The Victorian District is Savannah’s first suburb, developed in the late 1800s on what was once a parade ground. It sits directly south of the Historic District, bordered by Gwinnett Street to the north, Anderson Street to the south, East Broad Street to the east, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the west. The 50-block neighborhood wraps the southern half of Forsyth Park.
The city splits the Victorian District into three sub-neighborhoods — Victorian District West (Whitaker Street side, considered the most architecturally intact), Victorian District East (East Broad side, more mixed-use), and Dixon Park (a tighter cluster on the south end). For most travelers, the distinction that matters is east vs west of Bull Street: Whitaker, Drayton, and Bull Street west are the postcard streets; East Broad and the eastern blocks are quieter and typically less expensive per square foot.
The signature streets here are tree-canopied, wider than the Historic District’s grid, and lined with two- and three-story Victorians — turrets, bay windows, gingerbread trim, deep porches, the kind of houses people go on architecture tours to see. Forsyth Park itself is the Victorian District’s living room. The Saturday morning Forsyth Farmers’ Market, the iconic white fountain, the renovated café, the playgrounds, and 30 acres of shaded lawn are all here.
From a Victorian District rental, Madison Square is a 5 minute walk north, River Street is 15 to 20 minutes north on foot, and Starland Yard is 10 to 15 minutes south. That central position is exactly why people pick this neighborhood.

The Victorian District is bigger than most travelers realize — 50 blocks. The right block depends on what you came to Savannah for. Four honest tradeoffs:
The Victorian District is inside Savannah’s STR overlay zone, which means permitted vacation rentals operate here legally. The city limits the number of STVR permits per ward — same system as the Historic District and Starland. New permits are not freely issued; one usually has to expire before another can be granted.
Every Sid Was Here property in the Victorian District holds a current Short-Term Vacation Rental permit. The permit number is posted inside the property and on file with the City of Savannah. We do not list rentals we cannot operate legally.
Parking: Most Victorian District streets have free on-street parking, and it’s noticeably easier here than in the Historic District. Some properties — particularly on Whitaker, Drayton, and Bull near Forsyth — include dedicated off-street pads or driveways. We list parking specifics on every listing. Watch for posted street-cleaning days (each block has its own schedule on a small sign — easy to miss, expensive to ignore).
Forsyth Farmers’ Market parking: On Saturday mornings, the south end of Forsyth Park around Park Avenue and Bull Street fills up between 8am and 1pm. If your rental is in this immediate cluster, plan to leave the car parked or expect to walk further than usual on Saturdays.
Quiet hours: Most Victorian District blocks observe 10pm quiet hours and they’re enforced — this is residential housing, not a commercial corridor. The neighbors are typically owner-occupants or long-term tenants, and they will call the city’s noise line if a rental is loud. We tell guests this upfront. Bachelorette parties, bachelor parties, and large groups planning a loud weekend are usually a better fit for the Historic District north of Liberty Street.
Occupancy: Maximum occupancy is enforced under Savannah’s STVR ordinance. We list the legal maximum on every property and we don’t negotiate. Exceeding it puts the permit at risk, and we like keeping our permits.
