Pooler

“It’s cooler in Pooler,” residents say. And indeed, Pooler is one of the fastest growing cities in Georgia. Located just off I-95 roughly 20 miles from downtown Savannah, this community has grown from around 6,000 residents in 2000 to more than 25,000 today. It's now the hub for commercial development in West Chatham County, not to mention the home of Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and the adjacent headquarters of Gulfstream Aerospace. Pooler's aerospace cred is further celebrated by the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, filled with historic planes used by the flying aces in WWII. For shopping, there’s plenty of formula retail and the Tanger Outlets, with more than 102 stores. Since Pooler’s boom is so recent, you’ll find plenty of new construction in a variety of subdivisions to choose from. These planned communities—both gated and non—have amenities like pro-designed golf courses, Olympic-sized pools, and tennis courts.

Living in Savannah

Gorgeous and welcoming, Savannah is lovely to behold and even lovelier to live in. The lifeblood of this city, founded in 1733, is the Savannah River, flowing around and through the entire metropolis. And its heart? That’s Savannah’s legendary urban planning, created by town founder James Oglethorpe. A visionary town planner, Oglethorpe incorporated parks and gardens throughout, with pedestrian-scaled streets. Replicable and non-hierarchical, Savannah’s town plan remained the guiding light for the city’s new developments through the twentieth century. As a result, Savannah is a place that feels utterly livable, whether you’re relaxing on the beach, drinking and strolling on River Street, or just enjoying a delicious seafood meal, surrounded by moss-covered oak trees.
