I lived in Savannah from south africa and it was the best year of my life
THANK YOU FOR LIVING WITH US!!! We miss you
Yes ....
From Sa to Ga....
They meant in georgia not south africa
Tips for the humidity. Your hair reverts because it’s dehydrated. Try regular steam treatments and a cream then oil to lock in the moisture before heat styling
Not for white girls, friend. Savannah turns your hair into a scrub pad no matter WHAT you do
@@christa526 LOl
@@christa526 everybody’s hair gets fcked up down there I bet 😂
Good suggestion. Ty
@@christa526 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Currently live in Atlanta and can’t wait to move! All the points mentioned are exactly why I am seeking to relocate to Savannah. Such a beautiful city with great people!
would love to know why you want to move back... I'm in between both but I'm leaning towards Savannah because it's close to Tybee
I've lived in Savannah for almost 2 years and I honestly love this city
I’m so glad! Me too. We went to dinner at the new restaurants on River St. at the Plant Riverside last week. The seafood place was awesome and we watched a huge container ship almost get stuck under the bridge so it was very entertaining too. 🤣 I could do with the extreme humidity right now though. Come on Fall!
Been living here my whole life
Speaking as a native central Pennsylvanian now living in Athens who wouldn't be the least bit sad if he never saw another snowflake again, I'll gladly take an awesome thunderstorm over shoveling snow !
You ever been to Savannah?
Savannah is a truly great city
We were in Savannah the year before COVID. We loved the place,the sights,the people every thing that there is. Great place. I hope we can get there again when things are well. Regards and respect from Arthur and Jan in the UK.
So glad you enjoyed it here! I'm dying to go to the UK. I love to travel and it's definitely on my bucket list.
The airport is super cute! Looks like an old train station.
It does, doesn’t it? I love all the rocking chairs for people waiting for their friends and family to arrive.
She hated it. I guess she is not from Atlanta like us.
You should have seen the old one.
The rain thing is true for the whole state. Its a big regional problem. It can mist, but summer time its a massive massive rain storm
I loooooooove thunderstorms. No matter how intense!
But, as blasphemous as this sounds, i am a born and raised new englander, and dont like seafood.
But on the other hand, being a born and raised Massachusetts resident, i am perfectly adept to old world architecture and cobblestone streets. So sweet! :)
They're really fun, until your power gets knocked out and you need a boat instead of your car to get to the store!! 🤣🤣 nah, I love my town. But we could use faster power repairs!
Top reasons you might not want to move to Massachusetts, 7. you hate seafood 6. You want to go out without a wool hat 5. You can't take the ever extreme changing weather were people drive 90+ in a blizzard 4. an airport that is the hardest to land on in North America do to the ocean 3. you don't want to pay a million on a cottage and pay higher taxes than almost every other state, unless you want ocean front property that will cost you three times as much 2. you don't like old houses 1. you take a walk down the street trip fall and the person behind you walks over you.
But great sports teams.
😂🤗💖...lol...I get it...& yes I love the FB team there! 🏈🏉🎯
If you want to pay high property taxes, it's not the North so much where you need to move, it's Texas.
Thank you for this vid. God bless
Thank you for the video. To me this is an encouragement. I like all those things you listed. God bless
good stuff . I love the old school mansions so when i hit it big , savanna looks like a great starting point on a family getaway spot and easy access for my lagoon 65 cat.
Great video! This makes me want even more to come visit this Fall.
I'm planning a big seafood buffet one day. Yum!
Thank You kindly for sharing! ♥️
Great video!
I absolutely love Savannah Georgia! I went there during the early 2000s.The city is absolutely beautiful and the people in my experience were really friendly.I have some ancestry going back to the early 1800s and two of them are buried at the Catholic Cemetery. I would love to back again and visit Tybee Island.
Can’t wait to dig into the seafood! 🦞 🐟😋😋
Yes yes yes!!!
It's great here. Don't tell anyone
Don't go to Crab Shack! It's a tourist trap, and the food is not good
The best restaurants here are sometimes the smallest hole in the wall places, but they are fantastic!
Actually you are supposed to put the hazard lights on in really bad visibility situations. That’s the whole point of them
I just LOVE your videos. My kind of Humor with Sooooo much great info. THANKS
Saw my first ghost in Savannah it was cool!
The rot-gut grain alcohol mixed into the drinks at Wet Willies has that effect. I drank 10 and saw Elvis walking hand-and-hand with Bigfoot down Bull street at 2am.
@@Fernando_Woolybooger 😂😂😂
@@Fernando_Woolybooger hahaha Good one!
I never believed in ghosts until I actually saw one in Savannah last year😒😉😉
I’m not really interested in seeing one unless there’s a potential opportunity to have sex with it
Great video! I’m glad I stumbled on your page, will be visiting soon
Terrific! We have a great self guided tour for Savannah visitors who are just checking out the area. Feel free to download it to your phone and it will help you see most of the area in three days if this is a pre- househunting trip. georgiacoasthomes.com/savannah-self-guided-tour/
Trucker since 030595. Actually it's a good idea to turn your flashers on while going slow in inclement weather. It's to keep the idiots that don't want to slow down from rear ending you. Love savannah, haaf 87 to 89♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love your videos. You are very informative and funny. Thank you!!
Want to be my new BFF? 🤣 Thanks so much!
Giving up my $2,700/mo 1000 sqft apartment in Orange County, CA to relocate to Savannah. I can’t wait!
Thank you for not moving to Texas. You Californians have driven up the costs here & very sickening to attend the Cowboy & Maverick playoff games this year against both California teams & 40 percent of the people in attendance are from California SMH 😠
I live in Atlanta. Hoping I can move there after I finish school!
I lived there for a little while and it rained so much for a few days back in 2004 or maybe it was 2005 that they were telling people to evacuate . It didn't rain ALL THE TIME though . It just rained alot for like 4 days . I didn't evacuate either because I had no car and no where to evacuate to
Love this! 👏
Thanks so much, Lisa!
I've lived here my whole life, so has my father's side of the family. It is a truly beautiful place and I love it!! The schools are great, many affordable private schools too! (went to Sav Christian)
The only downside is that I wish we had a better music scene but the new civic center is about to begin construction (if it hasn't already) and there are several new venues that have popped up since covid "ended".
PLUS, besides being in the top 10 biggest St. Patty's Day parties in the WORLD, It is one of only 7 cities in America where you can walk around with an open container!! 🍻 SO CHEERS!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I agree with everything you said.
Rest in peace to Camoflauge. He was really going to put the city on the map before he passed
I love seafood, I'm from Florida, so I know exactly why I don't want to go in summer (I'm planning a trip for October), I'm going by Amtrak (What's up with the train station location?), and one of my biggest reasons for going is to see old houses.
Tip for STAYING in Savannah: Watching women in High-heels walk down River Street.
😆 true!
Drunk women in heels walking down River Street. 😆😆😆
Rip 👠
💯💯💯💯
Haha and now u know who the tourists are!! No woman from Savannah wears heels on River Street!! 🤣🤣
Love all of Savannah & it’s diverse neighborhoods!
extremely good video Georgia Coast Homes by Karin Carr. I shattered that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the amazing work.
I’m glad you liked it, thanks so much for watching and for the kudos!
Yup placed curled in my hair the breeze took it all away and humidity said no not today. 😆 didn't even get a chance to be out for 3 minutes.
Lol this is so true! I am actually thinking of moving down there. I have a friend that moved there and I visited her ...it seems cool!
It’s really beautiful here and there’s a lot to do. I love it!
Me too! Savannah here I come..humidity in Hawaii has prepared me
I love the rain. Moving soon 💕
Savannah Georgia is beautiful And historic places I love this city
I love Savannah it’s a great place to live
Love watching your video... So cute and funny!! I'm planning to move to Southern GA.
Thanks Karen
I loved this video! The one time I was in Savannah it poured so HARD that we did pull over and I was actually a little bit scared and I'm from the Pacific Northwest, so I am used to rain! Luckily my boyfriend is from the area and he assured me that we were just fine. I fell in love with the south and the people!
Right?! The rain here is insane sometimes! But right now the flowers are blooming, daffodils are coming up, trees are covered with flowers, and it’s just gorgeous.
It's the tropics, it rarely rains, but when it does it buckets down.
I am relocating to Savannah from New Mexico - I used to live in SC and would visit Savannah all the time. Great city Thanks for the "negative" reasons why not to move (really not relevant to me). Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video, planning on moving to Savannah area this year.
So you know that I really do love it here. Welcome!
i have really curly hair and know how to work my hair curls with humidity, hair styling cream, a good styling hair cream and let it naturally air dry, you can use a diffuser, but on cool hair mode
Planned on relocating to savannah from Atlanta, Ga.
A fun/informative video to watch!
Thinking about traveling to Savanna with my hubby without our daughter who is starting college 😆
Thank you! It’s a really fun place to visit with tons of history.
So the property tax situation in the Savannah area is affordable? That would put Savannah on my list of places to retire to. I have been in my townhouse in suburban Chicago since 1998. My property taxes went up $1,000 this yesr... ouch. I want out of Illinois big time...hopefully in 4 to 5 yerars, maybe less, depending on my family obligations
My sister lives in chicago. My property taxes are 1/10 of what hers are. Not exaggerating!
@@georgiacoasthomes Illinois supposedly has the second highest property taxes in the U.S., New Jersey is first. Illinois has supposedly lost close to 250,000 residents since 2014. I don't know if the pandemic has affected the outward moves from Illinois or not.
First ten minutes of being there I saw a guy passed out face down on the street. Seems like a lovely place other then the projects being across the street from the historic district
Yes. That's a shame they built government housing in the historic district.
OMG the hair! LOL
Not much of an exaggeration either.
You are hilarious! A few years ago I moved from the dry southwest to Jacksonville, FL, I freaked out when I was driving around and it downpoured so bad I had no visibility. Thankfully I was close to my house and remembered my way home. There were fallen branches everywhere in my neighborhood. The hair! Yes, I used to flat iron it quite often, but once there I had no choice than to learn to embrace my curly hair. I ended up liking my curls. I moved back to the dessert, but considering to move to the east coast again. I loved Savannah, the seafood was great!
It’s true, the rain is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before! But I do like it better than the desert (I lived in Salt Lake for a long time) and I’ve come to appreciate the humidity... most of the time. 😉
One word: Dimethicone. It will take away the frizz and can be used as a primer for the face to keep the shine away.
We aren't always waving; sometimes just flushing out sand-gnats and other icky critters.
Embrace your life! Trust me. I'm from a foreign country. Savannah is AWESOME!
I agree!
Lol loved this video!❤️😃
Haha, thanks Priscilla! We still need to go to lunch soon.
Precise!
You completely forgot the gnats, they’re so bad, they’re always trying to eat you and get in every part of your body like in your nose, scalp and etc.
How bad is port wentworth.? We were planning on moving to pooler but can't find anything we like we found a place in port wentworth but hear it's a bad little city
Karin... You are a genius! Most of those reasons tied to something positive, a reason to move to Savannah, and/or good real estate! ;)
Wow, thank you!
I have developed an allergy to shellfish. It makes things hard
Good day, I'm interested to moved to Savanah, for job. Tell me about employments opportunities rates, etc for some unskilled jobs at there? Like Warehouses, gulf stream jobs too.... I'm more interested for flexible jobs wit and opportunities to further education while working
I'm ready to relocate any time soonest....
Thanks for the inspiring information you shared in the video
Same Texas bas with property tax
I love old Victorian Holmes that's my favorite hobby to do is go out and look
As a Savannah resident, New Orleans has seafood on lock. Savannah is playing ketchup.
You think? I like the creole food in New Orleans but I could eat the seafood here in savannah ever single day and be on cloud nine.
I live in savannah
It's a laid-back city. Just enjoy it. Take your cocktail in a 'traveler' to promenade around the Riverside. Eat some good low-country food. Enjoy the beauty and history of this old, colonial city.
Also, the regulars really love when ladies wear hats and dresses. You'll get many compliments. The 'uniform' for men are polos and buff-colored dress shorts, maybe some boat shoes. At night men throw on a sport coat and jeans or twill trousers to eat at the many of the fine restaurants around town.
Listen... I lived a 5 min walk from the river which is where I worked ..... and it wsd raining .. I had an umbrella and all ... looked like I swam to work 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤗😂😅🤣💖💖❤🏊♀️🏊♂️🏊🛶
Sands nats are no joke eat your ass up in Savannah but I love the city thou great place to live
This is basically the same as Jacksonville, FL. Well, obviously. They're ~2hrs apart.
nah, completely different vibe in SAV
Lived there 4 years due to being stationed. Loved it, but I can take it or leave it now, because my ex mother in law is there and a few other bad apples there. AND Not EVERYONE says hi...its a military town now and you have military migrants that stayed that dont always greet. I was there from '01 to '04 and did love it...but following the news down there it's gone downhill.. that and property taxes and cost of living in the south has ALWAYs generally been lower than the north...sadly the south isn't known for attracting the high paying type of jobs, unless its military/govt related.
All true.
If you go to Savannah and want to live there you must get hurricane and flood insurance !
Hi Brad, thanks for the comment! However, it really depends on where you live. For example, I live about 28 miles inland and it is not required where I live. But you are 100% correct that if you live on one of the islands, or by a river or the marsh, you will probably be required to have it if your house is in a flood zone.
God I miss the RAIN!!!! Los Angeles drought is killing us here!
100 year old and historic is a hell of a lot better than concrete corporate.
Lol, not that humid😂😂😂
I'd hate living on Tybee Island bc it would make me homesick for my hometown
What's your hometown? I would love to live on Tybee, except that there's only one way on and off. So when traffic stinks or the road floods due to a storm you're stuck there. That's the only thing about it that I don't love.
@@georgiacoasthomes I live in Douglasville
You made a cool video
Property taxes in Utah are 2k-3500
I lived in SLC for 17 years. I hear the prices there have soared in the last 5 years. They have here too but I think it's still probably a bit less than Salt Lake.
How is it in the winter?
It’s early October now and still in the 80’s. In the 40’s and 50’s during the day in January. It’s cold to me but it only lasts about two months.
Still much in property tax, I'm under $1100 in Ohio
Well i love it here in i am here now i dnt hate anything u the only one that do
U forgot how you can get so confused with the strange roads downtown.
I moved to Colorado and nobody says hi it’s so sad
Where, Denver? Yeah, that’s understandable. It’s a big city. Savannah is more like the size of Salt Lake.
@@georgiacoasthomes nah the small cities out side of it. You’ll be on a hike and pass someone and they will just ignore you
One minute it’s bone dry… BOOM TORRENTIAL DOWN POUR🤣
So true!
I can’t stand the dry colorado air . I’ll take humidity any day
City
Why hate ..every area has bad ..and there are also good In every bad..lol planning to move to there ..need to find a home to buy that's max 260.. close to otis j brock
Agreed, every town in the world has its share of good points and bad points. Life is what you make of it, right? If you need help just email us at info@georgiacoasthomes.com and we'd love to assist you.
If you are not from one of the old Savannah families, you will never be included in the real society there. Very Old South.
Born and raised traveled most of my adult life and wouldn't dream of living anywhere else
Go back up north!
OMG! That was hilarious!!!
Good lord she's right on about everything
Thanks so much!
no mention of the daily shootings and murders,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what would you expect from a real estate
I’m sure I won’t have to worry about everyone saying hi to me…………only certain people gonna get what I mean
I’m not I’m just going to visit wiht my bff
I already live here and I’m afraid of snakes oceans and alligators I am petrified of those
I must admit, I can’t stand snakes either but I’ve only seen a couple of alligators in the years I’ve lived here. They seem to mind their own business out in the pond.
How bad are the insects? Mosquitoes, roaches etc?
It depends on where you live, whether you're closer to the water or deeper into the woods. But I do have a bug company come spray once every few months to keep everything at bay.
Is flooding a problem in Savannah?
Stacy Rath in certain areas, yes. The closer you are to the ocean, rivers, or marshes the higher the risk. Where I live, more inland? Almost no risk. You can search the flood zone for any house that you’re interested in online and if it’s in an X flood zone, you’re good.
@@georgiacoasthomes can I get a house in a safe neighborhood for $200k
Number one reason You!
You forgot hurricanes. I hate hurricanes. .
Luckily it’s not too often. Two or three hurricanes in the last 20 years or so.
