Live Oak is a central Savannah neighborhood with a laid-back vibe
Live Oak is a quaint neighborhood in central Savannah named for the trees that drape over its streets. This small community can feel like it's in an earlier time, with 20th-century Craftsman-style bungalows on sidewalk-lined streets and local restaurants within walking distance. It’s a little removed from the more tourist-heavy parts of Savannah, but still a short walk or drive from all the city has to offer.
Live Oak is located a few short miles southeast of Historic Savannah.
Homes in Live Oak are situated on lush green lawns.

Smaller Craftsman-style homes built in the early 20th century
Live Oak was primarily developed in the first half of the 20th century. “They have more Craftsman-style homes built in the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s,” says Realtor and longtime Savannah resident Edward Yannett with eXp Commercial. “The lots are a little smaller, and the homes are a little smaller.” Although it’s older, Live Oak is well-maintained: yards are neat and mowed, sidewalks are tidy and homes are mostly updated. Depending on size, age and condition, Craftsman-style bungalows or other small, single-story builds can range in price from the low $100,000s to the low $400,000s. “Prices are probably a fifth of what they are in the historic district downtown, but you’re a $10 Uber ride away,” Yannett says. The neighborhood also has many rental properties.
Some homes in Live Oak are newly renovated.
