Historic District
Savannah's downtown core — 22 surviving Oglethorpe squares, brick rowhouses, and the most walkable address in the city.
Living in Historic District
Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, the Historic District is the cultural heart of Savannah: 22 surviving squares laid out under the 1733 Oglethorpe Plan, surrounded by one of the most intact concentrations of 18th and 19th-century architecture in the United States. Living here means morning coffee on Forsyth Park, walks past gas-lit lanes, and being within steps of River Street, SCAD, and the Telfair museums.
Rentals lean toward restored historic homes, carriage houses, and converted apartments — most with heart-pine floors, fireplaces, and high ceilings. Street parking is tight, but residential permits are available and most errands are walkable.
