Tranquility and proximity under the canopy of live oaks

Under the canopy of the iconic Spanish-draped live oak trees, Victory Heights is a residential neighborhood that is the halfway point between the vibrant areas of downtown Savannah and the scenic beaches along the coast. “Proximity is a big draw,” says Tom Oxnard, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. “Victory Heights is about a 10-minute drive to downtown; on the flip side, it’s 15 or 20 minutes to the beach.”

Soul food and shopping malls

Savannah is known as a culinary destination, and Sisters of the New South is a big reason why. The restaurant has been serving real-deal soul food since 2009 and features classic dishes such as fried chicken, shrimp and grits and collard greens. Nearby, Victory Square Shopping Mall is the neighborhood’s main commercial area, and residents can peruse the different shops and restaurants or catch a movie at NCG Cinema. “Victory Heights is within walking distance of stores and restaurants since it’s so close to Victory Drive,” says Oxnard. Some grocery store options include Target, Kroger, and Whole Foods. New Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church serves the area.

Summers spent at Grayson Stadium

During summer, residents head a mile west to Grayson Stadium to catch a Savannah Bananas baseball game. What was once an exhibition barnstorming baseball team has now become a national phenomenon, and residents of Victory Heights can enjoy the whacky games right in their backyard. The team employs a quirky set of rules to the classic sport, and players stepping up to the plate on stilts is a common sight. Visitors are constantly engaged as a foul ball caught by a fan counts as an out in the game. Beyond that, Grayson Stadium hosts fireworks displays and numerous events, such as the Juneteenth Fine Arts Festival.
