A relatively accessible option just outside downtown
Neat neighborhood streets and quaint homes built between the early to mid-20th century define Live Oak, an accessibly priced enclave just south of Savannah’s downtown. This is an area that, in the same breath, grips residents for decades and is attractive to first-time home buyers. Plus it’s conveniently located in relation to a range of attractions and amenities. “That’s a phenomenal neighborhood as far as proximity to everybody,” says local Realtor and longtime Savannah resident Ed Yannett, Team Leader for Team Yannett at eXp Realty.
Live Oak is located a few short miles southeast of Historic Savannah.

A cozy neighborhood with an established pedigree
Most of the houses around Live Oak were built in the first half of the 20th century, a collection of single-story ranch-style homes and bungalows. ‘It’s an older neighborhood, they have more of the Craftsman-style, built in the 20s and 30s and 40s homes,” says Yannett, who has 35 years of experience in real estate. “The lots are a little smaller, the homes are a little smaller. It’s just a great neighborhood.” Homes here come with floor plans that stretch an average of about 1,300 square feet, and they fill lots that are often around one-tenth of an acre. Many of Live Oak’s streets are at least partly shaded by assorted pine and oak trees, some of which come draped with Spanish moss. Houses here sell for prices from the mid-$200,000s to around $400,000. “Prices are probably a fifth of what they are in the historic district downtown, but you’re a $10 Uber away,” Yannett says.
Some homes in Live Oak are newly renovated.
