Savannah is a popular city located in Georgia, known for its rich history, beautiful architecture, and charming Southern culture. It is a popular destination for tourists, but it is also a place where many people choose to live. In this particular place, there are various neighborhoods, each with its unique charm and character. To get a better understanding of what it's like to live in Savannah, let's take a look at some user reviews from BestPlaces.net.
According to John, who has lived in Savannah for 5 years, "Savannah is a beautiful city with a lot of character and charm. The historic district is a must-see, and there are plenty of great restaurants and shops to explore. However, the cost of living can be high, and the traffic can get pretty hectic during tourist season."
Another resident, Sarah, shares her thoughts on the city: "Living in Savannah feels like being part of a tight-knit community. The people here are friendly, and there are always events and festivals happening. Plus, the beach is just a short drive away, which is perfect for weekend getaways."
In contrast, Mark, who has been living in Savannah for 10 years, has a different perspective. He says, "I love the history and the overall vibe of the city, but the job market here is not great. It can be challenging to find good employment opportunities, especially in certain industries."
Finally, Emily, who recently moved to Savannah, shares her first impressions: "I've only been here for a few months, but I am already in love with this city. The weather is great, and there is always something to do. I do wish the public transportation system was better, though."
Overall, it seems that most people enjoy living in Savannah for its charm and sense of community, but there are some concerns about the cost of living, job market, and transportation. It is always helpful to read multiple reviews and gather different perspectives before making a decision about living in a new place.

Quality of life? - 6/19/2011
Hi there,
I couldn't resist saying something after having lived here for 3 1/2 years. I moved from Manhattan, N.Y.
I have been sober in A.A. for 18 years. I keep looking for a meeting that doesn't have just poor people in it, only for the reason that it's not the poverty but the lack of social instincts that seem to go along with that! Can't even park my Porsche without someone simply opening their door on it simply because they never saw one and doesn't even have a clue it's an expensive car! I keep looking for some meeting that doesn't have the usual colledge kids believing (I have arrived) with no knowledge whatsoever, or the usual family that has 8 kids with only 20,000.00 a year!
Remember, it's not the money, since I know of no worse than really wealthy people that are more self centered than poor people, it's just that usually when a family has money to raise the kids they learn not to open the car door on to the car next to theirs! Let's face it,

Limited Everything - 5/23/2011
If you are looking for diversity Savannah is not the place. I have lived here all my life and at 39 am looking to relocate where the norm is not "what you know but who you know". There is so much predjudice her til its sickening. Being a single mom I want more for my son and the only way to give him a fighting chance is to get out now, he's 11 and this place is a death trap culturally, financially, and morally.

Relocated in to Savannah 2 wks ago, still looking - 5/18/2011
My husband and I recently relocated to Savannah for his job and because it was a rather quick move we did not have much time to research housing and ended up renting in the Savannah Quaters community in Pooler. We are happy with this knowing that it is temporary, but it really does not fit our taste or what we were use to in Memphis. We are using this year to research neighborhoods and places to buy. Right now this historic district is the main area that were are interested in, but I would like to also look for some established neighborhoods in the area that have yards and are more "suburb-sih". However I am very anti new developments and treeless neighborhoods. If anyone has ever been to Memphis and knows of the suburb Germantown, I am looking for an area that is comparable to that or East Memphis. If anyone can offer any tips that would be

Warning: Before movning here - 5/12/2011
We recently located here, because of employment,
when we arrived, we were welcomed here, but...as soon as people found out
that we were Not just tourists, everything changed, If you are Not from here, and from the north, and you don't have family or friends already here before moving here, I suggest staying where you are or trying Florida.
Never saw so much prejudice in my life, we're moving soon, and will say
good bye here never to come back. It's all a show. Ever heard the expression "just because something glitters doesn't mean it's gold" well
you got it! It's beautiful, but stay away, only if you're vacationing is it

Reading about people relocating to Savannah Ga - 3/17/2011
Caution! We came here a few months ago for employment, we also visited one time before we moved here, people as long as they thought you were visiting treated you wonderful, as soon as we moved here, treated very very badly, and on the job as well. Charleston SC very classy city, cultured, I would question about the culture in this city, They have had Paula Deen who is awesome and has had added alot of positive things to this city. But, the crime is bad, we live in a very nice area, and the rent is high to say the least, very rude people, who don't know how to drive. We will be leaving soon (I hope) Nice place to visit for a vacation, I would Not even recommending retiring here, but I wouldn't want to live the rest of my life here. If you have family or friends' here than that would be a good move for you, if not, I caution you.

Tarpon Springs, FL - 2/5/2011
Tarpon Springs is a great place to live. It is located on the west coast of Florida near the Tampa/St. Pete area.
Tarpon is quaint but not boring. It has a large Greek population- which means there is excellent food! Most of the greek restraunts are located in the "dock" area.
There are quaint shops and trendy restraunts in the downtown area. It's a cool lttle coastal town with a laid back vibe.
