The Starland Arts District, located within the borders of the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District, is one of Savannah’s most popular and fashionable emerging neighborhoods. The community is mixed, the architecture is Craftsman, and your journey awaits in Starland.

The district traces its history back over a period of more than a hundred years. Specifically, its origins lie in the founding of the Starland Dairy, a milk processing factory around which the rest of the neighborhood would develop over the course of several decades. In the early 20th century, development of both residential and commercial buildings took off, peaking in 1920 – the same year the street cars were removed. During the period, two-story homes, apartments, and single-family buildings were added. A number of architectural styles can be found in the area, including Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, Neoclassical Revival and Craftsman.

After World War II, the neighborhood shifted dramatically as wealthy residents filtered out and into the suburbs and beyond, and businesses left the area. 50 years later half the housing and more than half of the commercial structures in the community had become derelict or razed because of severely deteriorated conditions.

In 1999, two SCAD students had a vision for the area around the old Starland Dairy, which was in danger of being razed. They wanted to transform the old dairy, and the area around it, naming the area the Starland District. The restoration of the Starland District began in 2000 and is still a work in progress. The plan aimed to restore both its residential and commercial functions, creating a vibrant new art and design district that has since become a haven for local artists and musicians, and packed with the city’s best indie boutiques, cafés, shops, and even a brewery!

The area Queen Anne, Greek Revival and Craftsman-style homes continues to pique the interest of preservation buffs and tourists alike, bringing many newcomers to this trendy area. This is still a rapidly gentrifying area with a diverse population consisting of SCAD students, long-time Savannah locals, newcomers, and visitors like you. SCAD’s off-campus housing less than 2-blocks away at Victory Village. During the school year, you'll notice many SCAD students walking around, headed to their dorms or to class.

Victory North, Savannah’s premier venue for live music is just a short 2-block walk. Savannah's finest and funniest comedy group, Front Porch Improv, is literally around the corner – just a 2-block walk. Perfect for an evening out with friends. Starland Yard’s amazing food truck court is just a 5-minute walk and there are dozens of amazing dining options nearby - all less than a 15-minute walk.

The home is next door to a car lot, and while it may not be aesthetically pleasing, it should not impact your overall stay.

It's an exciting time to visit, and we ask our guests to be tolerant and respectful of our diverse neighborhood, and the people who call Savannah home.
