The Starland District, located within the borders of the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District, is one of Savannah’s most fashionable emerging neighborhoods. 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.

The restoration of the Starland District began in 2000, and is still a work in progress. The plan for Starland aimed to restore both its residential and commercial functions, creating a vibrant new art and design district —a haven for local artists and musicians and packed with the city’s best indie boutiques, cafés, shops, and even a brewery —has piqued the interest of preservation buffs because of its Queen Anne, Greek Revival and Craftsman-style homes.

This is a rapidly gentrifying area with a lot of renovation projects happening in this trendy and diverse neighborhood consisting of SCAD students, Savannah locals, and vacation homes alike. There are dozens of amazing dining options nearby, including Cotton and Rye for eclectic Southern fare, or Tacos+Tequila for tex-mex, both on Habersham, or Collins Quarter Café in Forsyth Park for brunch and mimosas, all less than a 15 minute walk. 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.

• Forsyth Park - Just an eight minute walk. Make sure you check out the Forsyth Farmer's Market, which takes place every Saturday from 9a.m. to 1p.m.
