Large frame Victorian houses with deep porches and turrets stand on curving streets behind iron fences. Apple TV+'s Cape Fear used two of them as Savannah.
What Inman Park looks like
Most of the houses are large frame Victorians of two and three storeys, set close together with deep porches. Several have corner turrets under conical roofs. They sit on raised lots behind iron or wood fences, with mature trees shading the sidewalks.
The oldest houses, mostly on Euclid Avenue, date from 1890 to 1910 and mix Queen Anne turrets and gables with Colonial Revival columns. Wraparound porches on turned posts are common, with gingerbread trim under the eaves. Elizabeth Street has a run of early twentieth century bungalows, lower and plainer, with deep porches under broad gable roofs.
The streets curve rather than run on a grid, opening onto small triangular greens at some junctions. is the commercial spine, with restaurants and shops at street level. One way signs mark several of the narrower residential streets.
sits at the center, a pond ringed by a stone wall with a playground on the grass above it. The Trolley Barn on Edgewood Avenue is a long dark green shingled shed with red trim and a corner turret. is a red brick warehouse under a corrugated roof. It sits on the southern edge, backing onto the . MARTA's tracks run along on the same edge, with Inman Park's own station on the line.
Shot in Inman Park
Apple TV+'s Cape Fear used two facing houses in Inman Park as Savannah for all ten episodes, hanging fake Spanish moss through the trees for the length of the shoot. The production has not identified either house. Baby Driver and the Jumanji sequel Welcome to the Jungle have also filmed on Inman Park's streets. So have the series Being Mary Jane, MacGyver, Lovecraft Country and Tell Me Lies.
Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square

What Inman Park can double for
The Victorian District in Savannah, Georgia
Apple TV+'s Cape Fear shot the Bowden and Cady houses here as Savannah for all ten episodes, from the end of April to the middle of October. Both neighborhoods began the same way, as their own city's first streetcar suburb. Savannah's closest match for Inman Park is its own Victorian District, a wood frame streetcar suburb along Bull Street and Whitaker Street. Georgia's live oaks do not carry Spanish moss the way Savannah's do, so the production hung fake moss through the trees for the whole shoot. The Eastside Trail runs along Inman Park's western edge, and its railings and joggers would need to stay out of a wide shot standing in for Savannah. Try searching wood frame streetcar suburb now.
Belgravia Court in Louisville, Kentucky
Old Louisville's houses share the same run of late Victorian styles as Inman Park's own Beath-Dickey House, and several carry the same Belgravia Court corner turrets and towers. Its houses run smaller than the mansions on neighboring St. James Court, the closer match for Inman Park's own scale. Inman Park's own one way signs at junctions like Druid Circle would need to stay out of a frame standing in for 1890s Louisville. St. James Court's fountain and the size of its mansions would give the location away, so Belgravia Court is the safer match. Try searching Belgravia Court corner turrets now.
The East End Historic District in Galveston, Texas
Victorian cottages in the East End Historic District have the same turrets and ironwork as Inman Park's own houses, built along Sealy Avenue and Postoffice Street in the same run of decades. Galveston raised its street grade by several feet after the 1900 hurricane, so its East End wraparound porches now sit higher off the ground than anything in Inman Park does. Galveston's streets also run straight, unlike the curve Inman Park's own streets take. A shot that includes the raised porch stairs would give away the Gulf Coast rather than inland Georgia, and so would the palms and oleanders common in East End yards.
