I can handle the heat n humidity but flying roaches omg I just dnt knw if that will keep me from going. So from southern California to the south but I do enjoy the beautiful architecture, the mossy trees, affordable living and slower living [ being raised n cali life is always go go go] that's not me....n all seasons.

    Every year we vacation in Hilton Head. I like to play golf and use the Golf Now App for good deals. Last year I got a good deal on a round in Savannah. It was a little farther away than I would usually go but thought "Hey, I'll get to add a GA logo ball to my collection". I went across that bridge into the city and felt like I was launching into space, LOL. I took a picture but unfortunately the camera on my phone doesn't do it justice. I saw very little of your city, but I got the impression it's an historic place. Alas I still did not get to see an alligator. We have vacationed the area for 22 years now, and zero alligators. We hear the stories but I tell my wife and girls that they must be a myth like Sasquatch. I played a round one year at Hilton Head Lakes with two gentlemen from Savannah the year they built it. My ball landed in a wooded area and they said if I went in there after it I may not come out. But they seriously seemed more worried about spiders than alligators.

    We are from Brasil , and I`m plaining to study at SCAD next year... So definitively it will be a huge change for all of us.
    And to be honest, It s been really hard to find some good recommendations about good places to live.
    I know that you must have something better to do than talk to this crazy dude here. But It would be awesome if you could help me with this.
    Which neighborhood should I pick, considering the following scenario:
    1 - Schools // I have a 4 years old daughter and a 2 years old son.
    2 - Violence // I heard in other youtube channel about savannah is not the safest place on the earth ( who I`m to talk about violence, I`m from São Paulo) Anyway, would be good be in the safest areas
    3 - Close SCAD campus

      Hi Felipe! Bryan County (Richmond Hill) and Effingham County (Guyton and Rincon) are known for their good schools, and the schools on the east side of Savannah on the islands are as well. As for violence, it's a city and any city has crime. The worst I've personally experienced was someone breaking into cars in our neighborhood. As for being close to SCAD, I'd say the Victorian district or Midtown or even the Southside would be closest,. I'd be happy to go into more detail if you need more advice.
