Picturesque Savannah suburb with historic charm and convenient proximity
Ardsley Park and Chatham Crescent sit side-by-side, upscale Savannah communities created in unison during the early 20th Century's City Beautiful movement. This nationwide campaign brought natural scenery to dense metropolitan neighborhoods. Early urban planners emphasized a need for park spaces and an easy-to-navigate grid-patterned layout. Positioned roughly 3 miles south of downtown Savannah, Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent provides a comfortable distance from the city bustle and easy access to the college town's nightlife and culture. Homeowners here are conveniently within arm's reach of Tybee and Wilmington islands, the artsy downtown district, and the scenic Savannah River.
Storybook architecture and Spanish moss
The tall oaks and maple trees lining the quiet streets are as old as the neighborhood itself, their long branches stretching over the sidewalks, draped with silvery Spanish moss. Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent is a locally coveted community where well-maintained historic homes hold their value. Early 1900s Tudor Revivals with exposed timbering sit beside cozy Craftsman and Colonial styles with shuttered windows and symmetrical frames. New construction is a rare find here, where most homeowners opt to refurbish character-rich homes, preserving the original architecture and long-standing community vision. Properties start around $500,000 for a small bungalow and climb to almost $3 million for a spacious six-bedroom estate. Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent's higher price tags don't deter potential buyers, as most listings find new owners within a few weeks. "We're also sitting on a quarter of the inventory we usually have," says Joel Solomon, Realtor at Century 21 Solomon Properties and Savannah native.
