Savannah is a popular city located in Georgia, known for its rich history, beautiful architecture, and charming Southern culture. It is a popular destination for tourists, but it is also a place where many people choose to live. In this particular place, there are various neighborhoods, each with its unique charm and character. To get a better understanding of what it's like to live in Savannah, let's take a look at some user reviews from BestPlaces.net.
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."
Overall, it seems that most people enjoy living in Savannah for its charm and sense of community, but there are some concerns about the cost of living, job market, and transportation. It is always helpful to read multiple reviews and gather different perspectives before making a decision about living in a new place.

Savannah's Economy - 12/19/2010
The economy in Savannah is about the same as the rest of the country. However, there are a few wealthy families that control this city and have not allowed Savannah to develop into a place that's vibrant and prosperous. It appears that Fortune 500 companies are not welcome in this city with exception of Gulf Stream Aerospace. I hope that at some point this will

Crime not so bad as folks say - 11/4/2010
Savannah's crime rate is actually about the same as other southern cities of similar size and lower than places like Charleton, SC and Knoxville, TN, just as examples. By far, the greatest number of crimes are property crimes rather than personal crimes, so don't be deterred. An awesome place to live with a relatively low cost of

High Crime - 6/28/2010
Very high crime in Savannah, Georgia. Tourists should be aware of their surroundings at all times even entering and leaving their hotel room!
This is a very poor city with more than 57% african americans. Most are living on section 8 with no income.
Homeless people come to Savannah to live since there are so many resources and handouts for them here.
Tourists beware of panhandlers, the city does not strictly enforce the law regarding them and they will bother you to no end!

My Heart Belongs to Savannah - 4/6/2010
I have lived in a lot of beautiful places, but I'll always come back to Savannah. I love the small-town feel, the beauty and history mixed with the edgy quirkiness that SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) has brought our city. I love sweet tea, the smell of the marsh, cobblestones, Tybee Beach, lazy rivers, fresh caught seafood, winding dirt roads, pine trees, even the heat!
I especially love the people and how this city is growing and changing, while always holding on to its rich

CONSIDERING A MOVE FROM SE FL TO SAVANNAH - 1/5/2010
Currently live in SE FL, and looking for a new environment. Have spent some time in the Savannah area and found it friendly, charming and beautiful ... it's very high on our short-list.
The downside ... the housing is considerably more costly for a whole lot less. Of course, the FL real estate market is currently very depressed. Can anyone address this concern for me?
Would like your general comments, opinion or observation on Savannah living. Good, Bad, or Ugly. Love the downtown resturants, bars and antiquity. Also love the laid-back feeling,the water and marsh of the Islands.
So far, we like the idea of living in a condo on Wilmington Island, or in the downtown Victorian District. Any input would be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks ~

What's education? - 7/29/2009
If you want great public schools, you're not going to get it here. I have lived on the outskirts of Savannah for 30 years and any local will tell you that the education system here is terrible! Anyone with the opportunity moves their children to private school or moves to a neirboring

Advice for visitors to Savannah - 7/18/2009
Savannah is beautiful and a great place to take long walks and tours....during the day. At night you better watch your back and stay in lit areas. The crime in Savannah is getting out of hand and I don't think tourists are prepared for it. Just stay aware of your surroundings and keep your doors locked when driving though certain
