Keep in mind, many apartment complex like to add other fees to the rate (concierge trash service, internet/cable, etc) that are a requirement to pay.
Don't forget parking fee's.

That $8,000 rental has two balconies and two bedrooms & two bathrooms

I went back for more pricing info on The Guild (Courier Square). Saw where parking is not included in the rental rates so add $150/month/unassigned space to monthly expense if parking is needed. Things really start to add up when you start adding one-time and recurring expenses for pets.

That was sarcasm, right?

I can imagine what the occupancy rate will be. 70%?

Question about all the new Hotels.......

We were Downtown over the weekend, and the number of Tower Cranes was astounding. How many new Hotels are going up near the Interstate ?? Is that supposed to be the new Tourist Zone ??

If that is the new Zone....they really ought to straighten out the roads in that section. The thing I noticed about Savannah right away -- they have a "gateway" into their city that makes it easy to get into town. Our town has 4 or 5 exits all tangled up in back streets, random Stop signs and one-way streets. Get us off the Highway, Get onto East Bay Street or Rutledge Avenue and get us into easy Parking on the East side or West side of town.

And spend a little money on Street Lights......it's like the dark side of the moon trying to get out of town at night.

I believe those cranes are for the new apartment buildings going up along the upper Meeting St corridor, not for new hotels, although the new (Aloft) hotel will be underway soon in that area.


Totally agree about the lack of street lights. Terrible.

Savannah is realatively small and the highway runs across the back of downtown. Charleston plowed the highway through the middle of it so all the exits dump you off onto 19th century roads.

This whole place could use some street lights. James Island requires high beams to drive through. None of 526 in Mount Pleasant is lit which is odd for a populated metro area. Mathis Ferry is pitch black at night.

Oh yeah street lights. Worst place coming into downtown at night is pass the car wash on SC 61.
If I were not a local I'd be very lost. Signs are small and vague and absolutely 'no' lights, and lots of oaks to make it even darker. The approach into town via both Ashley River brides are dim, yet the bridge it self is well lite. That alone makes it hard to see because your eyes need to adjust very quickly.
But all over this town lights are needed. As an example, Cantrell Blvd. from SC 61 to Bees Ferry there is not one street light. A length of about three miles, but when you get to Bees Ferry it looks like day.
