Holiday Crime Report

Here's the reported crime stats for our neighborhood and surrounding areas.

The Fairway Oaks-Greenview Subdivision consists of two contiguous, precendent setting mid-20th Century suburban developments, representing the first upscale suburban residential development in Savannah to feature the now ubiquitous curvilinear street layout with cul-de-sacs and large multi-sized wooded lots. It was the first development of its kind in the region to successfully capitalize on new ideas about “country” living in the suburbs and a “country club” lifestyle fostered by its proximity to Bacon Park and the adjacent Live Oaks Golf Course. In addition, the subdivision is also significant for the establishment of the Fairway Oaks Association (c1950), one of the earliest such homeowner associations in Savannah and in Georgia.
