Best Areas to Live In Savannah

Victory Heights Best Kept Secret

Victory Heights, named because of its location to one of the main arteries of Savannah; Victory Drive, is one of the best kept secrets of the midtown neighborhoods. The Victory Heights area established in the late 40’s and early 50’s is nestled between the Thunderbolt, Avondale, and nearby Gordonston neighborhoods, and backed by Bonaventure Rd/Cemetery.  With easy access to Victory Dr. the neighborhood is only about a 20 minute drive to Tybee Island. The quiet neighborhood would not reveal its close proximity to the Victory Square Shopping Center (Victory and Skidaway) which hosts Home Depot, Target, Staples a movieplex, and numerous places to eat. Around the corner from the square is the soon to be home of Pet Smart, and Whole Foods.

Historic Daffin Park A Short Jaunt Away

Another appealing feature of the Victory Heights neighborhood is its short 2 mile/10 minute drive to Daffin Park and Grayson Stadium. The second largest park in Savannah, Daffin Park was built as a formal Beaux-Arts style park, and is 80 acres in size. There is a community pool, tennis and basketball courts, multiple picnic areas, a huge soccer field with bleachers for several hundred people and a 1.5 mile walking/running track that create the boundaries of the park. But the most well-known feature of the park is the fountain that is always running. Right next to the park is Grayson Stadium which is home to Savannah’s triple A baseball team, The Sand Gnats.
