Google street view by the way.....awesome!!
I recommend Pooler over Forsythe Park. Even the nicest areas in downtown Savannah are still bumping up against the edge of the ghetto. The crime rate is extremely high, and I'm not gonna lie.. when I was living downtown I never really felt 100% safe. I had 2 cars broken into and I got held at knifepoint, so I guess that's why. Southside is less bad, but my friends got chased down and shot at for no apparent reason, on Southside. I was actually looking at moving to Pooler when I decided to move back to Athens... We could have rented a decent ranch style house with a backyard and stuff for not a lot of money. I would say go to Pooler. It's about the same to go from Pooler to Savannah as to go from Jefferson to Athens (15-20 mins) and it's just hopping on the highway and coming right in, so you can definitely easily party in Savannah/whatever, but you don't have to deal with living to Savannah.
