Pooler Georgia

Pooler , Ga is now a fast-growing city located northwest of Savannah, near Interstate 95. During the Civil War, Pooler was a railway stop called Pooler's Station—the last stop before Savannah on the Central of Georgia Railroad. In December 1864, it was a meeting place for Union officers led by William Tecumseh Sherman, who negotiated with Savannah authorities for the strategic port city's peaceful surrender.

Today, Pooler Georgia is the center for commercial development in west Chatham County. Godley Station, the center for business development, has been successful in attracting large companies such as JCB to the area. Good schools, reasonable property value, and a small town community have all been factors in its explosive growth. Pooler Parkway is loaded with restaurants, shopping, businesses and major retailers like Sams Club, Lowes and Walmart. Target is coming soon!

If you are already in the coastal empire you've probably heard someone say, "It's cooler in Pooler!" I'm not so sure about that, but I do know that the  Pooler, Ga area is a hot market for new construction.  Just a short 20 minute drive up I-16 from Savannah and accessible from I-95 just minutes from the Savannah - Hilton Head International Airport, it's an ideal location.

Having grown up in Savannah, when I was a kid,  Pooler was just another small rural community on the outskirts of Savannah. Savannah was the city and living in Pooler was living out in the country.   In the 90's things started to change.  Developers began buying up the land in Pooler and breaking ground on new residential new home communities filled with amenities.  Keeping up with the growing population, retailers began lining up along Pooler Parkway, from Home Depot to Sam's.  Now, Godley Station on Pooler Parkway abounds with shopping and restaurants saving a 20 minute drive down I-16 into Savannah.

From the Villages at Godley Station, The Farm at Morgan Lakes, Somersby,  The Hunt Club, and the many communities in the adjacent Savannah Quarters offer single family homes and townhomes from the 150's to the 300's and up.  Many communities offer great amenities from private lakes and lagoons to tennis, swimming and exercise facilities.  Savannah Quarters boasts a Greg Norman Championship golf course. .

The average time to build a home from the ground up is 4 to 6 months but most communities have existing inventory in various stages of completion.  Most builder's are extremely competitive in this slower market and there are great deals to be found in both price and upgrades.  Many builders will even pay closing costs, although sometimes only with one of their approved lenders.

There are great deals in Pooler, Georgia right now from new construction pricing and incentives to resales, short sales and foreclosures.

Remember,  when you get ready to check out these communities bring your own agent!  As I said in a previous post, "That smiling face who greets you at the door represents the seller! Local agents know how to negotiate to get you the best deal possible. Plus, as agents we are kept updated with special incentives and available inventory.  This is what we do every day so let an agent look out for your best interests and help guide you through the process with ease.
