The Islands offer a diverse range of coastal living, from expansive private golf communities to hidden waterfront enclaves along the Wilmington River.

The Landings on Skidaway Island

Heading:
Private Gated Community | Savannah, GA 31411 | [cite_start]Luxury Golf & Waterfront Living [cite: 2]

Description:
There’s a moment, just past the gate and into the canopy of Skidaway Island, when the pace of the world genuinely slows down. That’s not a marketing line. It’s what residents say — and why so many of them stay for decades. The Landings is a private, gated island community spanning roughly 4,600 acres of coastal Georgia landscape along the Intracoastal Waterway, about 12 miles south of downtown Savannah. It was developed beginning in 1972 and transitioned to homeowner control in 1995. Today it’s managed by a debt-free homeowners association — one of the few communities of its size that can say that. [cite_start]The Urban Land Institute has recognized it as one of the nation’s best residential communities, and Savannah Magazine readers have voted it Best Planned Community Development five years running. [cite: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

The Homes:
With around 4,000 residences and roughly 8,500 full-time residents, The Landings offers real variety: patio homes, single-family homes, townhouses, and estate properties. Homes range from about 1,500 to nearly 5,000 square feet, and pricing spans from the mid-$200stowellover$2 million. Lot views include golf course, lagoon, river, marsh, and wooded settings — so two homes on the same street can feel completely different. [cite_start]The HOA handles gated security, landscaping, street lighting, and common area maintenance. [cite: 9, 10, 11, 12]

The Amenities & Character:
Six championship golf courses. Two full-service deep-water marinas — Landings Harbour Marina and Delegal Creek Marina. Thirty-one tennis courts. A 48,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center with indoor pools, steam rooms, a pilates studio, and an outdoor pool and spa. Five clubhouses ranging from casual to fine dining. Forty miles of walking and biking trails. A community farm with garden plots. A dog park. An observation tower over the marsh. Over 100 social clubs, from a sailing club to a kayak club to a women’s golf association that happens to be the largest club-based amateur women’s golf organization in the country. [cite_start]Just outside the main gate sits The Village — a small commercial hub with a grocery store, pharmacy, bank, wine shop, gas station, library, and hair salon, so daily errands don’t require leaving the island. [cite: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]

The Lifestyle:
This is resort living that doesn’t feel performative. People walk to the marina in the morning, golf in the afternoon, and have dinner with neighbors they’ve known for twenty years. There are planned social events, seasonal BBQs at both marinas, sailing races on weekends, and a New Neighbors club for anyone just arriving. Skidaway Island State Park is nearby for hiking, birding, and picnicking. The beach is a short drive. Downtown Savannah is about 20 minutes — close enough to enjoy, far enough away to feel like a retreat. [cite_start]Club membership is optional, with options ranging from social to athletic to full golf — meaning you can customize the lifestyle to what actually fits you. [cite: 22, 23, 24, 25, 13]

Causton Bluff

Heading:
Waterfront Neighborhood | Savannah, GA 31404 | [cite_start]Coastal Community Living [cite: 30]

Description:
Causton Bluff is one of those Savannah neighborhoods that people stumble across and immediately wonder why they hadn’t heard about it sooner. It sits quietly off the grid of the more well-known names, tucked between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island — which is exactly why its residents love it. The community occupies a bluff along the Wilmington River, and its history runs deep. The land was first inhabited by Native Americans as early as 4000 BC, later settled by English colonists in the 1700s who established plantations here. [cite_start]Today it’s a small, close-knit residential neighborhood with a strong sense of place and a community that genuinely looks out for itself. [cite: 31, 32, 33, 34, 35]

The Homes:
Causton Bluff includes both established single-family homes and a newer gated sub-community called Causton Bluff at Bartow Point — a boutique waterfront enclave where some lots include deep-water slips. The Cottages at Causton Bluff offer a more cottage-style, low-maintenance option. Pricing ranges broadly, with luxury waterfront properties reaching into the $1.8M+ range and more modest homes available for significantly less. [cite_start]It’s a neighborhood with range, which is part of its appeal. [cite: 37, 38, 39, 40]

The Amenities & Character:
The community features a pool, a gazebo, and a community dock facility — the kind of amenities that make a neighborhood feel like more than just a collection of houses. Access to the water is a defining feature here. [cite_start]Whether you’re kayaking the river, fishing off the dock, or simply watching the tides shift from your porch, the Lowcountry landscape is woven into daily life. [cite: 42, 43]

The Lifestyle:
Causton Bluff sits just minutes from both downtown Savannah and Tybee Island — meaning you can be at a rooftop restaurant or with your feet in the ocean within the same afternoon. It’s a neighborhood for people who want to feel connected to the water without the island price tags that sometimes come with it. [cite_start]The community vibe is neighborly and unpretentious, the kind of place where people wave when they drive by and actually know each other’s names. [cite: 45, 46, 47]
