About
Coastal Georgia consists of sandy beaches, tidal salt marshes, lagoons, and cool ocean breezes—all of which can be found in The Islands. These aren’t islands in the traditional sense, but a collection of barrier islands that are connected to the coastline and formed by tidal action.
Suburbs of Savannah, The Islands are sought-after by military members stationed at Hunter Army Airfield (AAF) who are wishing to live the “salt-life.” Flip flops and beachwear can be seen practically year round here, most notably on Tybee Island. Whitemarsh and Wilmington Islands are more suburban, but you can still enjoy the salt marshes and lagoons.
This location lives up to expectations and will satisfy all who are looking for that coveted Army assignment where you can finally live at the beach. The schools here are desirable and there is a great YMCA. So dust off that surfboard!
Neighbors
Most of The Island’s residents are locals but the closer you get to Tybee Island, the more likely you are to run into tourists. There is a growing military presence, but most of your neighbors will be upper middle-class suburbanites who commute into Savannah for work.
Neighborhood Feel
Homes in The Islands range from oceanfront condos and beach bungalows to single family homes in golf communities. This community has a laid-back beachy vibe and provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of Savannah.
