Effingham County

Effingham County sits between the Ogeechee and Savannah Rivers and is included as part of the greater Savannah metropolitan area. Primarily made up of rural communities, Effingham County’s main cities are Springfield, Rincon, and Guyton. Effingham County is a popular choice for anyone looking for more space and less rules. Properties here often include multiple acres, with no visible neighbors, and rarely have an HOA. Even the more densely built neighborhoods in Effingham still include considerable land surrounding each house, with plenty of room to store cars, boats, or RVs in a separate garage. County seat Springfield has The Mars Theater, a 1945 movie theater that was renovated with new state-of-the-art technology, as well as Effingham Health System, the area’s primary hospital. It’s about an hour’s drive to Savannah or to the beaches on Georgia’s coast.

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.
