Sunset Park Homes for Sale

Savannah's Sunset Park suburb has a lush, almost tropical feel due to its oak trees draped in Spanish moss and roadside palmettos. Located west of Harry S. Truman Parkway, it sits between midtown Savannah and the city's outlying marshes. The neighborhood features single-family homes on modest lots, primarily ranch-style builds from the 1950s to the 1980s, with some newer infill developments. Sunset Park is within walking distance of a park and a high school, with Savannah State University to the south and Historic Savannah a short drive away. Daily shopping and dining are accessible via Skidaway Road, which leads to major commercial areas featuring grocery stores like Kroger and Whole Foods and big-box retailers such as The Home Depot and Target. Dining options, like Carey Hilliard’s Restaurant are close, too. Sunset Park, the outdoor space that shares a name with the neighborhood, is walkable for most locals. It offers a paved walking loop, basketball court, picnic areas and a playground. The neighborhood's Fernwood/Parkwood Walking Trail helps mitigate flooding through stormwater infrastructure. Nearby Thunderbolt provides access to the Wilmington River for fishing and boating, while Daffin Park offers extensive recreational facilities. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System serves the area, with Sol C. Johnson High School, which is in the neighborhood, offering an International Baccalaureate program. Savannah State University, Georgia’s first public historically Black college, is just south. The neighborhood is conveniently located about 5 miles from downtown Savannah, with easy access to major thoroughfares and public transit.
