About Savannah
Highlands
Savannah Highlands, located between I-95 and the Ogeechee River corridor, is a suburban and master-planned Savannah neighborhood with wooded buffers and golf-course greens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Savannah Highlands clubhouse and the fairways of Savannah Highlands Golf Club, where carts, practice greens, and porch seating set the tempo. Streetscapes lean toward newer, low-slung homes with broad driveways and tidy lawns, framed by pines and pocket ponds. Daily routines orbit tee times, walking loops, and quiet cul-de-sacs rather than storefront blocks. For a local night out, nearby staples like Moon River Brewing Company, The Grey, and Leopold’s Ice Cream tie the area back to Savannah’s culinary scene.
