If you play golf then getting a tee times up here is easier then in the southern area. We are also close to the driving ranges too. The hospital is very close as well as many of the emergency sites and various medical offices.
Traffic is lighter up here during the winter months. Your also close to the major entertainment venues, like Savannah Center, The Sharon, Polo Fields, Terra Del Sol blackbox theater, two bowling alleys etc. Most of the homes have new roofs, many updates in the homes as well as landscaping. Almost all of the homes have the bonds paid off or they are very small and will be retired very soon.
If I had to pick two Villages for you to focus on in the northern area they would be Tall Trees and Piedmont. Try if possible to get a Village that has quick access to Buena Vista or Morse. Having a roundabout is great at your exit or a stoplight. Those homes on Morse north of 466 are near impossible to exit from and make a left during the winter months.
