Savannah & Hunter Army Airfield Homes for Sale

Savannah anchors this whole region, and Hunter Army Airfield sits inside the city itself in Chatham County. That combination gives this market the widest range of housing anywhere in the corridor. In one afternoon you can tour a nineteenth-century rowhouse a block off a park square, a 1960s ranch in midtown, and a new build on the southside. Nowhere else in coastal Georgia offers that kind of spread, which is a gift if you know what you want and a problem if you don't.

What the Savannah housing market looks like

As of July 2026, Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Savannah home at $325,155, down 2.8% from a year earlier. That's an index of typical value across the market, not a median sale price, and in a city this varied it flattens out an enormous amount of range. A restored historic-district property and a starter home on the southside both sit inside that one number, and they are not the same purchase.

What that means practically: in Savannah, the figure that matters is the one for your specific block, not the citywide average. We pull comps by neighborhood before we talk price on any address.

Hunter Army Airfield and the commute

Hunter Army Airfield being inside the city is unusual, and it's convenient. From a lot of Savannah neighborhoods the gate run is an ordinary city drive rather than a highway trip. Hunter is home to the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade and hosts tenant units including the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and Coast Guard Air Station Savannah (Military.com base guide, 2026). Fort Stewart sits about 41 miles southwest (Military OneSource), so anyone splitting time between the two installations should drive that route before picking a neighborhood. Our Fort Stewart and Hunter PCS home buying guide walks through how we work that decision.

Schools in Savannah

Savannah and Hunter Army Airfield are served by the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, which runs zoned neighborhood schools alongside specialty and choice programs that students apply to separately. Zoning and program eligibility are two different questions, and neither is obvious from an address, so confirm both before you write an offer. Students arriving on military orders are also covered by the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, which eases records transfers and course placement between states.

What's around town

The Historic Landmark District is the headline, laid out around 23 park squares with museums, monuments, restored eighteenth- and nineteenth-century homes, and a dense restaurant scene (Visit Savannah, 2026). Forsyth Park anchors its south end. Between the riverfront, the beach at Tybee Island a half-hour east, and the marsh and creek systems in every direction, this is more of a water town than most people expect. If the historic core isn't your speed, Pooler on the west side trades character for newer construction.

Who Savannah suits

Buyers who want architecture, walkability, and a short run to the gate at Hunter. Anyone whose work sits downtown, on the river, or at the port. Service members at Hunter who'd rather live in the city than drive in from a suburb. It's a harder fit if you want a large, uniform, new-construction subdivision, or if you need the region's lowest entry price, which is Hinesville.

David is a retired Army staff sergeant, and roughly nine in ten of our closings are VA purchases. If you're using your benefit, our step-by-step Georgia VA loan guide lays out the order of operations, and the VA and PCS center handles the move itself. Get in touch and we'll narrow this down to the two or three neighborhoods that actually fit.
