Hi-

I'm new to the site but I'm hoping that someone can & will offer me some assistance.

I am seriously considering relocating to Savannah. I currently live in Detroit and I'm definitely tired of big city living and all its drama.

I have family in other cities around Georgia but for some reason I am feeling Savannah, Ga. I've been doing some internet research and a lot of my questions have been answered this way.

I'm hoping someone can tell me the safest areas in Savannah to rent an apartment or buy a home.

I'll appreciate any and all responses to my inquiry.

Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to give me some insight.

P.S. I'm thinking of visiting Savannah sometime this summer to get a personal feel for the city. What's a nice hotel to check into?

I lived around Savannah....currently live in Ohio....but am moving back soon...I lived in an area called Sandfly....it is right outside of Savannah....there is a place called Isle of Hope a mile from Sandfly....and it literally has those beautiful white picket fence historic homes there ( but pricey)....and if you have kids there is a really great school in Isle of Hope....
when I lived there everything was not far away....the Church I worked at was less than a 5 minute drive and I could walk 1\2 a mile to the park.....I was less than 1\10 of a mile from the grocery store, daycare, and some restaraunts....and all this was 20 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from the beach....

and downtown Savannah has tons of historic places to visit....and fine dining (Lady and Sons....Paula Deen's restaraunt is just one of the many great ones there)

the people are friendly there....there is not the racial tension like you see up north....everyone is laid back...and the job market is great there.....

...but I would advise to stay out of the city itself because there usually is some crime that goes on around town and the S.C.A.D. area (Savannah College of Art and Design)....great to visit in the day or at night with some friends, though...

believe me you won't miss the north once you get there....that's why I am planning to move back there and will most likely live the rest of my life there....
