Lundhurst-Rivers End homes still standing strong
Most of the houses around Lundhurst-Rivers End were built in the 1940s and 1950s, but many have been well-kept and are still in good condition. These homes are mostly a mix of ranchers, bungalows, Cape Cods and colonials. “A lot of them are three bedrooms, maybe one bath or one and a half baths,” says Danos, who has been selling in the area for well over 20 years. “Maybe between 1,200 and 1,600 square feet. Low profile. A lot of them, though, were very well built — built midcentury, with brick exteriors.” The homes here dot an otherwise leafy landscape and fill well-manicured and spacious lots that often range from one-fifth of an acre to half an acre. The prices in the area start in the high $100,000s and top out around $400,000.

Fresh air isn’t hard to find
The area’s marshes blend into the 12-mile Vernon River, a tributary open to fishing and boating. The River's End Community Boat Ramp is a spot here to launch into the water, and trout and striped bass are among the species anglers can catch. Anglers can also nab bass in nearby Lake Mayer Park — the 46-acre Lake Mayer anchors this park, a space that also includes eight lighted tennis courts, lighted basketball courts, a playground, a more than 2-mile track for jogging and cycling and even an exercise area for dogs. Those looking for an even more peaceful outdoor escape can visit the Savannah Botanical Gardens, a 10-acre spot full of flowers and lush greenery.

The private Saint James Catholic School, which includes prekindergarten through eighth grade, is also in the area.
Chow down at Lake Mayer Park
Lake Mayer Park, which stretches 75 acres total, hosts a variety of events each year. The park’s features include two pavilions and plenty of open field space, and the community takes advantage of for things like a back-to-school festival with music, food, free backpacks and a three-on-three basketball tournament. There’s also a Halloween and truck-or-treat here and a Southeast Crab Feast with all-you-can-eat seafood.CAT can carry residents around the city
One of Montgomery Cross Road’s benefits is that it’s lined with Chatham Area Transit bus stops, a system with 16 routes and 60 buses that can transport locals around the city. Harry S. Truman Parkway is close by, an artery drivers can use to slide up to Downtown Savannah, which is only about 10 miles to the north.Montgomery Cross makes finding food and more easy
Lundhurst-Rivers End’s sleepy residential streets are juxtaposed with proximity to East Montgomery Cross Road, a thoroughfare lined with restaurants and other businesses. Jackie’s Seafood Market is one of the local haunts here, popular in part for its fresh fried platters and Low Country boils. Locals can pick up seafood at Jackie’s to cook at home, too, and stop by Uncle Ben's Jr. Meat Market next door to finish filling their freezers. Also, the 943,801-square-foot Oglethorpe Mall is only a couple of miles away, a spot whose lists of stores range from Macy’s to Barnes & Noble.
