Waterways

Waterways is a premier, gated master-planned community in Richmond Hill that was intentionally designed around coastal Lowcountry living, recreation, and neighborhood culture. The community’s scale and amenity depth set it apart: Waterways features a central Cottenham Exchange with retail and gathering spaces, two resort-style pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, event lawn, and a calendar of community programming that supports year-round social life and neighborhood connection.

Outdoor lifestyle is core to Waterways’ identity. The neighborhood is organized around the Grand Lagoon and a network of freshwater lagoons, kayak/canoe launch points, miles of connected multi-use trails and biking paths, shoreline parks, and a nearly one-acre dog park (Waterwags). The Grand Lagoon and paddling infrastructure create real water-based recreation inside the community footprint, encouraging kayaking, paddleboarding, and casual waterfront living without needing to leave the neighborhood.

For boaters and coastal recreationalists, Waterways offers direct marina access on Redbird Creek with deepwater slips, dry storage, and services that connect members to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic — a major lifestyle advantage for buyers who prioritize boating, fishing, and weekend cruising. The marina operation supports both wet slips and enclosed dry storage options for a range of boats.

Homes in Waterways are equally broad: you’ll find townhomes and cottage product near the village core, move-up single-family homes by national builders (including Pulte) and semi-custom waterfront and estate lots on larger parcels. The community intentionally blends walkable village elements (shops, coffee, and small retail in Cottenham Exchange) with quieter lagoon and marshfront neighborhoods for privacy and scenic value. Market listings show active product from entry-level new construction up through high-end waterfront homes, with current inventory and median values reflecting strong local demand.

Waterways also ranks highly for family appeal and school access while delivering resort-style on-site features: multipurpose courts, playgrounds, community gardens, kayak launches, dog parks, and robust events programming. Its proximity to Richmond Hill’s school system, quick access to I-95, and a 20–30 minute drive to downtown Savannah combine to make Waterways a full-service lifestyle community — attractive to buyers who want both coastal recreation and everyday convenience.
