Hi S.,
I actually live in Savannah. We've been there for 2 1/2 years. You're fortunate to work at home and not have to commute, because that is the biggest problem, commuting. There are way too many communities going in and not nearly enough road space!!
We do have a lot of activities, especially geared towards older kids, the pool is great, but at this point, the one water park we have is starting to get way too small for all the people moving in. I believe there are plans for another, but not really sure when. Also, for the HOA dues we pay, we don't take nearly enough advantage of the ammenities, which is no ones fault but ours, but with the time spent commuting, it's hard to even have the time!
We enjoy living there, away from the "rat race" so to speak, especially since our daughter was born, but as much as they're building up there around the area, it will all catch up in no time. If you're looking to make this a place you'll live for a long long time, then it's great, but I will also tell you, my husband and I had looked into selling and moving closer to our offices, but the resale value on homes up there, at this point, is not good, because they keep building and building.
Anyhow, it is a nice place to live, fairly quiet, as long as you're not near the horse farm on a Sat. night...., which of course, we are! :)It is a wonderful perk to be able to find a house that you love, for the prices up there. We've just got a small little place, but for now, it works for us...though it's amazing how much smaller it got when our daughter was born.....
If you don't mind me asking, are you looking at the new phase up there?
