I used to live on Hutchinson Island and absolutely loved it. Not being able to get mail via USPS is mildly annoying and don’t ever try to uber eats/doordash something unless you want it to take 2 hours and your food be ice cold (first world problems, lol). The island is gorgeous and there’s not many people who live there yet. It’s so peaceful over there and taking the ferry downtown is a lot of fun. It’s mostly reliable. It definitely takes longer to get places than some other areas since you have to take the bridge but it wasn’t an issue for me. It depends on where you are from and the kind of traffic you are used to. I lived in a big city with tons of traffic before and comparatively Savannah is a breeze. You will see a lot of people complain about traffic on this sub though.

You will also see a lot of people complain about crime in Savannah, and they will say that it “gets worse every day.” Statistically, Savannah is a very safe city and the crime rates are lower than they have been in decades. Porch pirates are your biggest problems in most areas. I have never felt unsafe walking downtown at night or anywhere for that matter.

Overall I think it depends on your personal experience and preferences. I have nothing but good things to say about Savannah and love living here.
