Savannah

Savannah, GA · Pop. 147K

Coastal Georgia's historic district — walkable, leafy, and ocean-adjacent.

Savannah's historic district is one of the largest in the country — 22 oak-and-Spanish-moss squares laid out on a 1733 grid. Tybee Island beach is 20 minutes east, and the airport (SAV) makes family travel easy.

Halfback Tip

"The Landings on Skidaway Island is the gated retiree default — six golf courses, marina, full medical clinic on-site. Historic district is romantic but parking is genuinely painful."
