## Location

        

Midtown Savannah runs roughly from Forsyth Park's southern edge along the Victory Drive and Waters Avenue corridors to DeRenne Avenue, connecting the Historic District to the southside retail corridors near Savannah Mall and Oglethorpe Mall. Daffin Park, a 76-acre municipal park with Historic Grayson Stadium, sits at the neighborhood's core. I-16 access is available via the MLK Jr. Boulevard interchange roughly ten minutes northwest.

## Character

        

Midtown is a mosaic of postwar bungalows, brick ranches, and small apartment buildings built from the 1940s through the 1960s, interspersed with commercial nodes along Victory Drive's palm-lined median and Waters Avenue's historically Black-owned business corridor. The area offers some of Savannah's most affordable close-in housing while retaining walkable access to Daffin Park's lake, tennis courts, and the Savannah Bananas' home stadium.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Midtown grew as Savannah's population expanded south of the Historic District following World War II, with Victory Drive developed as a memorial boulevard to World War I veterans and planted with its signature palm median. Historic Grayson Stadium, built in 1926 and renovated in 1941, has hosted minor league baseball and now the Savannah Bananas' Banana Ball franchise.
