I’m moving to Savannah in a few months and I am beyond excited! Ive always wanted to live there and decided to go ahead and take the leap! I’ve lived in areas in the south with humidity, heat and gigantic bugs but the beauty and history and location make it all worth it ❤️
I visited Savannah last May after visiting New Orleans, LA. I have to confess Savannah is a lot more classier than NOLA. Savannah is a strong #2 as a place to relocate to. New Bern, NC is my #1 a lot of similarities between the two towns.
Georgia Coast Homes by Karin Carr you need to take a long weekend visit to New Bern, NC. I might need to keep you as a reference when I am ready to relocate nex time.
@@DarkWoodElf63213 Wow! The two places that you mentioned are the two places that my wife and I were looking to move to. I just got hired by a company in Savannah and we're moving at the end of Jan. We are really excited to be leaving CT behind.
Georgia Coast Homes by Karin Carr great content and I'm definitely inspired by you! How do you add in the suggested custom links? Link to other videos? Is that in the backend of youtube?
Thanks Anant! Yes, they’re called cards and you do that when you upload the video. If you’re interested in learning how to do all this check out www.youtubeforagents.com.
Been here a few years, a few additions: crime, especially near downtown can be bad; pulp mill smell is unavoidable at times, and sadly no dogs on Tybee Beach. Pluses, FABULOUS food, great diversity of music, friendly people, everyone has frizzy hair and wrinkled linen in the summer.
Have found my place to live and to marry Savannah,Georgia. Thx for all the details. This is the channel everyone should subscribe if you’re interested in learning about Savannah
Actually, I decided to just embrace the curl. I went heat free about six months ago - no flat irons or straightening. It’s so much healthier now! Still poofs out with humidity but it’s improving.
This lady was balanced. Apparently very knowledgeable. I like that a lot. We are considering moving from Atlanta. Coco Beach is an option and Savannah is on the list. We will have to give her a call when we go searching down there. Very well done video!
Please do! Thanks so much, I'm glad it was helpful. I do love it here but it's not 100% perfect, just like anywhere. I like letting people know what to expect when coming here from out of the area.
Harry Moore I had so many agents asking me more about how to get clients from there RUclips channel that I created a course. If you go to www.RUclipsforagents.com it’s got all of the information there.
@@georgiacoasthomes the food will be different for sure. But the flooding compared to what we always experience and the thunder storms and its mortality? Hahaha savannah i may say has the mildest of the mild level. And yeah i will, ill be working there..thank you for your response..
When you have a Hurricane Warning you have to evacuate your house for the next few days or weeks. Please follow the Meteorologists in Savannah Georgia if they said you evacuate get out now at least 3 days out.
i realize im almost a year late on subscribing, but my family and I are very hopeful to be moving to Savannah in 4 years. Were originally from Tennessee but the military had other ideas. We miss the south so much.
I love it too! Going to pig out on she crab stew this weekend and it was 80 degrees out yesterday. Who needs blizzards when you have sunshine and seafood?
This is awsome thank u. Looking at homes there to move too. I'm little bummed about the bugs.... I can handle the heat n humidity but flying roaches omg I just dnt knw if that will keep me from going. So from southern California to the south but I do enjoy the beautiful architecture, the mossy trees, affordable living and slower living [ being raised n cali life is always go go go] that's not me....n all seasons. Just reasons why I am looking in Savannah Ga.
Hallo i actually live in georgia and always have but I live near Atlanta. my family n I visited savannah when I was younger and i fell in love honestly. I love the city's vibe, architecture, and I'm very big on seafood and fishing. I honestly despise Atlanta and plan on moving to Savannah soon
Every year we vacation in Hilton Head. I like to play golf and use the Golf Now App for good deals. Last year I got a good deal on a round in Savannah. It was a little farther away than I would usually go but thought "Hey, I'll get to add a GA logo ball to my collection". I went across that bridge into the city and felt like I was launching into space, LOL. I took a picture but unfortunately the camera on my phone doesn't do it justice. I saw very little of your city, but I got the impression it's an historic place. Alas I still did not get to see an alligator. We have vacationed the area for 22 years now, and zero alligators. We hear the stories but I tell my wife and girls that they must be a myth like Sasquatch. I played a round one year at Hilton Head Lakes with two gentlemen from Savannah the year they built it. My ball landed in a wooded area and they said if I went in there after it I may not come out. But they seriously seemed more worried about spiders than alligators.
Great video! I am looking to move out of Massachusetts soon. I become a shut in for nine months out of the year because of the weather. I love summer and sun and we don’t get a whole lot of it here 😞 I have been looking at Savannah because it seems to hit a lot of areas on my wishlist (not crazy about bugs, though, lol). I just don’t know the ease of getting a job there. If nothing else, I hope to visit soon 😊
Thanks Tonya! Yeah, I am so over shoveling snow. The bugs aren't that bad honestly. We have a termite company spray every 90 days and we don't get any bugs at my house. Come visit! 😁
It’s great here! Good schools and living on the islands near savannah is really great. Lots of welcoming communities. The bugs have been worse but they’ve started spraying in helicopters for the gnats and now it’s much better.
Thanks Vanessa! I wish it were a bit less humid in the summer but other than that, I just love it. We had low country boil on Christmas day and ate outside. It was 76 degrees yesterday!
Great video, I am considering transferring to Pooler, GA via my FedEx Ground job and I live in my RV aka Camper full time. How are the RV Parks in or near that area?
My husband and I want to do that someday! We used to have a motorhome and thought it sounded like fun to travel the country, staying at each place for a couple of months, and then moving along. Unfortunately we sold it before we moved to Savannah so I haven't stayed at any of these, but the ones I know of are the one on Tybee Island (too far to drive to Pooler everyday IMHO) and one along I-95 in the Richmond Hill area that looks very nice. There's also a KOA that looks good. Good luck to you!
Georgia Coast Homes by Karin Carr not for me but for some people yes. You can’t drive anywhere without hitting ocean. But when I get there next year I hope you could be my realtor
Palmetto bugs come in looking for water. Gnats can’t stand skin so soft. I was born in savannah Georgia and only until last year moved to Missouri. I’d never live in savannah. But it’s a beautiful city full of historical values. Why doesn’t anyone mention the pirates house? Tybee beach isn’t what it used to be when I was a kid, but still love it. Seafood is awesome in savannah Georgia.
I love Savannah. But I do believe if Oglethorpe had arrived here in August instead of February there would have been no colony. He'd have said this place is too hot, let the Spanish have it, I'm going back to England.
Hahaha, I bet you’re right! Although right now it’s pretty cold. We’re down on River St. waiting for the boat parade to start and ready to go buy gloves!
What would you suggest for someone moving there who needs to rent at first and doesn't have a friend to stay with at first? I thought about airbnb until I find an apartment but I have two dogs. I don't feel comfortable committing to an apartment from out of state until I've seen it and I live on the other side of the country. I'm looking to transfer there through my job.
Blujonny11 There are a few apartment complexes in Pooler that are dog friendly that I know of. I’d be happy to go take a 360 video of the apartment for you. Email me at karin@georgiacoasthomes.com and I’ll explain what we can do for you.
I’m from Pennsylvania and live in California. I left because of the weather in the winter and the mosquitoes in the summer... I didn’t think Nats it but I just googled it and it turns out there are some that do. That sounds horrendous. It may seem like a very “small” reason to care about living someplace but I get eaten alive and I can’t stand bug bites alll summer
That's a loaded question @Sean Grady. I guess it depends on what is most important to you - ocean views, good schools, best bang for your buck, close to shopping... I'd be happy to give you more info if you want to email me at karin@georgiacoasthomes.com.
I’m deciding between Houston and Savannah! Studying to be a clinical psychologist, looking like they both have plenty of opportunities for my boyfriend and I. Any recommendations?
I haven't been to Houston (other than the airport) so I can't really comment on the difference, but Savannah has plenty of jobs in the medical field. We have three large hospitals in the city of Savannah, a VA med center, a military hospital at Ft. Stewart, plus all the individual medical facilities and private practices. I'm sure Houston does too. But we have the beach and seafood. Just sayin... 🤣
Karin Carr thank you for your response! I plan on visiting next year, do you recommend going in January or March if there’s really any preference...also, how often do you find that the houses in Savannah are haunted? They seem to be really into that stuff down there so I’m just curious haha!
@@hannahchristine5675 Absolutely, I'm happy to answer your questions! March will be much nicer weather BUT St. Patrick's Day is huge here, so avoid that or book your hotel NOW. I'm not kidding, you will not find a hotel room here if you don't book that far in advance. As for haunted houses, I'm a skeptic so I've never visited a house that I thought was haunted. But there are others who swear they have. I guess it all depends on whether you're a believer or not.
I'm about to put in an offer in the town of Townsend, Ga on the water. What are some things I should be asking my Realtor? And do you have any info on the area? Thanks love your videos
I’m afraid Townsend’s out of my area so no videos, but how exciting! Best of luck with your offer. I’d ask whether you need flood insurance and then call your insurance agent to see how much it will cost.
G’Afternoon ☀️☺️ I live in the Midwest, but I’m considering the move down there. I’ll need some help closer to the time! -Really the biggest thing that stuck out were the big bugs, may I get the pest control that works really well for you down there to keep them out! Thanks so much!!!❤️
We would love to help you when the time comes! And yes, any pest control company will come and spray every 2 to 3 months so that you won’t have to worry about it.
I lived in Pittsburgh in the early 80's but I'm sure it's changed a ton since then. That was back in the Mean Joe Green / Terry Bradshaw days. Man, I'm old! There are tons of jobs here, kind of depends on what line of work you're in.
Hi Karin, Thank you so much for all your content, it has been really helpful since I start looking for moving to Savannah with my family. We are from Brasil , and I`m plaining to study at SCAD next year... So definitively it will be a huge change for all of us. And to be honest, It s been really hard to find some good recommendations about good places to live. I know that you must have something better to do than talk to this crazy dude here. But It would be awesome if you could help me with this. Which neighborhood should I pick, considering the following scenario: 1 - Schools // I have a 4 years old daughter and a 2 years old son. 2 - Violence // I heard in other youtube channel about savannah is not the safest place on the earth ( who I`m to talk about violence, I`m from São Paulo) Anyway, would be good be in the safest areas 3 - Close SCAD campus Thank you so much Felipe
Hi Felipe! Bryan County (Richmond Hill) and Effingham County (Guyton and Rincon) are known for their good schools, and the schools on the east side of Savannah on the islands are as well. As for violence, it's a city and any city has crime. The worst I've personally experienced was someone breaking into cars in our neighborhood. As for being close to SCAD, I'd say the Victorian district or Midtown or even the Southside would be closest,. I'd be happy to go into more detail if you need more advice. Just email me at karin@georgiacoasthomes.com.
Hey can you tell me more about Richmond hill area. Im leaving northern nj heading down. Thought about statesboro as well. Advise. Is there flooding in your area?
Hi Kelvin. Richmond Hill is close to the water so there are some areas that will require flood insurance. It’s on a house by house basis. I used to live in Verona as a kid. What area are you in?
Good day. Im in Essex co. Im looking to relocate to the Savannah area or Jacksonville area real soon. Could advise n your opinion about the two? Thx love your videos!!!
how expensive is to living there? like arround how much would you expend if you are just starting living there. getting an appartament for rent near to the hotels arround savannah river, etc. thank you for your videos
It all depends on the location and size, but I’d plan on a minimum of $900/mo unless you get a roommate and share a place. Check out apartments.com to get ideas.
Legally I can't tell you where to live and where NOT to live, but if you're looking at homes online and want to use the crime rate map to then look up an address, you'll start to see patterns and then you can make your own decisions. Here's a good web site for that. www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/savannah/crime
The hot weather in the summer thing killed me! I live in Northern California 90 is spring weather here, so that had me cry laughing. But other than that I really appreciated the video. I do worry about humidity, California is a very dry heat. Thats why everything is always on fire here.
Dana Wilkerson We moved here from Fairfield in Solano County. Yes, I do not miss the wildfires. It sounds like the wineries and vineyards were really affected a couple years ago. 😢 The humidity is no joke but I’ve gotten used to it now.
@@georgiacoasthomes They really were. I live about 6 miles from the edge of where the Camp Fire was and I got to say I can learn to live with humidity if it means never having to get that close to a wildfire again.
@@georgiacoasthomes Would you happen to know if Savannah is more hot and muggy than Atlanta? And would you happen to know if it’s almost 9-10 months out of the year? Or more like the 3 month summer weather?
@Carmen Jason, thanks! Like any city, it has its good points and bad points. Here's a great resource you can check out: www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/savannah/crime
Want to move to Savannah area with property. Presently in Colorado on 35 acres. Winters are getting to us. Is there an area outside Savannah region with some land for privacy (not 35)
Yes, absolutely! Look at Effingham County, specifically Rincon, Guyton, and Springfield. You could also look in Bloomingdale, Pembroke, and Ellabell. Email us if you need help. karin@georgiacoasthomes.com.
Well done video! I am considering a move to Savannah but hear disconcerting anecdotes about the crime which appears to be supported by crime statistics. How would you address this concern?
Thanks Michael! I feel like Savannah is the same as any other city - certain areas have higher crime rates than others. It all depends on where you want to be. I live in the suburbs about half an hour from downtown and I feel like my area is very safe. Unfortunately I can't really tell you which areas to look in because that's considered steering and I don't want to violate the Fair Housing Act.
The vast majority of violent crimes occur after midnight and away from the tourist areas. Break ins and thefts do occur at a rate commensurate with other areas. I always feel safe downtown and in my neighborhood (about 20 miles south of downtown). Of course I'm rarely downtown after midnight, because nothing good happens after midnight.
Bryan County and Effingham County are very popular for public schools (Richmond Hill, Guyton, Rincon) as well as the schools on the islands in Chatham County. There are also some great private schools too. I’d recommend going on Greatschools.org and searching there.
@@dexternyikayaramba7498 I like it here a lot. The traffic is so much less than other cities, we're near the beach, great restaurants, and it's driving distance to Orlando, Atlanta, Charleston, and other cities. The downside is it's hot and humid in the summer, rent costs are high, and we are sometimes in the path of a hurricane. Not often but it happens.
@@georgiacoasthomes rent is high really thought I was moving to a cheaper to live place. I'm moving in late July so probably il need some tips on where to move. And how to get roomates
@@georgiacoasthomes hi so I'm looking to find accommodation in Savannah. Il be working in the historic district. Since I have no car. Which areas would be okay to stay in where i can still experience Savannah closely, safe place, maybe you can say fun and accessible area. And would just find roomates
Hey Karin, do you help with renting apartments? I recently got a job in Savannah GA but I live in Jamaica so I will have to relocate. I need a little help.
Here's a link to the census bureau web site that has demographic information, but I think we do the census again this year, don't we? So this could change once new stats are gathered. www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/savannahcitygeorgia/PST045218
fun fact - in 1958 two Air Force jets collided near Savannah Georgia and a nuclear bomb was jettisoned into the waters near Tybee Island and after an extensive search it was never found.
I live in Savannah. They say its cooler in Pooler, Better in Metter, and Savannah Stinks! Savannah does smell bad, for multiple reasons(swamp land mostly). The outskirted areas Im not sure about, since ive never been, but this is what a lot of locals say, so if your nose gets offended easily, i wouldnt settle here.
@@KarinCarr I so forgot that one!😂 working in the historic district I find that it is smelly often... mostly due to to the horse-drawn carriages. Savannah is absolutely beautiful and I have moved away and come back several times. Ppl tend to fall in love with Savannah's Charm. I know I did!😃
@@luv_sylph_pixie1176 Ok, horse poop is always going to be stinky. Forgot about the horse drawn carriages. But they're so charming I'll cut them some slack. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you're unhappy in a city, you're unhappy anywhere. Try living in the rural areas of Ohio and tell me you're satisfied with nothing to do and corn fields as far as the eye can see, with the worst heroin problem in the country at Hamilton and Butler counties. How would you feel about New York? Los Angeles? Miami? I love watching people moan about any place, no matter what the upside, they focus on the downside. And they move somewhere else and hate there too. No surprise. Work on yourself and maybe you'll be happy somewhere. Because no matter where you go, there you are.
Fun Video. I really hope they aren't Tearing down all the monuments and squares and such.. The history all be it not perfect helped make the place so interesting.. Otherwise great video today
Thanks for watching and for your comments. : ) . Yes, those trees with the Spanish moss are my absolute favorite! We have one in our front yard and I could stare at it all day.
Christopher Graves Underclass? Well, West Savannah is primarily where the so called underclass live. You should consider that most of the underclass ancestors built Savannah so have some respect. Savannah would be a nothing country swamp without the underclass.
I bring up Hilton Head cause i lived through the Yankee in invasion ha haha.. And i kept a second home there while i lived in the ATL for work,career move. Hilton Head is not a small quite p!acs any lo ger,either.. Savannah is also losing g that feel... Charleston has been ruined flr 15 solid year's nlw,maybe more....
christ in sarasota fl july aug sept.. 95 degrees.. dont come here.. 103 with humidity added.. no see ums are mites , they come out near beaches in morning and at dusk...
Savannah is beautiful but it's so many homeless people 😭😭😭 the rent is to high and they pay enough to have a place to live. Jesus help the homeless people 😭😭😭 I love the beach 🏖️ Remember it's homeless people all over the world 🌍. I hope the homeless people gets a place to live here in Savannah you need to make 3times the tent. Every body don't make that amount. Have a beautiful blessed day 🙏 every one. Jesus is coming back be ready Church
Austin Cole I am not a hot weather worshipper. I pretty much whine from June to September but luckily there’s a neighborhood pool 10 houses down from us. So every day after work we hit the pool all summer long.
David Welsh What gave it away, my thick southern accent? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m a transplant, moved here when my parents retired here because it was warm, beautiful, and inexpensive.

Is flooding a frequent issue, as from thunderstorms, or mainly during hurricanes or tropical storms?

@@georgiacoasthomes So true!
Palmetto bugs come in looking for water. Gnats can’t stand skin so soft. I was born in savannah Georgia and only until last year moved to Missouri. I’d never live in savannah. But it’s a beautiful city full of historical values. Why doesn’t anyone mention the pirates house? Tybee beach isn’t what it used to be when I was a kid, but still love it. Seafood is awesome in savannah Georgia.
I live in Ohio I need a big change I clean houses and do catering bartending I'm thinking Tybee might b a good place for me and my Furbaby to move too
I love Savannah. But I do believe if Oglethorpe had arrived here in August instead of February there would have been no colony. He'd have said this place is too hot, let the Spanish have it, I'm going back to England.
Hahaha, I bet you’re right! Although right now it’s pretty cold. We’re down on River St. waiting for the boat parade to start and ready to go buy gloves!
Great job karin! I like this video :)
Your hair looks great!
What would you suggest for someone moving there who needs to rent at first and doesn't have a friend to stay with at first? I thought about airbnb until I find an apartment but I have two dogs. I don't feel comfortable committing to an apartment from out of state until I've seen it and I live on the other side of the country. I'm looking to transfer there through my job.
Blujonny11 There are a few apartment complexes in Pooler that are dog friendly that I know of. I’d be happy to go take a 360 video of the apartment for you. Email me at karin@georgiacoasthomes.com and I’ll explain what we can do for you.
I’m from Pennsylvania and live in California. I left because of the weather in the winter and the mosquitoes in the summer... I didn’t think Nats it but I just googled it and it turns out there are some that do. That sounds horrendous. It may seem like a very “small” reason to care about living someplace but I get eaten alive and I can’t stand bug bites alll summer
Thank you so much . What would you say the best part of the city to buy a house in is? Thanks?
That's a loaded question @Sean Grady. I guess it depends on what is most important to you - ocean views, good schools, best bang for your buck, close to shopping... I'd be happy to give you more info if you want to email me at karin@georgiacoasthomes.com.
I’m deciding between Houston and Savannah! Studying to be a clinical psychologist, looking like they both have plenty of opportunities for my boyfriend and I. Any recommendations?
I haven't been to Houston (other than the airport) so I can't really comment on the difference, but Savannah has plenty of jobs in the medical field. We have three large hospitals in the city of Savannah, a VA med center, a military hospital at Ft. Stewart, plus all the individual medical facilities and private practices. I'm sure Houston does too. But we have the beach and seafood. Just sayin... 🤣
Karin Carr thank you for your response! I plan on visiting next year, do you recommend going in January or March if there’s really any preference...also, how often do you find that the houses in Savannah are haunted? They seem to be really into that stuff down there so I’m just curious haha!
@@hannahchristine5675 Absolutely, I'm happy to answer your questions! March will be much nicer weather BUT St. Patrick's Day is huge here, so avoid that or book your hotel NOW. I'm not kidding, you will not find a hotel room here if you don't book that far in advance. As for haunted houses, I'm a skeptic so I've never visited a house that I thought was haunted. But there are others who swear they have. I guess it all depends on whether you're a believer or not.
I enjoyed this video...thank you for the great tips❤️❤️ new subbie here
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it and I definitely appreciate your subscribing.
I'm about to put in an offer in the town of Townsend, Ga on the water. What are some things I should be asking my Realtor? And do you have any info on the area? Thanks love your videos
I’m afraid Townsend’s out of my area so no videos, but how exciting! Best of luck with your offer. I’d ask whether you need flood insurance and then call your insurance agent to see how much it will cost.
@@georgiacoasthomes 🙂👍🏼👍🏼😒
Hi Karen! I really like you, you seem so down to earth. I'm thinking of moving to Savannah so I'll check out what you have available :-)
G’Afternoon ☀️☺️ I live in the Midwest, but I’m considering the move down there. I’ll need some help closer to the time! -Really the biggest thing that stuck out were the big bugs,
may I get the pest control that works really well for you down there to keep them out!
Thanks so much!!!❤️
We would love to help you when the time comes! And yes, any pest control company will come and spray every 2 to 3 months so that you won’t have to worry about it.
Sounds Great😸🎉
Glad you think so!
Is there enough to do if u don't just do downtown activities? That downtown seems so small and tight. Is it a problem for some people?
Im creative and looking for a fun city. I want to move from Pittsburgh, do you think it would be a bad move? are there lots of opportunity there?
I lived in Pittsburgh in the early 80's but I'm sure it's changed a ton since then. That was back in the Mean Joe Green / Terry Bradshaw days. Man, I'm old! There are tons of jobs here, kind of depends on what line of work you're in.
Hi Karin,
Thank you so much for all your content, it has been really helpful since I start looking for moving to Savannah with my family.
We are from Brasil , and I`m plaining to study at SCAD next year... So definitively it will be a huge change for all of us.
And to be honest, It s been really hard to find some good recommendations about good places to live.
I know that you must have something better to do than talk to this crazy dude here. But It would be awesome if you could help me with this.
Which neighborhood should I pick, considering the following scenario:
1 - Schools // I have a 4 years old daughter and a 2 years old son.
2 - Violence // I heard in other youtube channel about savannah is not the safest place on the earth ( who I`m to talk about violence, I`m from São Paulo) Anyway, would be good be in the safest areas
3 - Close SCAD campus
Thank you so much
Felipe
Hi Felipe! Bryan County (Richmond Hill) and Effingham County (Guyton and Rincon) are known for their good schools, and the schools on the east side of Savannah on the islands are as well. As for violence, it's a city and any city has crime. The worst I've personally experienced was someone breaking into cars in our neighborhood. As for being close to SCAD, I'd say the Victorian district or Midtown or even the Southside would be closest,. I'd be happy to go into more detail if you need more advice. Just email me at karin@georgiacoasthomes.com.
Is using the VA loan very easy in Savannah
It's easy everywhere! As long as you have decent credit (not perfect, but not terrible either) and don't have too much debt, it's not hard at all.
Hey can you tell me more about Richmond hill area. Im leaving northern nj heading down. Thought about statesboro as well. Advise. Is there flooding in your area?
Hi Kelvin. Richmond Hill is close to the water so there are some areas that will require flood insurance. It’s on a house by house basis. I used to live in Verona as a kid. What area are you in?
Good day. Im in Essex co. Im looking to relocate to the Savannah area or Jacksonville area real soon. Could advise n your opinion about the two? Thx love your videos!!!
Great video! I would love to consult with you about buying a property there.
Ad D we would be happy to y’all to you about your plans anytime! Karin@georgiacoasthomes.com
how expensive is to living there? like arround how much would you expend if you are just starting living there. getting an appartament for rent near to the hotels arround savannah river, etc. thank you for your videos
It all depends on the location and size, but I’d plan on a minimum of $900/mo unless you get a roommate and share a place. Check out apartments.com to get ideas.
@@georgiacoasthomes thank you so much fornyour time i really appreciate it
Sounds good.
Thanks Nathaniel! We're back in the humid season now. Sigh...
Wait, Savannah is on par with Columbus on humidity? Not as bad as I thought it would be down there
What are the areas to stay away from? Home buying wise, looking to buy and move within a year. Thx
Legally I can't tell you where to live and where NOT to live, but if you're looking at homes online and want to use the crime rate map to then look up an address, you'll start to see patterns and then you can make your own decisions. Here's a good web site for that. www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/savannah/crime
The hot weather in the summer thing killed me! I live in Northern California 90 is spring weather here, so that had me cry laughing. But other than that I really appreciated the video. I do worry about humidity, California is a very dry heat. Thats why everything is always on fire here.
Dana Wilkerson We moved here from Fairfield in Solano County. Yes, I do not miss the wildfires. It sounds like the wineries and vineyards were really affected a couple years ago. 😢 The humidity is no joke but I’ve gotten used to it now.
@@georgiacoasthomes They really were. I live about 6 miles from the edge of where the Camp Fire was and I got to say I can learn to live with humidity if it means never having to get that close to a wildfire again.
@@georgiacoasthomes Would you happen to know if Savannah is more hot and muggy than Atlanta? And would you happen to know if it’s almost 9-10 months out of the year? Or more like the 3 month summer weather?
Great video and very informative
Bonaventure Cemetery Journeys thanks so much and thanks for watching!
Is it safe? Great video.
@Carmen Jason, thanks! Like any city, it has its good points and bad points. Here's a great resource you can check out: www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/savannah/crime
like she said lol leave your stuff on the beach and go grab lunch! come back and your stuff will still be there
Want to move to Savannah area with property. Presently in Colorado on 35 acres. Winters are getting to us. Is there an area outside Savannah region with some land for privacy (not 35)
Yes, absolutely! Look at Effingham County, specifically Rincon, Guyton, and Springfield. You could also look in Bloomingdale, Pembroke, and Ellabell. Email us if you need help. karin@georgiacoasthomes.com.
LOVE IT>>> My goal
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
You forgot to mention that running A/C all the time will certainly raise your electric bill. And be ready for the "shock".
You should really of focused on reasons exclusive to savannah. Bugs. Heat and humidy are in florida. Texas. Georgia. Louisiana. The list goes on
I used to get Roseann Rosannadana hair but I cut it short. Even in Phoenix, I would get that.
Wow, even with no humidity? You feel my pain then! 😂
Well done video! I am considering a move to Savannah but hear disconcerting anecdotes about the crime which appears to be supported by crime statistics. How would you address this concern?
Thanks Michael! I feel like Savannah is the same as any other city - certain areas have higher crime rates than others. It all depends on where you want to be. I live in the suburbs about half an hour from downtown and I feel like my area is very safe. Unfortunately I can't really tell you which areas to look in because that's considered steering and I don't want to violate the Fair Housing Act.
Michael...I've been referring to this map www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/savannah/crime
The vast majority of violent crimes occur after midnight and away from the tourist areas. Break ins and thefts do occur at a rate commensurate with other areas.
I always feel safe downtown and in my neighborhood (about 20 miles south of downtown). Of course I'm rarely downtown after midnight, because nothing good happens after midnight.
I feel the same way.
@@brentingram423thanks
I love your hair. :)
Aw, thanks John.
What about the public school systems? What’s the best system or would you recommend private?
Bryan County and Effingham County are very popular for public schools (Richmond Hill, Guyton, Rincon) as well as the schools on the islands in Chatham County. There are also some great private schools too. I’d recommend going on Greatschools.org and searching there.
Thank you!!
How much does a house cost
Totally depends on size and area, of course, but the median house price here is less than $250,000.
❤❤❤
Thanks for the video. I jumped the gun and decided to move to Savannah by june for work. You confirmed the bugs, but i think i'll cope. xoxo
At least they’re just ugly and not poisonous, right? 🤣
How is your experience in savannah. Im moving there late July. Please share the realities too
@@dexternyikayaramba7498 I like it here a lot. The traffic is so much less than other cities, we're near the beach, great restaurants, and it's driving distance to Orlando, Atlanta, Charleston, and other cities. The downside is it's hot and humid in the summer, rent costs are high, and we are sometimes in the path of a hurricane. Not often but it happens.
@@georgiacoasthomes rent is high really thought I was moving to a cheaper to live place. I'm moving in late July so probably il need some tips on where to move. And how to get roomates
@@georgiacoasthomes hi so I'm looking to find accommodation in Savannah. Il be working in the historic district. Since I have no car. Which areas would be okay to stay in where i can still experience Savannah closely, safe place, maybe you can say fun and accessible area. And would just find roomates
I love hearing about what you think is affordable. lol
Hey Karin, do you help with renting apartments? I recently got a job in Savannah GA but I live in Jamaica so I will have to relocate. I need a little help.
I might move there from Cali and I’m just gonna say it’s way hotter here
Which part of California? You might have heat but we have heat and humidity! 🤣
@@georgiacoasthomes 😁👍🏼
Is Savannah very diverse? They have alot of Hispanics?
Here's a link to the census bureau web site that has demographic information, but I think we do the census again this year, don't we? So this could change once new stats are gathered.
www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/savannahcitygeorgia/PST045218
About to move as soon as possible there can you be my realtor.. this is 100% legitimate!! Help !!! Xoxo
You’re so kind, we would love to assist you!
Georgia Coast Homes by Karin Carr how can I contact you ?
fun fact - in 1958 two Air Force jets collided near Savannah Georgia and a nuclear bomb was jettisoned into the waters near Tybee Island and after an extensive search it was never found.
Hydrogen. And it's basically harmless.
I have a 4 year-old... any good Christian schools? And how are the hospitals? Thanks 😀
I live in Savannah. They say its cooler in Pooler, Better in Metter, and Savannah Stinks! Savannah does smell bad, for multiple reasons(swamp land mostly). The outskirted areas Im not sure about, since ive never been, but this is what a lot of locals say, so if your nose gets offended easily, i wouldnt settle here.
Don’t forget, we’re drinkin’ in Rincon! 😂 The only time I’ve ever thought it was stinky was passing the paper mill in Port Wentworth.
@@KarinCarr I so forgot that one!😂 working in the historic district I find that it is smelly often... mostly due to to the horse-drawn carriages. Savannah is absolutely beautiful and I have moved away and come back several times. Ppl tend to fall in love with Savannah's Charm. I know I did!😃
@@luv_sylph_pixie1176 Ok, horse poop is always going to be stinky. Forgot about the horse drawn carriages. But they're so charming I'll cut them some slack. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you're unhappy in a city, you're unhappy anywhere. Try living in the rural areas of Ohio and tell me you're satisfied with nothing to do and corn fields as far as the eye can see, with the worst heroin problem in the country at Hamilton and Butler counties. How would you feel about New York? Los Angeles? Miami? I love watching people moan about any place, no matter what the upside, they focus on the downside. And they move somewhere else and hate there too. No surprise. Work on yourself and maybe you'll be happy somewhere. Because no matter where you go, there you are.
Fun Video. I really hope they aren't Tearing down all the monuments and squares and such.. The history all be it not perfect helped make the place so interesting.. Otherwise great video today
the music's too loud
Sorry about that. Unfortunately I can't change it once it's been uploaded. I wish there were a way to do that! 🤔
Yeah..right, for your next video then x) and savannah looks gorgeous with those old trees *.*!
Thanks for watching and for your comments. : ) . Yes, those trees with the Spanish moss are my absolute favorite! We have one in our front yard and I could stare at it all day.
Wow *.* I bet :)
INSANELY HOT
88 Degrees with humidity. lol
Come to vegas where it's 115 all, fucking, summer.
is it possible for a single man to live out there working security?
Crime apparently is a horrible problem in Savannah. The underclass is in among the nicer areas.
Christopher Graves
Underclass? Well, West Savannah is primarily where the so called underclass live. You should consider that most of the underclass ancestors built Savannah so have some respect. Savannah would be a nothing country swamp without the underclass.
Underclass? What you wrote IS the typical problem with the world. YOU think you are better than everyone.
@@chocolatewoman926 That bish wrote underclass. The nerve.
@@royedwards51 Well, there are classes of people. Some people are more prone to committing violent crimes. Is that not true?
Rosanna Rosanna Rosanna Danna...lol
Watch Comedian Dennis Clark Jr next on RUclips then share with your Social media Family 😂
I bring up Hilton Head cause i lived through the Yankee in invasion ha haha.. And i kept a second home there while i lived in the ATL for work,career move. Hilton Head is not a small quite p!acs any lo ger,either.. Savannah is also losing g that feel... Charleston has been ruined flr 15 solid year's nlw,maybe more....
Esther Watson ARE YOU DRUNK?
Savannah Georgia is hot and muggy 9-10 months out of the year.
Falcon Trek but it’s worth it
christ in sarasota fl july aug sept.. 95 degrees.. dont come here.. 103 with humidity added.. no see ums are mites , they come out near beaches in morning and at dusk...
Savannah is beautiful but it's so many homeless people 😭😭😭 the rent is to high and they pay enough to have a place to live. Jesus help the homeless people 😭😭😭 I love the beach 🏖️ Remember it's homeless people all over the world 🌍. I hope the homeless people gets a place to live here in Savannah you need to make 3times the tent. Every body don't make that amount. Have a beautiful blessed day 🙏 every one. Jesus is coming back be ready Church
Correction some jobs don't pay enough to make 3 times the rent in Savannah
Inflation is killing us nationwide. I hope we see a change soon.
You live in Georgia.. enjoy the heat.😂
Austin Cole I am not a hot weather worshipper. I pretty much whine from June to September but luckily there’s a neighborhood pool 10 houses down from us. So every day after work we hit the pool all summer long.
@@KarinCarr 🙂👌🏼👍🏼😊
I would move there if it wasn’t for the mosquitoes
I don't believe you're from Georgia.
David Welsh What gave it away, my thick southern accent? 🤣🤣🤣 I’m a transplant, moved here when my parents retired here because it was warm, beautiful, and inexpensive.
Leave your political bias wherever you're moving from.
Just spray poison all over everything once a month..yea no.
