Southside Savannah
Southside Savannah offers one of the city's broadest selections of established homes, newer communities, townhomes and coastal properties—all within convenient reach of shopping, healthcare, higher education and major employment centers. Centered around the Abercorn Street corridor and the 31406 and 31419 areas, Southside remains popular with buyers seeking Savannah homes for sale with convenient access to Midtown, Downtown, the Islands and greater Chatham County.
One of the area's greatest advantages is Truman Parkway, providing a convenient north-south connection toward Midtown and Downtown Savannah and access east toward the Islands through Victory Drive and U.S. 80.
The Southside Savannah Lifestyle
Southside combines suburban convenience with Savannah's established neighborhood character. The Abercorn corridor provides shopping, restaurants, professional services and everyday necessities, while Georgia Southern University's Armstrong Campus, St. Joseph's Hospital and nearby Hunter Army Airfield contribute to the area's strong healthcare, education and employment presence. Armstrong is also home to the Savannah campus of Augusta University's Medical College of Georgia, established in 2024.
Residents enjoy easy access to Lake Mayer, a 75-acre community park offering walking and jogging, fishing, pickleball, tennis, playgrounds and other recreation. Farther south, Coffee Bluff provides access to the Forest River and Savannah's boating and coastal lifestyle.
Southside Savannah Real Estate
The Southside Savannah real estate market offers considerable variety—from mid-century brick ranch homes and renovated single-family residences to townhomes, newer construction and waterfront or marsh-oriented properties.
Established areas such as Windsor Forest, White Bluff, Wilshire Estates and the Coffee Bluff/Rose Dhu area appeal to buyers who value mature trees, established streets and homes with character, while newer 31419 communities provide modern floor plans and neighborhood amenities.
Newer Homes & Communities
Sweetwater Station continues to offer new-home opportunities in Southside Savannah, with lakes, trails and convenient access to shopping and entertainment. The broader 31419 market also includes active new construction in The Cove at Bradley Point South, offering cottage-style and single-family options.
These communities expand the choices available to buyers searching for new construction in Southside Savannah while remaining within the city and convenient to established commercial and employment corridors.
Growth & What's Coming to Southside
Southside is entering a new period of public and private investment. In July 2026, the City broke ground on the $9.8 million Windsor Forest Community Center, which will include a full-size gymnasium, fitness and multipurpose spaces and areas for community programs and events.
The City is also planning improvements to the Abercorn Street/Savannah Mall corridor. Current concepts envision transforming the underused mall area over time into a more walkable, mixed-use district with housing, businesses, parks, biking connections and public amenities, alongside future Abercorn streetscape improvements. These plans remain in the planning and implementation process rather than representing a completed private development.
Transportation and recreation connectivity are also expanding through Tide to Town, Savannah's planned citywide network of protected walking and biking trails. Design work is underway for the Middleground Road segment, with a planned connection from the Abercorn area toward Montgomery Cross Road and Lake Mayer.
The area's healthcare and education corridor is growing as well. Augusta University broke ground in 2026 on a new Dental College of Georgia Savannah campus at Georgia Southern's Armstrong Campus, scheduled to open in summer 2028.
Why Buyers Choose Southside Savannah
Southside is especially attractive to buyers who value:
- Easy access to Downtown, Midtown and the Savannah Islands via Truman Parkway
- Convenient access to Hunter Army Airfield for active-duty or retired Veterans preparing for a PCS move or post-service relocation
- Established neighborhoods with mature trees and larger homesites
- New-construction opportunities within Savannah
- Proximity to healthcare and higher education
- Shopping, restaurants and everyday services along the Abercorn corridor
- Lake Mayer, Coffee Bluff and outdoor recreation
- Townhomes and lower-maintenance housing options

This range makes Southside appealing to first-time and move-up buyers, professionals, military relocations, healthcare and university employees, downsizing homeowners and buyers relocating to Savannah who want a central location with multiple housing options.
Opportunities for Southside Savannah Sellers
For homeowners considering a move, Southside's greatest strength is its established housing inventory in a highly connected Savannah location.
Well-positioned resale homes can compete effectively with new construction by emphasizing features such as renovated kitchens and baths, mature landscaping, larger lots, garages and workshops, fenced yards, pools, outdoor living areas and immediate move-in availability. Properties near Truman Parkway, Armstrong, St. Joseph's, Lake Mayer or coastal waterways can also benefit from marketing that clearly communicates location and lifestyle.
As infrastructure, healthcare and redevelopment investment continues on the Southside, sellers have an opportunity to market not only their home, but also the convenience and future potential of the surrounding community.
