Midtown Savannah has convenient location with access to key city spots

As its name suggests, Midtown Savannah sits in the middle of everything. With a more suburban vibe and less foot traffic than nearby areas, it offers a mix of restored early-1900s homes and newer construction — and it’s close to major destinations such as Forsyth Park and the Starland District. It’s low-key but convenient, with a handful of coffee shops, diners and corner markets near the neighborhood’s edges for everyday errands.

Historic and modern homes in Midtown Savannah

Homes range from restored early-1900s buildings to contemporary new construction. “You have a different buyer for historic homes than for new construction,” says Staci Donegan, an associate broker with Seabolt Real Estate and downtown Savannah resident, noting that the neighborhood is home to everyone from young families to longtime residents. Early- to mid-20th-century Craftsman-style bungalows can cost from the mid-$200,000s to the upper $400,000s. Contemporary American Foursquares built after 2010 can run in the low-$500,000 to $600,000 range. These boxy builds echo the neighborhood’s 20th-century charm, when this housing style was popular. About 60% of residents are renters. However, the neighborhood offers mostly single-family homes and few apartments. Investors looking to purchase a multifamily property can find one in the low millions—if one comes on the market.

Pocket parks in Midtown, with larger outdoor areas close

Baldwin Park, a small, shady neighborhood green space, is within walking distance for some residents. Visitors can relax on benches, take their kids to the playground or follow the tree-lined path to Tiedman Park, dotted with palm trees and live oaks. There’s a small, fenced-in playground on East 38th Street. Daffin Park, about a mile away, spans 80 acres and has large green fields and recreational facilities, including playgrounds, a swimming pool and tennis, basketball and beach volleyball courts. Grayson Stadium, home of the Savannah Bananas baseball team, is also in the park. Forsyth Park, Savannah’s most famous outdoor space, is also about a mile away. This community hub is known for its Saturday farmers market, the fountain on its north side and the Savannah Jazz Festival in September.

Walkable and bike-friendly with easy access to major roads

Midtown Savannah sees less traffic and tourists than nearby neighborhoods. However, it remains close to major institutions, like Memorial Health University Medical Center and the Savannah College of Art and Design. "You can find everything you want within walking distance," says downtown Savannah resident and Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Coastal Area Partners, Jacqueline Mason. "You can find anything you might want, shops or restaurants, within walking distance." Although the neighborhood is walkable and bike-friendly, and Chatham Area Transit buses run through, residents rely on cars for longer-distance trips. Curbside parking is the default, with some metered streets, usually near its busier commercial edges. Route 80 cuts through Midtown, and interstates 516 and 16 are nearby.
