsley says.
Fort Stewart brings a majority of the residents to Hinesville and is by far the biggest employer in the area. Other than that, most of the employment in Hinesville is in trades, transportation services and utility services. The manufacturing industry also accounts for much of the jobs in and around Hinesville. The city has several medical centers outside of the base, including the Liberty Regional Medical Center and the Winn Army Community Hospital.

New and affordable single-family homes
The median price for single-family homes in Hinesville is around $260,000, lower than the national average. “There are mostly single-family homes.

The average number of days on the market for Hinesville homes is slightly higher than the national average.

Fishing ponds and municipal parks
Hinesville’s seven municipal parks range from lakefront greenspaces like Bryant Commons Park to parks with baseball and soccer fields.

The city started a renovation project for Bradwell Park, located in the downtown area, that will eventually bring a stage, outdoor seating and a splash pad among other amenities to the park. Hinesville sees hot and humid summers, while winters are short and mild. FEMA gives Hinesville a relatively high risk for hurricanes.

Hinesville's Small World Festival celebrates diversity
Downtown also hosts the local farmers market, which serves as a community gathering space and a spot to buy fresh, locally grown products. On a day-to-day basis, residents can check out the regularly scheduled exhibits and events at The Hinesville Area Arts Council Gallery. Annual festivals include the Scarecrow Stroll, Blues, Brews & BBQ and the Small World Festival. The Scarecrow Stroll is the biggest annual city event and features everything from hay rides to dunk tanks. The Blues, Brews & BBQ event features local musicians and a barbecue competition. The Small World Festival celebrates the diverse cultures and unique heritages that make up the Hinesville population with an International Food Court, World Market Place and more.
Easy highway and interstate access
Highway 84 cuts right through the city and can take residents northeast to connect with Interstate 95 and continue on to Savannah. “The closest city is Savanna, and that’s like a 45-minute drive,” Townsley says. Savannah Airport is the closest airport to Hinesville and is located about 30 miles away.
Liberty County Schools District
Students in Hinesville can attend Liberty County Schools, which received a B-minus rating overall from Niche. “The schools in my opinion are very good,” Townsley says. “The kids who go to those public schools come from around the world. I have four kids, and I think it’s great for kids to be around other kids who have traveled the world.”
