About the area
Why buyers are drawn to Whitemarsh Island
Whitemarsh Island is one of the most convenient places to live on Savannah's eastside, and the reasons are easy to see.
The biggest draw is convenience. Whitemarsh Island is a popular residential island just east of Savannah, sitting along the US-80 corridor between the city and the barrier islands toward Tybee. It serves as the shopping and services hub for the eastern islands, so grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday retail are concentrated right here. That means you can handle most of daily life close to home while still enjoying a quieter, coastal-suburban pace, the kind of setting that draws families, professionals, and anyone who wants the islands' lifestyle without giving up everyday practicality.
Then there is the setting and the access. The island has marsh views and water-access options, and it is close to parks, waterways, and marinas, so coastal recreation is part of daily life. At the same time, you are only about 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Savannah and a short, easy drive from Tybee Island's beaches, with Wilmington Island and the rest of the eastside communities right next door. You get an island feel and a quick run to both the city and the coast.
Homes cover a wide range. The island developed gradually over time, so you will find established family neighborhoods with a mix of ranch and two-story homes, a variety of architectural styles and ages, plus some marsh-front and water-access properties. On the whole Whitemarsh Island tends to be more attainable than gated Skidaway Island, with interior homes more accessible while marsh-front and water-access homes command a premium. Because this is a coastal island, much of the area falls in FEMA flood zones and flood insurance is commonly required, so checking the flood map and elevation for a specific property matters. Ask ARC for today's numbers and the details on the home you are considering.
