According to John, who has lived in Savannah for 5 years, "Savannah is a beautiful city with a lot of character and charm. The historic district is a must-see, and there are plenty of great restaurants and shops to explore. However, the cost of living can be high, and the traffic can get pretty hectic during tourist season."
Another resident, Sarah, shares her thoughts on the city: "Living in Savannah feels like being part of a tight-knit community. The people here are friendly, and there are always events and festivals happening. Plus, the beach is just a short drive away, which is perfect for weekend getaways."
In contrast, Mark, who has been living in Savannah for 10 years, has a different perspective. He says, "I love the history and the overall vibe of the city, but the job market here is not great. It can be challenging to find good employment opportunities, especially in certain industries."
Finally, Emily, who recently moved to Savannah, shares her first impressions: "I've only been here for a few months, but I am already in love with this city. The weather is great, and there is always something to do. I do wish the public transportation system was better, though."

It is always helpful to read multiple reviews and gather different perspectives before making a decision about living in a new place.

No place for a white girl from the country to live - 5/13/2013
We moved here a mid 2012 and have been here 9 months. Crime is everywhere downtown, southside, midtown you name it. The historic areas are near the projects. You have to drive through the projects to get to anywhere. Time to move.

what happens to a city when the law becomes an ene - 1/6/2013
I am a student at savannah college of art and design, I moved to savannah from charlotte, nc a few years ago to pursue my dreams and attend college. Growing up I was raised right, educated well, and attended church weekly. When my boyfriend and I came down to savannah to visit we fell in love with the beauty of the city and its closeness to the beach, the city truely inspired me, but in my worst nightmares I never imagined what was in store for us when we started living in this city. the first thing I noticed was the overwhelming amount of public housing throughout the city not to mention the shocking amount of inhabitants there that recieve welfare, foodstamps and other government aid. It seemed at first that more people here lived off of government assistance than their own hard earned dollars. The next thing I noticed was how high the crime rate was everyday there were murders and robberies of people, gas stations, grocery stores, houses, ect. I lived a block or so from the

You could fry an egg!!! - 12/14/2012
If you are looking for a climate with four seasons stay away from here!! It is not only hot here, it's so humid that you can hardly stand it. The air is always moist so you have to be careful of mold growing on things. When the weather finally cools down it is still so humid that your bones hurt. You will be housebound here in the summer, which lasts a long

Savannah is a beautiful city that everyone should - 11/14/2012
Savannah is the most romantic city I have ever visited. I love the moss draped live oaks. It is beautiful to walk downtown anytime of year. I do hear the crime rate is high. I live 30 miles from Savannah in a town called Bluffton, SC. I love it in this area. Savannah is 30 miles from Hilton Head Island or Beaufort, SC. We have lived here 2 years and don't ever want to move.

Good to visit, bad to live - 4/20/2012
I am generally amazed at the seemingly uneducated populace commenting on Savannah's profile. I make this comment because no one can spell, and that alone gives the appearance of being uneducated. However, I can attest, after living here for two years, that Savannah and its surrounding 'burbs, are over-glorified. I was born and raised in Georgia, and I can tell you, 95% of Georgia is this way. I couldn't wait to leave Georgia back in the day, and I can't wait to leave it now, as an educated professional seeking better opportunities for my kids and family. If it weren't for SCAD, the entire downtown area of Savannah would be Ghetto-ville. There is a growing sub-community of gays and lesbians in Savannah 'enriching' the diversity, but overall, the SES of Savannah is VERY LOW and the poor population is reflected in the school systems and high unemployment rate. 'White flight' is alive and actively present, with only the upper crust living downtown and being able to afford private
