Historical Background
Originally developed around the electric streetcar in the late 1800s, Thomas Square became known as the Thomas Square Streetcar District, a National Historic District since the late 1990s. Despite the absence of
streetcars today, the area maintains a sense of convenience and connection.
Community and Revitalization
Revitalization efforts led by Savannah College of Art and Design graduates have introduced artsy spaces and local restaurants. Families are drawn to the quiet neighborhood, good schools, and access to city amenities. The area balances historic charm with a trendy, modern outlook.
Starland District
The Starland District, named after the old Starland Dairy, is the main hub for local shopping and dining. Highlights include Big Bon Bodega for bagels, Foxy Loxy Café for coffee and Tex-Mex, and the Starland Yard

With an average home price under $700,000, it’s more affordable than the Landmark District to the north. Larger houses and lots offer a suburban feel within the city.
