Community Profile: Historic Downtown Savannah

Savannah's founder, General James Oglethorpe, had already planned the layout of Downtown Savannah when he arrived here in 1733. His progressive ideology involved an interactive mix of architecture and green space with the intent of blending peoples from all walks of life.

Per his plans, Historic Downtown Savannah is a blend of stately homes and townhouses along with a stock of commercial spaces all centered around the original squares. The famous squares of downtown Savannah are lush green spaces shaded by magnificent live oaks dripping Spanish moss. Benches set beneath the trees allow visitors and residents alike to witness the blur of activity. From horse drawn carriage tours to darting bicycle messengers modern day Downtown Savannah is a unique microcosm that serves to confirm its founder's original intent as a vibrant urban melting pot.

Perhaps ironically, Georgia's First City is also home to the most cutting-edge art school in America, Savannah College of Art and Design. It has called downtown Savannah home for 30 years and has grown in prestige from oddball upstart status to international acclaim, all along keeping its feet firmly planted in the heart of the city.

Retail Establishments Increasing Property Values

Does the arrival of retail establishments increase property prices within that same area? Of course chic, boutique- and bistro-filled neighborhoods have higher property values than less-vibrant areas. But what about large national retail stores? There is one particular company that has a proven track record of revitalizing neighborhoods and jump starting development:  Whole Foods Market. A Whole Foods Market will open its first store in Savannah on Aug. 13, more than a year ahead of schedule. Atlanta-based developers Knightswood and S.J. Collins Enterprises demolished Backus’ trademark pink buildings on Victory Dr. and several neighboring structures to construct the Victory Station shopping center. Whole Foods is the anchor to the center which will also have a PetSmart , and a handful of small retailers.

Increasing The Value of Property

Whole Foods. Across the country, the healthy food retailer, is widely credited with reinvigorating formally undesirable neighborhoods, creating demand for housing and bringing in customers to adjacent businesses. While most evidence is anecdotal, all accounts indicate that the arrival of a Whole Foods is a sure sign that a neighborhood is about to turn around, or increase the value of the already well established neighborhoods. This “seal of approval” quality is Whole Foods’ Midas touch, potential gentrifiers see it as something tangible that certifies a neighborhood as a quality buy. And not just residents; businesses too, look to Whole Foods as a disciplined pioneer that does its homework.  Its most basic criterion is reportedly 200,000 people, a good portion of them college educated, living within a 20-minute drive. Shortly after the announcement of the arrival of the food retailer, Chick-filet, and a Zaxbys constructed and opened their doors within ½ mile of Whole Foods. Perhaps they heard the food retailer was coming to town.

The Whole Foods Effect

Communities such as East Liberty in Pittsburgh, Logan Circle in Washington, DC and Uptown New Orleans all experienced development booms following the arrival of Whole Foods. The Austin, Texas-based food retailer has made a science of putting down roots in urban locations at what often seems to be just the right moment. The company is so good at the real-estate game that it has spawned a catchphrase, ‘the Whole Foods Effect’. A report in 2007 by a Portland-based firm showed that the presence of a specialty food retailer (i.e. not a typical grocer) increases home prices by anywhere from 6% to 29%. An exhaustive 2007 study by Johnson Reid quantified the effects that individual urban amenities have on home prices. Using hedonic modeling, it found that a specialty grocer will increase surrounding home prices by an average of 17.5 percent, more than bookstores, bike shops or gyms (with the caveat, of course, that this varies greatly depending on the situation — in the instances studied, the increases ranged widely from 6 to 29 percent).

Now Could Be The Time To Buy

View Larger Map

'The Whole Foods Effect' isn't caused by the store itself, it’s caused by the events it sets into motion. And one thing Whole Foods does is stay open later than a lot of the other shops around it, laying the groundwork for expanding the length of that neighborhood’s day. Greg Badishkanian, an analyst with Citigroup who tracks Whole Foods, said in a 2006 NPR story, "When Whole Foods opens up a store in a particular market, all of the real estate in the area gets a nice uplift. It could be a few percent to 10, 15, 20 percent in terms of the real estate value." So if you are an investor or looking to buy a new home, perhaps now is the time to look in Parkside, Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent, or the Victory Heights area. It looks like the home prices in these neighborhoods are going to increase if ‘the Whole Foods effect’ theory holds up.

The neighborhood borders Victory drive, a main artery through Savannah that goes out to Tybee Island. North of Chatham Crescent, on the other side of Victory Drive is Baldwin Park which was originally the northern portion of Chatham Crescent. Baldwin Park is a narrow strip running from Waters Ave. to 40th, and then to Price. At the northeast corner of Baldwin Park (Waters & Victory) is Savannah’s Beaux-Arts styled Daffin Park. Bordering the southern side of the park is the nationally registered historic Parkside neighborhood, literally named because the community borders Daffin Park. Parkside is lined with majestic oak trees draped with Spanish moss and large sidewalks offering a short walk to Daffin Park.

Historic Savannah Beautiful City for Visiting or Living

Savannah  is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a wonderful place to make your home or vacation destination. The city was founded in 1733 by General James Oglethorpe and served as the first capital of the Georgia colony and state. The enduring charm of the city is visible in historic downtown with its Spanish moss-covered live oaks lining the streets and horse drawn carriages carrying tourists around some of the 22 beautifully maintained historic squares. Savannah's Historic District is a National Historic Landmark, so there are an abundance of historic buildings. Notable buildings include the Owens-Thomas House built in 1818 (Oglethorpe square) the Spencer Woodbridge House built in 1795 (Habersham Street), and the 1853

Gothic Revival Greene House (Madison Square), and the Drayton House the city's first restored historic building. Along the cobblestone paved River Street along side the Savannah River, musicians, galleries, and shops compete for attention, while iron bridges and the old Cotton Exchange attract visitors to Factor’s Walk. The art scene flourishes, thanks in part to the Savannah College of Art & Design, which is sprawled throughout the city.

Historic Squares

One of the biggest attractions of living or visiting downtown Savannah are it's beautiful squares and parks. Each square has been named after notable military men, or leaders in the native american community. The city of Savannah maintains the squares on a daily basis making sure they are clean, fountains flowing and shrubs and flowers kept healthy. You can download a walking tour of the squares at https://www.citywalkingguide.com/squaresofsavannah  Forsyth Park, Savannah's version of Central Park, is the largest park in the city and has a small cafe, playground, tennis courts, and an amphitheater where nearly every weekend there is an activity happening during the summer months. Bordering the park are numerous beautifully restored historic 18th and 19th century architecture Victorian homes. The beautiful Victorian manor like homes boast wrap around porches, wrought iron fences stately entrances, and mature fauna. Currently there are over 30 homes for sale in downtown Savannah, where walking to your favorite restaurant is a delight!

Victorian Historic District

The Southern half of the park is surrounded by the Savannah Victorian Historic District, which runs from the south side of Gwinnett Street to Anderson Street, bordered by MLK and Broad Street to the west and east, respectively. South of the Victorian District is the Thomas Square Historic District; a much larger district which also includes Victorian-era homes and is thus sometimes also erroneously included when people speak generically about the "Victorian District." The Victorian District and Thomas Square District have become popular in recent years as an alternative to the more expensive Landmark Historic District directly to the north.

Best Walking Neighborhoods

Different from the Downtown Historic District with it's squares, the streets of the Victorian district were arranged on a grid pattern with a green planting area between the sidewalk and street and a small garden in front of each house. The old frame construction abounds in the Victorian District, sturdy wood frame houses dating from the 1870s and 1880s are a mixture of several Victorian styles of architecture embellished with ornate brackets and cornices. The Victorian District is one of Savannah's best walking neighborhoods and is ranked "Very Walkable" by WalkScore.com.

Savannah's Beautiful Baldwin Park Neighborhood

Baldwin Park was originally developed as part of the Chatham Crescent along with Ardsley Park. With the creation of Victory Drive in 1919 the Chatham Crescent was divided and the North end became what is today known as Baldwin Park. The area remains unique because of its “City Beautiful” Beaux Arts inspired design of curvilinear streets, roundabouts, and parks-one of the few examples that exist in Georgia.

Nestled into the Southeast of Savannah’s Victorian District,  Baldwin Park hosts a variety of architectural styles-from Victorian homes and mansions along Victory Drive to modest bungalows and ranchs - each has great character and charm. At the center of this neighborhood is its namesake, a circular park that is the ideal setting for walking, picnics, and recreation. To the South of the park is the center of Chatham Crescent, a picturesquely lined promenade with palmetto trees which crosses Victory Drive, passes through Hedeman Park and terminates at the Savannah Arts Academy on Washington Avenue.

Baldwin Park has a vibrant community network, largely thanks to the Baldwin Park Neighborhood Association- one of the city’s oldest and best organized neighborhood groups. It is a community perfect for those who like to know their neighbors, with block parties, yard sales, even an outdoor movie night that make this area the gem of Midtown Savannah. The residents are diverse in age, occupation, race, and income adding to the richness and character of the highly desirable neighborhood.

Great neighbors aside, the outstanding location is in close proximity to the best of Savannah. Downtown and Forsyth Park are less than two miles away.  The Habersham Antique Market, Green Truck burger joint and Al Salaam Middle Eastern deli are located right in Baldwin Park. Red-hot Habersham Village and its restaurants, bars and shops is an easy walk or bike ride away. Daffin Park abuts the Baldwin Park neighborhood and is home to Grayson Stadium as well as ball fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool and more. The much-anticipated Whole Foods market will be less than a mile away and the teeming Victory/Skidaway corridor-just over a mile away-offers a vast array of diversions including Home Depot, Target, Starbuck’s, Victory Cinema, Piggly Wiggly to name just a few.

Baldwin Park remains on the “Best of Savannah” lists in all local publications for a very good reason. It is truly one of the best areas to be found in historic Savannah. Beautiful homes and streetscapes, diverse and interesting neighbors, regular neighborhood events, super-convenient location and true a “Savannah” feel add up to “Best Of..” on all accounts.
