Small, historic city full of small-town charm

Homes sit on large lots along narrow roads in Pembroke, the county seat of Bryan County. This small, historic city just 31 miles from Savannah. While residential areas may appeal to those interested in a more secluded, rural lifestyle, the city’s downtown district provides a close-knit, small-town feel. “We are small-town,” says Becky Stewart, the assistant manager at Pembroke Library. “It’s a typical small town where you do know pretty much everybody. Either you went to school with them, or you just know them from coming in and out of businesses,” Stewart says. In the downtown district, local shops cluster together along sidewalk-lined streets, and a quaint memorial park sits next to the police station.

Most homes are older, but development is steady

Homebuyers can expect to find a wide variety of architectural styles here. Among the most popular are shotgun, traditional, custom contemporary, Colonial Revival, Cape Cod, Victorian and ranch-style homes. There are many older homes, but development is steady here, more new builds are coming up on the market. Smaller two- to four-bedroom homes can sell for between $120,000 and $275,000, while larger homes can sell for more than $435,000.
