East Savannah neighborhood with walkable schools and amenities
In LaRoche Park-Springhill-Daffin Heights, mature trees stand tall over quiet streets, guarding a collection of midcentury modern homes in a transitional neighborhood that offers an appealing blend of community amenities in a convenient east Savannah location. Students can complete their entire secondary educational journey without leaving the neighborhood, which features elementary, middle and high schools. Recreation and relaxation are readily available at a popular park. Main thoroughfares border two sides of the neighborhood, providing quick and easy access to public transportation and travel throughout the city. A medical center and a state university are within walking distance.
Established midcentury modern homes attract outside buyers
Home prices typically range from the high $100,000s to the high $300,000s. The average home value is just under $250,000. Comparatively, the average value in neighboring Parkside is more than $400,000. “The Daffin Heights area is great, but it has gone through a lot of change in recent years, a lot of re-gentrification,” says Kate Fowler, a Realtor with Century 21 Results who regularly lists homes in the area and most recently sold a neighborhood home in September 2023. The combination of changing demographics and better price points has made the neighborhood attractive to outside buyers. “A lot of investors are drawn to the neighborhood, and there are still deals to be had,” adds Fowler. “Older, established homeowners are moving out, and there are a lot of estate sales.” The neighborhood was developed primarily between the early 1950s and the early 1970s, and the architecture reflects that. Ranch-style homes on spacious lots with private driveways and large yards are prominent, with brick construction the most common. Midcentury modern designs with similar standard features also can be found. Custom landscaping complements the forest-like surroundings and adds curb appeal.

Victory Square and the area surrounding it comprise a sprawling shopping center just north of the neighborhood anchored by big-box retailers such as Target, Home Depot, Kroger and Whole Foods. A collection of eateries surrounds the stores, but more popular dining can be found closer to home. Carey Hilliard’s is a city staple. “It’s an old Savannah restaurant with several locations,” says Fowler. "It’s known for its seafood, fried chicken and barbecue.” No Sauce Barbecue is a highly rated family run eatery near Forest Hills Park. Both options are conveniently located off Skidaway Road, which runs along the neighborhood’s east side.
