Benjamin Van Clark Homes for Rent

Benjamin Van Clark, a historic neighborhood on Savannah's eastside, is experiencing revitalization, attracting buyers seeking proximity to downtown Savannah without the high costs. The area features a mix of 1920s-era Craftsman-style bungalows and newer Stick-style homes, characterized by steeply pitched roofs and covered front porches. These homes, often situated on compact lots with mature oak trees and landscaped yards, offer three to four bedrooms and driveways, with additional street parking available. Sidewalks throughout the neighborhood provide easy access to nearby parks and bus stops along East Henry Street and East Anderson Street. Live Oak Park is a popular local feature, offering basketball courts, a playground, and a large grassy field for various activities. For golf enthusiasts, the private Savannah Golf Club provides access to an 18-hole course, tennis courts, and an outdoor pool. Shopping within the neighborhood is limited, but residents frequent big box stores off Truman Parkway, including Kroger, Whole Foods, and Target. Dining options in Savannah's historic district include The Olde Pink House, known for southern dishes, and Flock to the Wok, an upscale Chinese restaurant. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System serves the area, with many students attending the highly rated Savannah Arts Academy for high school. The neighborhood benefits from annual events hosted by the nearby Savannah College of Arts and Design (SCAD), such as the Sidewalk Arts Festival and the Savannah Irish Festival. Truman Parkway, running along the neighborhood’s east side, connects residents to Route 80 and Interstate 516, while the Chatham Area Transit (CAT) bus line provides public transportation options.
