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.

Savannah Bananas at Daffin Park

Locals can enjoy Savannah's mild climate at the community's seven walkable parks, including the spacious Daffin, which houses a public swimming pool, a dog run and the Grayson baseball stadium, home of the Sand Gnats and the entertaining Savannah Bananas. The Savannah area is teeming with local events and has a large arts community fueled by the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). The neighborhood is also close to Forsyth Park, the city's go-to venue for outdoor concerts, arts festivals and the year-round farmer's market. Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent locals are front and center for citywide celebrations like the Fourth of July fireworks show and the famed St. Patrick's Day parade, one of the largest in the nation. This close-knit community also hosts smaller events throughout the year, including multi-home yard sales, cookouts and trick-or-treating events for the kids.

Walking distance from the quirky Starland District

"The neighborhood is within walking distance of all the activity in the Starland District," Solomon says. Savannah's vibrant small business enclave brims with quirky bars, eateries and boutique shops. Locals can grab a burger and fries at Green Truck Neighborhood Pub, a long-standing local favorite, or reserve a table at Elizabeth's on 37th for date nights and celebrations. Two Tides Brewing took over the second floor of a classic 200-year-old Savannah home, where visitors can take their pick of rooms decked out in local art to enjoy the funky drafts. Homeowners are also convenient to the area’s traditional shopping centers, full of chains and big box stores, for weekly errands.
