The high school line runs north to south through the neighborhood: the homes zoned for Beach were on the western blocks, nearer Bull and Abercorn streets, and those zoned for the School of Liberal Studies on the eastern blocks. One sampled address returned no elementary school. More in our schools guide.

How we drew this area

The edges are the City of Savannah’s boundary for its Ardsley Park/Chatham Crescent neighborhood, from the layer its Development Services Department keeps on SAGIS. School shares come from 80 randomly chosen homes run through the district’s lookup on Oct. 6, 2026; the lookup and the school system decide any one address. Home counts and years built are from the county’s 2025 parcel digest. Store locations are © OpenStreetMap contributors.
