Why Savannah homebuyers go bananas for Parkside
Living in Parkside puts you steps from one of Savannah's most popular outdoor spaces. Daffin Park, which spans nearly 80 acres along East Victory Drive, includes the home field of the Savannah Bananas, a nationally recognized barnstorming baseball team that’s known for its entertaining, family-friendly games. When they’re not enjoying Banana Ball, residents often stroll the neighborhood’s walkable streets, attend a nearby local event or drive about 5 miles into Historic Savannah for a bite to eat. Plus, homes in Parkside have curb appeal, with historic details, tidy landscaping and prices that are generally lower than those in nearby Midtown neighborhoods.
What homes in Parkside look like and cost
Parkside is known for its Craftsman-style bungalows. “They all have their own personality,” says Scott Dole, a real estate agent with Compass Georgia, LLC, and a longtime Savannah resident. “These homes were typically built in the 1930s and ‘40s with slightly smaller lots [than those in nearby neighborhoods]. They’re typically two to three bedrooms, maybe with a detached garage, so they offer quite a bit for the location and price.” In Parkside, housing prices generally range from the low $300,000s to the low $600,000s. “The neighborhood has become more popular as Ardsley Park-Chatham Crescent has become more expensive,” Dole adds, referencing the historic neighborhood nearby with a median single-family home sale price about $300,000 higher than Parkside.
What’s happening at Daffin Park
Daffin Park sits in the northern part of the neighborhood, and moss-draped live oak trees line the road leading to its entrance. “Daffin Park has wide open areas, with athletic facilities—a public pool, tennis courts and volleyball courts,” Dole says. “It also has a brand-new playground and a large walking path along the perimeter. People play sports there and walk their dogs—it has one of the few public dog parks in the city.” Daffin Park also features Grayson Stadium, home ballpark of the Savannah Bananas, part of an exhibition league where players in bright yellow uniforms regularly break out in dances, film TikToks and engage in other fun antics during games.
Things to do in Parkside
It seems like there’s always something going on in Parkside. “The neighbors are very friendly, and there’s a great sense of community,” Dole says. The Parkside Neighborhood Association plans various community events, from Halloween trick-or-treating and a haunted house to the Thanksgiving in the Street potluck. Although not directly tied to the neighborhood association, Daffin Park plays a large role in Parkside’s community life, with its own year-round event schedule. In April, Earth Day Savannah celebrates environmental education and awareness through hands-on workshops, kids’ activities, vendors and more. At the Easter Eggstravaganza, put on by the Savannah Police Department, kids hunt for thousands of eggs. Books, Blankets & Family Fun, hosted by the school district, offers even more family-friendly fun, with music, games, food trucks and reading activities. Recurring races, fundraisers and charity events also bring energy to Daffin Park throughout the year.
Where Parkside residents shop and dine
Parkside is a short drive from several commercial areas. East Victory Drive, just outside the neighborhood, is home to Aldi and Whole Foods. Keep going east, and you’ll reach Victory Square Plaza, a shopping center in the Oakland Park-Northgate-Eastgate neighborhood with big-box stores and casual dining options. Savannah’s trendier areas are close, too, including:
The Starland District, with cafes, galleries and the Starland Yard food truck park
Habersham Village, a strip of locally-owned businesses, including restaurants, boutique shops and a family-run grocery store
River Street, Savannah’s famous cobblestone corridor along the riverfront with pubs, restaurants, shopping and entertainment
“The neighborhood is well located. It’s 10 to 15 minutes to downtown, but also 10 to 15 minutes to Midtown Savannah hubs and even the Southside, where there’s the Oglethorpe Mall and more big-box options,” Dole says.
Savannah’s public and private school options
Parkside is part of the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System. The district offers magnet-style choice programs, with admission typically determined by lottery if demand exceeds capacity, though some programs require auditions or eligibility benchmarks. Families may also request in-district transfers outside their attendance zone, which are approved based on space and district policy. Savannah also offers many private options, including Blessed Sacrament Catholic School, which sits just outside Parkside and educates students from prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Getting around Savannah from Parkside
Parkside offers easy access to all that Savannah has to offer. Here’s what to know about transportation in the neighborhood:
Harry S. Truman Parkway, the city’s main north-south route, is just east.
Chatham Area Transit buses provide several routes throughout the city.
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is about 20 miles away.
