An appealing blend of home values and convenience in Midtown
The neighborhood of Sunset Park is an amenity-laden residential enclave tucked into the northeast corner of Midtown Savanah, filled with older, attractively priced homes on walkable, canopy-covered streets. Residents here enjoy proximity to schools, dining and retail options, access to major thoroughfares and more. “It’s really close to Memorial Hospital, close to Savannah State University and close to Daffin Park, where the Savannah Bananas play,” says Trisha Cook of Compass Real Estate, a longtime city resident who has sold homes in the neighborhood.

Ranch-style homes are the dominant residential feature

Prices typically range from the mid-$100,000s to around $300,000.
