Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia and was the first state capital. The port city played an important role in the American Revolution and today serves as a key Atlantic seaport and industrial center.

One of the best things about renting an apartment in Savannah is feeling connected to its history. From sprawling mansions and park-like squares to historic churches and museums, living in Savannah is like going back in time.

When seeking apartments for rent in Savannah, top neighborhoods to consider include the Historic Downtown District, which includes stately old homes that are pricey but gorgeous. Even the downtown area offers a peaceful, suburban feel, with ancient oak trees and a mix of mansions and Craftsman-style bungalows. Families will enjoy Habersham Woods, an enclave of modern ranch houses in the heart of the city, with great schools and a surprisingly quiet vibe. If you want to be right on the waterfront, Isle of Hope is a beautiful, remote and unpretentious neighborhood with a small-community feel.

Savannah isn't close to another major city, so many residents both live and work here. The nearest employment hub is Hilton Head Island, a busy tourist destination. The 30-mile commute from Savannah to Hilton Head Island is along state routes (rather than interstate routes) and takes about 40 minutes without traffic. Savannah residents who need to commute farther out-of-town use I-95 and I-16.
