Why Live in Parkside
Parkside, an established Midtown Savannah neighborhood, is known for its historic architecture and Southern charm. The area features a variety of home styles, including Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, Cape Cods, minimal traditional homes, and mid-sized ranch-style homes. The neighborhood is anchored by Daffin Park, a historic green space designed by John Nolen, which offers amenities such as a dog park, swimming pool, tennis courts, and Grayson Stadium, home to the Savannah Bananas. The park also hosts events like charity runs and rugby tournaments, making it a hub of activity. Parkside is safer than the national average, contributing to its appeal. For families, highly rated schools include Jacob G. Smith Elementary, Savannah Arts Academy, and Jenkins High. The neighborhood is conveniently located near a commercial center with stores like Target, Home Depot, and Whole Foods, and is just under 2 miles from the Starland District, known for its vibrant dining scene and attractions like Starland Yard and Two Tides Brewing Co. Victory Drive, running along the northern edge of Parkside, connects to the Truman Parkway and Islands Expressway, providing easy access to downtown Savannah and Tybee Island. Public transportation is available via Chatham Area Transit bus stops along Waters Avenue.
