New construction and older homes sit side-by-side in Jackson Park.
Why Jackson Park works for Savannah homebuyers
Jackson occupies a small corner of central Savannah, less than a mile from the Starland District in Thomas Square and about 3 miles from Historic Savannah. Many of the neighborhood’s 1940s- and' 50s-era bungalows have seen recent renovations, bringing cosmetic improvements and newer features to its older homes. While almost entirely residential, Jackson Park offers a convenient location near a wide variety of amenities, from trendy commercial corridors to the historic district’s scenic squares and Midtown's large parks.
What to know about buying a home in Jackson Park
There’s a mix of older homes needing work, updated midcentury bungalows and 2020s new construction in the neighborhood. “There’s a lot of renovation going on in that area. As homeowners are getting older, they or their kids are selling their homes, which may or may not have deferred maintenance,” says Wynn Martin, a Realtor with Eighteen O’Two Realty, who has sold many homes in the area. “They’ll sell them to investors who renovate them and put them back on the market.”
Depending on size, age and condition, prices generally range from the low $100,000s to the high $300,000s, with new builds at the top. Jackson Park’s median sale price is in the low $200,000s, which is slightly higher than in Cann Park, the neighborhood just north with similar housing. Still, when compared to nearby Midtown neighborhoods, Jackson Park is relatively affordable. For example, Bingville's median sale price is in the high $300,000s, Ardmore-Gould Estates-Olin Heights falls in the low $500,000s and Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent's is in the low $700,000s.
Jackson Park is known for its midcentury bungalows.
Many new builds in Jackson Park match the previously existing housing stock.
