Georgetown, GA Homes for Sale: A Savannah-Area Community in Chatham County

First, the disambiguation, because this name collides constantly. The Georgetown here is in Chatham County, Georgia, southwest of Savannah around King George Boulevard. Not Georgetown, South Carolina. Not Washington's Georgetown. Not the small city of the same name out in Quitman County. Ours is an unincorporated community the Census Bureau tracks as Georgetown CDP, with about 11,158 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 five-year estimates). Addresses read "Savannah," but this sits outside city limits, and that shows up on your tax bill and at the permit desk.

Housing and the local market

Georgetown is late-1990s suburban with more variety than the name suggests. The median build year is 1997, and of roughly 5,251 housing units about 58% are single-family detached, 7% attached townhome-style, and close to a third multifamily (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020-2024 estimates). That release put the median home value at $274,900 and median gross rent at $1,529.

The tenure split is the number we'd study: roughly 55% owner-occupied to 45% renter, a much heavier rental share than the towns across I-95. Military rotations and Savannah's job market keep Georgetown a turnover market, and that cuts both ways. Resale takes a sharper price than in Richmond Hill or Pooler, but a PCS-driven exit is more workable when there's real rental demand behind you.

For a fresher read, Zillow's home value index for ZIP 31419, which covers Georgetown, sat near $310,400 in July 2026, down about 2.3% from a year earlier (Zillow Research, data through July 2026). Two caveats: that's ZIP-level rather than Georgetown-specific, and a value index isn't a median sale price.

Location and commutes

The commute is why most of our clients land here. About 72% of working residents reach the job in under 30 minutes, and roughly 56% fall in the 15-to-24-minute band (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020-2024 estimates). Downtown Savannah is about 14 miles northeast, Pooler and the airport about 14 miles north, and Richmond Hill roughly 9 miles southwest across the Ogeechee.

For service members, Hunter Army Airfield is the close one, generally 15 to 25 minutes depending on gate and hour. Fort Stewart's main gates are roughly 35 miles west. The two installations employ more than 25,500 people between them, per the U.S. Army. Inbound on orders? Our Fort Stewart PCS home buying guide lays out the timeline, and the VA and PCS center collects the rest.

Schools serving Georgetown

Georgetown is served by the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, the county's only public district. The neighborhood campus is Georgetown K-8 School at 1516 King George Blvd., which is operating and posting a 2026-27 academic calendar. High school students attend district high schools by assignment. Chatham is a large district with magnet and choice programs, and zone lines move as enrollment shifts. Treat any school claim in a listing as unverified until you confirm the assignment with the district.

What's nearby day to day

Everyday retail concentrates along King George Boulevard and the U.S. 17 and Georgia 204 corridors, so groceries, pharmacies, fuel, and casual dining are a short drive rather than a trip into the city. Savannah's hospitals sit northeast; Richmond Hill's shopping and I-95 access sit southwest. For water, the Kings Ferry ramp on U.S. 17 is about ten minutes out, a Chatham County facility with a paved ramp and courtesy dock (Georgia Department of Natural Resources). What you won't get is walkability, and there's little new construction left to buy here.

Who Georgetown suits

Georgetown fits buyers who want a short, predictable commute and a mainstream suburban house without the Pooler or Richmond Hill premium, and it's a practical base for anyone assigned to Hunter Army Airfield. It's a weaker fit if you want a new build, a large lot, or walkable historic-district living. Compare it against our other coastal Georgia communities, then reach out and we'll pull comps for the addresses you're watching.
