About the area
Why buyers are drawn to Skidaway Island
Skidaway Island is one of the most desirable places to live in the Savannah area, and the reasons are easy to see.
The biggest draw is the lifestyle. Skidaway Island is an affluent residential island just southeast of Savannah, reached by the Diamond Causeway, with mature live oaks, tidal marsh, and deepwater frontage. Most of the island is The Landings, one of the Southeast's premier private gated communities, built around multiple championship golf courses, marinas, tennis and pickleball, walking and biking trails, and clubs. It is the kind of amenity-rich, resort-style setting that draws retirees, golfers, boaters, and families who want a gated and active community close to the city.
Then there is the setting and the access. The island is also home to Skidaway Island State Park and the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, with its Marine Education Center and Aquarium, so nature and the water are part of daily life. At the same time, you are only about 20 to 25 minutes from downtown Savannah and convenient to Southside shopping and medical care, so you get a quiet island feel without giving up the city.
Homes cover a wide range. You will find villas and condominiums, golf-course homes, and large custom and deepwater homes, much of it inside The Landings, so condos and villas tend to be more accessible while custom and deepwater homes reach well into seven figures. Because this is a coastal island, parts of it fall in FEMA flood zones and flood insurance may be required, so checking the flood map, elevation, and any club membership details for a specific property matters. Ask ARC for today's numbers and the details on the home you are considering.
