The Islands
As part of the famous Low Country of Georgia and South Carolina, Savannah has an abundance of marsh-front and waterfront communities. Collectively they are known as The Islands. These include Whitemarsh, Wilmington, and Tybee Island. Like the rest of Savannah, the housing options are diverse and varied. Typical Low Country homes stand alongside 60s ranchers and contemporary homes. There are also a number of apartment complexes and gated communities available depending upon one's taste. The key to these locales is access to water. Marinas and docks abound and beaches are only minutes away.
Tybee Island is a funky time-warp of sorts that somehow blends surfer-chic with millionaire sensibilities and comes out making sense of it all. It is a summertime hot spot for locals and tourists, offering everything from tours of the lighthouse at Fort Screven to kite surfing on South Beach or kayaking at the Back River.
