Parkside has stayed one of Midtown Savannah's most wanted neighborhoods, and the reasons are easy to see.
Part of the draw is the architecture. The blocks around Daffin Park showcase early-to-mid 1900s building styles that are hard to find new: deep-porch Craftsman bungalows with exposed rafters and built-ins, Spanish and Mediterranean revival homes with stucco walls, arched windows, and clay-tile roofs, and solid brick Tudors with steep gables and arched entries. Many have been carefully renovated inside while keeping their period character on the street, which is exactly what keeps demand for Parkside homes strong.
The biggest draw is the park itself. Daffin Park is a large, historic city park with walking paths, a lake, tennis courts, a pool, sports fields, and historic Grayson Stadium, home of the wildly popular Savannah Bananas baseball team. Parkside wraps right around it, so for many neighbors the park is a daily part of life.
Then there are the homes. Parkside is prized for tree-lined streets and classic early-to-mid-20th-century bungalows and cottages, many with original details like hardwood floors, fireplaces, and front porches. You'll find a mix of beautifully restored homes and some with renovation potential. Prices are a mid-range in-town Savannah market that varies by block and condition, commonly from roughly the low $300,000s into the $500,000s and higher for larger or fully renovated homes. Ask ARC for today's numbers on the street you're considering.
Location seals it. From Parkside you are a few minutes to the Historic District and Forsyth Park, close to Habersham Village shops, Ardsley Park, and the Bull Street corridor, with easy access via Victory Drive and Skidaway Road. It is a genuine balance of in-town living, walkable green space, and classic Savannah character.

What does it cost to buy a home near Daffin Park and Parkside?
Prices near Daffin Park and Parkside vary widely with the home's era, lot, and condition. Restored Craftsman bungalows and larger Spanish or Mediterranean revival homes on the park-facing blocks command a premium, while smaller cottages and homes needing updates sit lower. Because inventory in this part of Midtown Savannah is limited and well loved, well-priced listings move quickly, so it helps to have financing ready and a local agent watching new listings daily.
What kinds of homes will I find in the Daffin Park and Parkside area?
The Daffin Park and Parkside streets are known for early to mid 1900s architecture: classic Craftsman bungalows with deep front porches, Spanish and Mediterranean revival homes with stucco and clay-tile roofs, and brick Tudors with steep gables and arched doorways. Lots tend to be modest and walkable to the park, and many homes have been thoughtfully renovated while keeping their original character.
Is the Daffin Park and Parkside area walkable, and what is nearby?
Yes. Parkside wraps around Daffin Park, so residents walk and bike to the lake, the tennis courts, the playgrounds, the ballfields, and Grayson Stadium, home of the Savannah Bananas. The location is central in Midtown Savannah, with Ardsley Park just to the south, Thomas Square and the Starland District a short hop west toward downtown, and easy access to Victory Drive and Skidaway Road for errands and commuting.
Are there flood-zone considerations for homes near Daffin Park?
Some blocks near Daffin Park and the lake can fall within FEMA flood zones, and a few low-lying streets are prone to street flooding in heavy rain. Flood designations vary lot by lot, so before you make an offer it is worth checking the specific flood zone, asking about any elevation certificate, and getting a flood insurance quote. We help buyers pull this information early so there are no surprises at closing.
What should I know about parking and lots in Parkside?
Many original Parkside and Daffin Park homes were built before two-car garages were standard, so off-street parking can be limited to a single driveway, a rear garage off an alley, or on-street parking. Lots are generally narrow city lots, and some homes share tight setbacks. If a driveway, garage, or extra parking matters to you, make it part of your search criteria so we can focus on homes that fit.
