What Oakhurst’s ranch-style homes cost
In Oakhurst, shady streets are lined with homes built from the 1950s to the ‘70s, giving residential areas a classic neighborhood feel. “It’s just quieter streets,” says Realtor Meghan Littlefield of Seabolt Real Estate, a longtime Savannah resident. “It’s really one or two ways in, one or two ways out. It’s off a busier road, so you’re not going through that neighborhood unless you’re trying to go through that neighborhood.” You’ll find mostly brick ranch-style homes in Oakhurst, and housing costs are generally more affordable than in areas closer to Midtown Savannah or Historic Savannah . Home prices typically range from the high $100,000s to the high $200,000s, and there are plenty of rental options, from single-family homes to apartments.
