Cuyler-Brownsville Townhome for Sale

Cuyler-Brownsville, located in Savannah, is one of the city's oldest historically Black neighborhoods, known for its significant role in the civil rights movement. Despite decades of disinvestment leading to some homes in disrepair and a lack of businesses, the neighborhood's rich history earned it a spot on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1998. The area features a mix of housing styles, including Foursquare cottages, rowhouses, and bungalows, with many homes dating back to the 1930s. These homes are situated on narrow lots with small front yards and larger backyards, often lacking garages and driveways, leading residents to park on the brick-paved streets. Sidewalks are abundant, providing easy access to local amenities such as Bowles C. Ford Park and Floyd Adams Park. Forsyth Park, just a few blocks away, offers walking paths, sports courts, and a large playground. For shopping, residents frequent Chu’s Market for groceries and head to the shopping centers at Truman Parkway and East Victory Road for larger retailers like Kroger, Whole Foods, and Target. The nearby Starland District offers locally owned shops and popular dining spots like Elizabeth’s on 37th and Simple Soul Savannah. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System serves the area, with Beach High School, Brock Elementary, and DeReene Middle School being the primary public schools. Route 80 provides connectivity to Interstate 516 and Tybee Island, while the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is about 12 miles away. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, making it a practical choice for those seeking affordability and historical significance.
