A transitional neighborhood of historic homes conveniently located near downtown
Anchored by historic architecture, Eastside is a small transitional neighborhood conveniently nestled into the communities near downtown Savannah. “Downtown Savannah is growing every day, and the areas around it have become a lot more desirable,” says Alisa Cogman, a Realtor with Keller Williams Coastal’s Sweet Home Savannah team. “Eastside is a traditional Victorian neighborhood that has seen a lot of turnover in recent years with people coming in, buying up homes and refurbishing them.” Residents enjoy proximity not only to downtown and the riverfront, but also Savannah’s historic district and one of the city’s main thoroughfares. They also enjoy amenities closer to home. A middle school, park and popular community center are located in the neighborhood.
Victorian architecture defines the notable housing
The Victorian influence is prominent among the neighborhood’s collection of established homes, the oldest of which dates to the turn of the 20th century. In fact, one of Cogman’s recent listings is a stick Victorian originally built in 1900. Common in the neighborhood, these residences attract investors looking to rent them out but also make for appealing single-family homes. “It’s ideal for Savannah College of Art & Design students, young professionals or even someone who wants a home of their own,” says Cogman. “Who wouldn’t want to live in a Victorian district?” Victorian-influenced bungalows and traditional Craftsman bungalows highlight the smaller homes, which also include cozy cottage-style and shotgun-style homes. Renovations are common among housing typically priced between the low $300,000s and high $500,000s. “You’ve got a lot of homes that are over 100 years old, and most are going to need some work,” says Cogman. “But people want to be close to downtown, so when you’re buying here, you’re paying not only for a home, but for the lifestyle and the experience of downtown.”
Many Eastside homes have been renovated or newly constructed to match the surrounding homes.

Residents of Eastside enjoy easy access to the rest of Savannah with the nearby Truman Parkway.
Truman Parkway takes you "wherever you want to go"
Quick and easy access to Truman Parkway, one of the city’s main thoroughfares, is high on the list of conveniences enjoyed by residents of Eastside. “The neighborhood’s beauty is in its proximity,” says David Mesaros, a Realtor with Keller Williams Coastal. “You’re close to downtown, and you can be on Truman Parkway in a minute or two. Once you’re on that, you can go to the river or get to the south side within 10 minutes. When people say centrally located, this is it. Truman Parkway will take you wherever you want to go in the city.”
