Walkable island living
Whitemarsh Island floats on the Wilmington River a little more than 8 miles south of downtown Savannah’s Historic District and less than 13 miles north of Tybee Island. “It’s almost equidistant, so it’s about 10 to 15 minutes either way,” says Coldwell Banker Realtor Jinan Lamas, whose grandfather developed part of the island. She adds that its convenient proximity to the hip shopping and buzzy dining scenes downtown and Tybee’s sandy beach make it a sought-after area for homebuyers. But the island itself offers such a vibrant array of shopping, dining and entertainment, that Lamas says she tries not to leave. “You can walk to restaurants, bars and grocery stores, even schools. And there’s no HOA, so it’s not a restricted covenant area,” she says. With walkable access to the waterfront and neighborhood parks, too, there certainly aren’t many reasons to venture off-island.
Residents of Whitmarsh Island enjoy walking the quiet residential streets.

From condos to estates
Home prices here run from $200,000 for one-bedroom condos in early 2000s-era buildings to more than $6 million for four-bedroom waterfront estates custom-built in the mid-2000s. The median price for a typical Traditional or ranch-style single-family home with three or four bedrooms is close to $440,000. “It’s a mix of styles of construction, from ranches to Contemporaries, the whole works. And the lots are pretty spacious,” says Lamas. One of her recent listings on the island, a classic brick ranch built in 1985, just sold for $469,900. “That house was a custom home when it was built. It’s got a new roof, heat, air, everything in there is updated,” she says, adding that most homes here are just as well-maintained. “There’s a nice mix of quality-built older homes and new construction,” says Lamas. “With the construction boom, there are even houses here that are under a year old.”

Highly rated county schools
Island youngsters attend Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools close to home. Between kindergarten and eighth grade, kids go to Marshpoint Elementary and Coastal Middle, both of which earned B grades from Niche in 2024. Coastal Middle sits in the No. 4 spot on Niche’s list of the best public middle schools in Chatham County. Older students go to Islands High, which also earned a B from Niche. All three schools are located on the island, within 2 miles of most homes. The high school opened in 2010 in response to a growing number of students on Whitemarsh and surrounding islands. Islands High teens today are civic-minded; theatre students presented a series of one-act plays to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank during the 2023-2024 school year, and the Student Senate sponsors regular Ronald McDonald House toy drives.
