A blooming community just off Truman Parkway
Despite its name, Magnolia Park-Blueberry Hill isn’t known for either magnolias or blueberries. Instead, this southside Savannah neighborhood is a beacon of flowering camellias, which signal the coming spring with vivid, late-winter blooms. “All of Savannah is known for camellias, but especially the 1950s neighborhoods. They have them more than any other,” says Helen Miltiades, owner and broker of Helen Miltiades Realty and a longtime Savannah resident. Camellias have always been present in Magnolia Park-Blueberry Hill, but a 2023 county program is pushing the flower’s reputation to a new level — nearly 2,000 camellias are set to be planted along the 3-mile bike trail that borders Truman Parkway on the neighborhood’s west side, and Miltiades says it's just about finished. The lush flora only adds to the neighborhood’s secluded feel, which is in stark contrast to the bustle of nearby Oglethorpe Mall. “It’s convenient to everything, but it’s still a great family neighborhood,” Miltiades says. Churches line nearby Skidaway Road, and there are multiple parks and schools within walking distance, making Magnolia Park-Blueberry Hill bloom with both convenience and comfort.

Midcentury modern homes stand out amid traditional architecture
The neighborhood was built primarily between the 1950s and 1970s, and brick ranch-style homes are common. Many showcase slim, horizontal windows and low-pitched roofs, a nod to the few midcentury modern builds that pepper the area. Most of the streets lack sidewalks, but long driveways and attached garages help limit street parking, leaving plenty of room for walkers. Tall oaks and pines provide shade in the summer, and camellias offer a pop of color in late winter. On the west side of the neighborhood, there are a few empty lots that often catch the eye of developers, but this is by design. “There’s a floodplain on the western side of the neighborhood, so they’ve actually taken some of those houses out,” says Alison Harris, a Realtor with Harris Home Team at Keller Williams, who has 18 years of experience selling in the Savannah market. Homes can range in size from 1,300 square feet to just over 2,000 square feet, with three- and four-bedroom options listing between $300,000 and $500,000.

Savannah-Chatham County Schools offer choice enrollment
While some students will attend Heard Elementary, which scores a grade of B-minus on Niche, many will enroll in the School of Humanities at Juliette Gordon Low, an elementary school that is currently unrated by Niche. After a few years at Myers Middle, which receives a C-minus, students can move on to Jenkins High, a B-plus-rated school within walking distance for some residents. Harris says Jenkins is known for its competitive School of Engineering as well as a robust JROTC program. Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools also offers a choice enrollment program, meaning students can apply to any district school outside their attendance zone. Private schools are also available nearby, including the kindergarten through 12th grade Memorial Day School, which receives a B-plus from Niche, and Midtown’s Calvary Day School, which scores an A.

Take a summer stroll to the MBF Pool
One of the perks of living in Magnolia Park-Blueberry Hill is gaining access to the MBF Pool, which welcomes residents from the Magnolia Park-Blueberry Hill and Fairway Oaks neighborhoods. The pool sits adjacent to a spacious field and three playscapes that accommodate different age groups. From here, it’s a short walk down Morgan Street to Bacon Park, where tennis lovers, golfers and baseball fans feel right at home. Bacon Park connects to nearby Lake Mayer Park with a newly paved multiuse trail bordered by newly planted camellias. “The whole area around Lake Mayer is very cool. We have alligators here, so there’s no swimming, but people do fish in the lake. There’s also a skatepark and a skating rink for pickup hockey games,” Harris says. Locals also meet for disc golf at Forrest Hills Park, which has a shaded playground and picnic areas.

Cohen’s Retreat is a locally owned favorite
Locally owned Cohen’s Retreat is a shopping and dining experience. “It’s an amazingly cool place, and it’s walkable in the neighborhood,” Harris says. Showcasing some of the area’s best camellias, the cozy bed and breakfast is a destination for date nights, special events and boutique shopping. Visitors can also extend their stay with an evening in one of the retreat’s historic cottages. Additional dining options are concentrated across the highway in Midtown, with many sitting adjacent to the Memorial Health University Medical Center campus. Early birds flock to Sunny Side Up for a hearty breakfast in a laid-back, classic American diner environment, while Kayak Kafe offers New American fare in a bright industrial space. Within a few miles of home, shoppers will find Food Lion, Publix Super Market and a host of retail and restaurants surrounding Oglethorpe Mall, southside Savannah’s largest indoor shopping mall.
