If you’re looking for a relatively affordable part of Savannah with easy access to southside shopping centers, Lundhurst-Rivers End might be the place for you. The small neighborhood sits near Oglethorpe Mall, about 10 miles from Historic Savannah, but usually, it feels even farther. Mature live oaks shade quiet roads, and marshes along the Vernon River create a natural buffer from everyday traffic and noise.
In Lundhurst-Rivers End, you’ll find mostly apartments and ranch-style homes built between the 1950s and ‘70s, with a few two-story houses sprinkled in. “Most houses have three bedrooms, usually with one or one and a half baths,” says Realtor Thomas Danos of ERA Southeast Coastal Real Estate, who’s a longtime Savannah resident. “A lot of them were very well built in the midcentury, with brick exteriors.” Prices can range from the lower $100,000s to the upper $400,000s, and lots of rental properties are available, too. Housing prices in Lundhurst-Rivers End are on par with nearby neighborhoods like Oakhurst and Skyland Terrace-Greenway Park, which are more affordable than most parts of Savannah, with median sale prices about $100,000 lower than the city’s.
The Vernon River flows through the neighborhood. The River’s End Community Boat Ramp offers a spot to access the water, or you can fish for trout and striped bass along its banks. Over time, runoff from drainage-related flooding, a common issue in this low-lying city with outdated infrastructure, has affected the river’s health. Local and regional agencies, in response, actively monitor water quality, organize cleanups and work to update aging pipes throughout Savannah. Still, flooding remains a concern in Lundhurst-Rivers End. Parts of the neighborhood fall into FEMA’s Flood Zone AE, which is high-risk, and federally backed mortgages in those areas will require flood insurance in addition to standard homeowners insurance.
Lundhurst-Rivers End is in a convenient location, near Chatham Area Transit bus stops and major thoroughfares. Waters Avenue runs through the neighborhood and connects to Harry S. Truman Parkway, so it’s easy to reach all that Savannah has to offer, as well as other nearby areas. Here’s what you can find nearby and how far you’ll need to travel:
The highly rated Savannah-Chatham County Public School System serves Lundhurst-Rivers End.
