Things that make South Hill unique
My family moved here when I was a kid. Crime rate is something to consider -South Hill sits at 279.4 per 100K. Poverty rate is 5.4%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $109,235, which feels pretty solid for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Good internet infrastructure
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports

Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
