Richmond Hill Living: Why This Growing Coastal Community Remains a Top Choice

The rapid growth of suburban communities in the Savannah, GA region is no surprise. Coastal Georgia continues to attract new residents thanks to its strong economy, historic charm, and easy access to major employers such as Gulfstream Aerospace, the Georgia Ports Authority, Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), multiple healthcare systems, and nearby military installations.

One area experiencing exceptional demand is Richmond Hill, GA. This fast-growing city of just over 20,000 people offers families a unique blend of small-town warmth, excellent schools, low crime, and beautifully maintained parks and recreation facilities. With Savannah only minutes away, residents enjoy close proximity to shopping, dining, entertainment, and coastal outdoor adventures—without the congestion of city living.

Both communities offer the same high level of craftsmanship, value, and customer service that Ernest Homes is known for—plus easy access to Richmond Hill’s award-winning school system and growing commercial corridor.
