Best areas to explore in Southport?

Longtime lurker here, I'm a remote worker and With a population of 2,036, Southport is a small town. Crime rate is something to consider -Southport sits at 351.5 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Any advice would be great. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.

I've been here 13 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is improving.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
