Gordonston is one of Savannah's quiet hidden gems, and the reasons are easy to see.
The biggest draw is the setting. Gordonston was planned in the 1920s by the Gordon family, the family of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, as a garden neighborhood built around a central private park. The streets are lined with mature oaks and Spanish moss, and the homes, mostly brick cottages, Tudor-style houses, and traditional homes, sit on large, established lots. The result is a calm, tree-shaded, tight-knit community feel that is unusual this close to downtown.
Then there is location and value. Gordonston sits just northeast of the Historic District, near Pratt Park and Daffin Park, so you are minutes from downtown Savannah with an easy route east toward the islands and Tybee. It tends to offer more space and bigger lots than many in-town neighborhoods, often at better value. As a mid-range in-town market, prices vary with lot size and condition, commonly running from roughly the low $300,000s into the $500,000s and higher for larger or renovated homes. Ask ARC for today's numbers on the specific block or home you are considering.
A few details deserve real attention before you buy. Gordonston is an older neighborhood, so home condition and renovation history vary widely from one house to the next, flood risk varies by block and is worth checking on the FEMA flood map, and school zones are assigned by the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System. None of these are dealbreakers, but they are exactly the details a local guide helps you check.
