The southern lifestyle evokes images of lazy afternoons spent on wide covered porches with the scent of orange blossom in the air, gazing out over marshy savannahs. Life in the new South offers this and much, much more. Therealestatehomeguide.com’ selection of southern neighborhoods showcases classic southern living and traditional architecture complemented with every modern amenity. To accommodate the warm, humid air of Southern climates, houses of the south are sprawling and airy with tall ceilings, large front porches, usually built of wood. A wrap–around porch provides shade during the heat of the day. Pitched or gabled roofs are usually medium or shallow in height, often with dormers.
