Savannah Village
Savannah Village is an established, multi-addition neighborhood on the south side of Waunakee — the closest of Waunakee's subdivisions to Madison — built out across five named additions (Montondon, Monticello, Hanover, Eldorado Woods, and Woodbridge) with a resident-run neighborhood pool and no active new construction today.
🏡 About Savannah Village ›
An Established Neighborhood,
Built Across Five Additions
Savannah Village is a mature, apparently fully built-out subdivision on the south/southeast side of the Village of Waunakee — the closest of Waunakee's neighborhoods to Madison researched to date. It is not one single plat: it comprises at least five named additions — Montondon, Monticello, Hanover, Eldorado Woods, and Woodbridge — each potentially carrying its own recorded covenants and restrictions. Buyers and agents should never assume a rule confirmed for one addition automatically applies to another.
The Monticello Addition has a confirmed builder relationship: Premier Builders' own site lists "Savannah Village – Monticello Addition" as a featured neighborhood, marketed on its outdoor-sports amenities and close access to Arboretum Elementary, with inventory handled through Livable Communities by Don Tierney — the same development office behind Westbridge, Golden Ponds, Southbridge, and the Kilkenny Farms subdivisions elsewhere in Waunakee. The builder/declarant relationship for the other four additions has not been separately confirmed. No addition currently shows active, available lots — this is a resale-only neighborhood today, not a new-construction one.
Savannah Village has one of the better-documented amenities found across any Waunakee neighborhood in this research: the Savannah Village Neighborhood Pool, run by a real, financially transparent 501(c)(7) nonprofit tax-exempt since 2007, with public IRS filings showing healthy net assets and an active current season. A separate, official Village of Waunakee park — Savannah Park — is also confirmed to exist, though its exact street address remains an open question (see the Parks section below).
"Savannah Village is really five neighborhoods sharing one name. What's true for the Monticello Addition — its builder, its marketing, its proximity claims — isn't automatically true for Hanover or Woodbridge next door."
⭐ What People Value ›
What Draws Buyers to Savannah Village
Eight things that come up when discussing this neighborhood — evidence-based, not promotional.
⭐ Why People Choose It ▾
Established, Move-In-Ready Neighborhood
No active construction, dust, or years of phased buildout to wait through — Savannah Village appears fully built out today.
Closest Waunakee Subdivision to Madison
Real routed distances show Savannah Village about 2 miles and 2 minutes closer to Madison's Capitol Square than Waunakee subdivisions on the village's east side.
A Real, Financially Transparent Resident Pool
The Savannah Village Neighborhood Pool's public IRS filings show a well-run nonprofit with healthy net assets — a level of documentation this research hasn't found for several other subdivisions' amenities.
A Confirmed Village Park
Savannah Park is a real, named Village of Waunakee facility, reported to include paved, lighted trails and a roller-hockey area.
Confirmed Builder Pedigree
The Monticello Addition was built by Premier Builders, marketed through the same Livable Communities office behind several well-regarded newer Waunakee subdivisions.
Confirmed Waunakee-District Elementary
Savannah Village feeds Arboretum Elementary, confirmed — worth still verifying your specific address, since individual parcels can occasionally sit on a boundary edge.
A Mature Streetscape Across Five Additions
Montondon, Monticello, Hanover, Eldorado Woods, and Woodbridge give the neighborhood a broader mix of home ages and styles than a single-phase development.
Waunakee School District Assignment
Confirmed district-wide — for buyers specifically seeking Waunakee Community School District without the longer commute of the village's east side.

🌿 Parks & Amenities ›
Savannah Park, the Neighborhood Pool & What's Still Unresolved
A confirmed Village park, a genuinely well-documented resident pool, and one reported amenity still awaiting independent confirmation.
🌿 Parks & Amenities ▾
Savannah Park Facility Confirmed · Address Unresolved
Savannah Park is a real, officially named Village of Waunakee park facility. Reported features include paved, lighted walking trails and a roller-hockey area, per an independent real-estate blog citing Village planning documents. Its exact street address is unresolved — this research found conflicting claims of 1202 Bluebird Trail and 1202 Arboretum Drive — so neither is presented here as settled, and the feature list has not been field-verified.
Hanover Park (Reported) Confirmation Needed
A separate nearby Village park reported to hold tennis and ball-field facilities distinct from Savannah Park. Plausible — Waunakee has several small neighborhood parks — but no independent source confirming this park's existence or exact amenities was found this research pass.
Savannah Village Neighborhood Pool Verified — Active Nonprofit
A real, financially transparent 501(c)(7) nonprofit, tax-exempt since March 2007, with public IRS filings. Membership requires a $1,000 one-time initiation fee plus an annual renewal fee (amount stated on the application); guest passes and babysitter passes are also available. Whether membership extends beyond Savannah Village residents isn't confirmed.
Six Mile Solar (Proposed, Adjacent) Unresolved — Active Litigation
Not a neighborhood amenity, but directly relevant to anyone considering a southeast-facing lot: a proposed 6-megawatt, 30-acre solar project sits on Kennedy Road immediately behind Savannah Village. Denied by the Waunakee/Westport Joint Plan Commission in February 2026, the project is now the subject of a developer lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court, unresolved as of this research.

📊 Market Update ›
Savannah Village — What Homes Are Selling For
This trailing-12-month pull shows 11 closings between $549,900 and $885,000, median $650,000, at a median 98.8% of list price. This is a broad neighborhood-level pull — I haven't yet broken it out by the five named additions (Montondon, Monticello, Hanover, Eldorado Woods, and Woodbridge), since a sale can get tagged under any of them. There's no active builder here, so every closed sale should be a resale; if one isn't, that's worth a second look. Call me for the specific comp that matches your address.

Your Home's Value Is Not the Neighborhood Average
🏡 What's My Home Worth? ▾
Neighborhood market statistics describe the market as a whole — they cannot tell you what your specific home is worth today. Savannah Village spans five separately named additions built at different times, so comparing your home only to sales within your own addition (not the broader "Savannah Village" name) matters more here than in most neighborhoods.
An accurate home valuation requires a licensed agent to review your specific property against closed comparable sales in the right addition — and, if your lot faces Kennedy Road, to factor in the pending Six Mile Solar litigation as a real market consideration. If you're a Savannah Village homeowner considering a sale, John can provide a current market analysis at no cost or obligation.
John Reuter tracks closed sales across Waunakee's subdivisions through the SCWMLS. He can walk you through what has sold, what it sold for, and where your home fits — in a single conversation.

Waunakee local
Savannah Village trips people up because it's really five separate additions under one name — Montondon, Monticello, Hanover, Eldorado Woods, and Woodbridge. I'll show a buyer a home in Hanover and they'll assume it's built to the same covenants as the house they liked in Montondon down the street. It usually isn't. I tell every buyer here: find out which addition you're actually in before you assume anything about the rules.
People ask me about the HOA in Savannah Village a lot, and the honest answer is I haven't found a standalone covenant-enforcement association collecting dues here. What's well documented is the pool association, which is its own real, financially transparent nonprofit — but that's a different thing from the HOA a buyer might be used to in a newer subdivision. If dues and architectural control matter to you, confirm directly with the seller or a title company before assuming either way.
The Six Mile Solar project on Kennedy Road comes up more than you'd expect, especially with buyers looking at the southeast-facing lots. The permit was denied back in February 2026, but the developer took it to Dane County Circuit Court in March, and that case is still open. I bring it up myself with anyone considering those lots rather than waiting for them to ask.
The trade-off with Savannah Village is pretty simple: you're closer to Madison than almost anywhere else in Waunakee, and there's no construction to wait out. What you give up compared to a newer subdivision like Golden Ponds is that everything here is a resale — no builder to pick a floor plan from, no brand-new amenities. For a buyer who wants Waunakee schools and a shorter commute more than they want new construction, it's a real option worth a look.
