Historic Downtown District

This is the heart of Savannah, the 2.5-square-mile district of old homes and squares. Housing styles come in all flavors, from Federal to Italianate and Queen Anne. Prices run high here, because this is the Savannah everyone dreams about. The Mercer House, made famous in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, has listed at $9 million, but most homes in this stately district run from $100,000 to $500,000, depending on whether they have been restored to their original grandeur.

Flagship Address: West Jones Street

The Neighbors: Professors, artists, designers, innkeepers, students, CEOs, service industry professionals, out-of-towners in their second home

Also consider: Victorian District

This up-and-coming downtown neighborhood is a preservationist's wonderland, wooing creative types with the fortitude for an area in transition. Houses dolled up in gingerbread and sunburst gables and a walkable neighborhood close to downtown and Forsyth Park make the area desirable.

The Neighbors: Edgy urbanites, graphic designers and industrious couples in starter homes.
