Relocating across state lines comes with plenty of logistics, especially when you are trying to find the perfect neighborhood from afar. If you are moving to the greater Savannah area for a fresh start or a new career, finding a community that makes the approval and onboarding process smooth from a distance changes everything.
Inspired by the serene charm of a classic French village, we have modeled our 20-acre property with a variety of cozy one-story cottages and spacious townhomes nestled among beautifully landscaped grounds. Here is how we at Allier Port Wentworth simplify your out-of-state transition and help you settle into the Georgia coast with absolute peace of mind.
Can I tour if I’m not local?
Absolutely! Hunting for a home from hundreds of miles away can be a challenge, but you do not need to buy a plane ticket just to check out your options. We offer comprehensive virtual tours, real-time photos, and detailed floor plans to help you explore our community from anywhere. We can also assist with live video tours so you can see the space in real time, evaluate the open layouts, and ask our team questions while you watch.
How does the application and approval process work?
Our application process is fully online and designed to be quick and easy, even if you are relocating from out of state. Once your digital application and payment are submitted, we begin screening your paperwork right away. Our on-site leasing team stays in close communication with you throughout each step to ensure a smooth, transparent, and completely stress-free experience from start to finish.
What do I need to qualify?
Applying from another state is transparent and straightforward. To qualify for our luxury townhomes and cottages, applicants must complete our online application and meet our standard screening criteria, which includes income verification, credit history, and background screening. We typically look for a verifiable gross monthly income that is at least 2.5 times the monthly rent.
While we do not enforce a strict, minimum credit score cutoff, we do review your overall credit history and individual tradelines as part of the approval process. All applicants over the age of 18 must apply and pay the application fee. If you face any credit challenges from afar, our team is happy to walk you through the process and see if you qualify for our authorized co-signer and guarantor program.
I am starting a new job in the Savannah area; how do I verify my income?
We make verifying new employment simple for incoming residents who haven't received a local paycheck yet. We gladly accept official corporate offer letters, or our office can contact your employer directly to have an authorized manager complete an employment verification form. Additionally, all applicants complete a secure, electronic income verification through NOVA Credit, which safely reviews your historical direct deposits so you can complete your qualification completely remotely.
How strict are credit checks? Is there a minimum credit score requirement?
As mentioned, we do not enforce a rigid, minimum credit score cutoff. Instead, our leasing team evaluates your overall financial history by looking at individual tradelines. While recent charge-offs, active collections, outstanding rental debt, foreclosures, or vehicle repossessions can result in an application decline, we always look for solutions. If you are declined due to credit, you may be invited to apply through our authorized co-signer and guarantor program to help secure your new coastal home.
Do you offer short-term leases or flexible lease options?
Moving timelines can be unpredictable, especially when relocating across state lines for work or a temporary assignment. To accommodate your specific transition schedule, we offer highly flexible short-term and long-term lease options ranging from 6 to 18 months. This flexible window is especially helpful for those relocating for corporate roles or anyone who needs temporary flexibility while getting established and exploring the beautiful Savannah region.
Do the homes come furnished?
Our build-to-rent cottages and townhomes are handed over unfurnished, giving you a beautiful blank canvas to design your space with top-of-the-line finishes, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. However, if you want to avoid the high cost and hassle of shipping heavy furniture across state lines, we partner with a trusted local furniture company that offers convenient, fully customizable furniture packages to make your move completely seamless and hassle-free.
Do the cottages and townhomes come with a washer and dryer?
Our homes do not come with a washer and dryer pre-installed; however, every cottage and townhome includes full-size washer and dryer hookups for your convenience. We also offer an on-site commercial laundry facility for residents to use. If you don't want to transport your own machines across the country, we are more than happy to recommend trusted local companies that provide affordable washer and dryer rental options to make your move-in as easy as possible.
What is the parking situation for residents and guests?
Navigating your vehicles after a long interstate drive is completely stress-free here, and your options vary depending on your choice of floor plan. Our homes with attached garages feature two dedicated parking spaces, while our one-story cottage floor plans include unassigned, open parking spaces located in very close proximity to your front door for easy unloading. For family and guests driving in to help you unpack, they can park in any of the open, clearly marked overflow parking spaces distributed throughout our gated community grounds.
What utilities are included in the rent?
To eliminate the headache of setting up multiple individual utility bills from afar, we offer a bundled utility package. This package includes high-speed internet, water, sewer, pest control, valet trash service, and your required resident liability insurance. This dramatically simplifies your monthly budgeting since most of your household essentials are covered in one single, convenient payment on your monthly ledger.
Where is the property located and what is the surrounding area like?
We are located in a highly convenient, rapidly growing area near major shopping, dining, and entertainment options just outside Savannah. Our community sits within walking distance or a quick drive of popular retail centers like the Waterford Shoppes, everyday essentials like Publix and grocery stores, and local dining favorites like Agave Bar and Grill and Georgia Comfort Kitchen. The area is known for being pristine, well-maintained, and exceptionally easy to navigate for those completely new to the region.
How far are you from major employers or business hubs?
If you are relocating to the region for career opportunities, our prime location makes daily travel a breeze. We are conveniently situated right off Interstate 95 (I-95), Highway 21, and Highway 31, making commuting to major employers and surrounding business hubs quick and easy. This excellent proximity allows residents to access nearby commercial areas, industrial hubs, and Downtown Savannah with minimal travel time, making it an ideal choice for corporate relocations.
What is the commute like and are there major highways nearby?
Our community is located just minutes from main highways making commuting simple and convenient. Despite our close proximity to major roadways like I-95, our 20-acre property is tucked away in a peaceful, serene setting—allowing you to enjoy easy access to everything you need without the noise or congestion of main roads. It gives you the best of both worlds: ultimate connectivity to the city and a quiet retreat to unwind.
