Overview

Be inspired by the full moon’s reflection over Moon River made famous by legendary Savannah local, Johnny Mercer. Hear Audrey Hepburn’s angelic voice singing about these charming coastal waterways as you fall in love with the Moon River District, which embraces the beautiful residential islands of Isle of Hope, Dutch Island, Burnside Island, and Skidaway Island. The Landings, South Harbor, Moon River Landing, and Modena rest within the territory of Skidaway Island. 

The neighborhoods of the Moon River District are truly coastal communities. Stand beneath legendary live oaks, gaze upon acres and acres of marshlands and winding riverways, and meander through magnificent maritime forests. We feel the true spirit of the south living on these residential islands along the rivers and within communities that are tight-knit and hold the local traditions and culture of the Coastal Empire. The Moon River District is the perfect place to experience life like a long-time Savannahian.
