7 Reasons to Move to Richmond Hill, GA

Richmond Hill is a small city in Coastal Georgia with a big personality. Known for its awesome location, rich history, proximity to military bases, and laid-back lifestyle, many people have taken notice and made it their permanent home. Here are 7 reasons why we think you'll love living in Richmond Hill, GA too!

1) Fantastic Location

Part of the Savannah Metro Area, Richmond Hill, GA is only 30 minutes from historic Downtown Savannah, but enjoys its own unique identity and relaxed charm. From here, you're less than an hour to beautiful, unspoiled beaches on the Atlantic coast. You're also within a few hours drive of the region's major cities and attractions, including Jacksonville (2 hours), Charleston (2 hours), Atlanta (4 hours), and Orlando (4 hours). Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield are just minutes away, making Richmond Hill the perfect home base.


2) Small-Town Charm

Many people from around the country and military personnel have made their homes in Richmond Hill, yet the town retains a unique, small-town charm. With a population of only about 15,000, it's easy to make life-long friends with neighbors. Plus, residents look forward to planned events and local festivals like the annual Christmas Parade, Spring Fling, and more. Did you know that despite the small-town charm, Richmond Hill hosts one of the largest seafood festivals in the Southeast, the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival?


3) Good Schools

Children who live in Richmond Hill are served by the Bryan County School District. The elementary, middle, and high schools are all rated above average, according to GreatSchools.org, giving parents confidence that their kids are off to a great educational start.

5) Local Shopping

Part of the reason Richmond Hill has been able to maintain its quaint charm is that there's a heavy emphasis on supporting local businesses. There are no big-box stores within city limits, but you can still find everything you need. Groceries, hardware stores, package shops, a pet boutique, a garden center, and more are just a few minutes from wherever you live in town. For more options, just head to Tanger Outlets in Pooler, GA or into Savannah.
