Countless homebuyers are finding what they are looking for in Richmond Hill, a quaint coastal community south of historic Savannah and neighboring the Fort Stewart Military Installation. Visitors are impressed by its Southern charm, rich history, community spirit, opportunity for outdoor and water-related adventures, annual festivals, and great local seafood. A family-oriented community, residents enjoy an outstanding educational system and a remarkably low crime rate.
The city's phenomenal growth means that businesses and local government pay extremely close attention to the wants and needs of the community. The influx of newcomers has given a phenomenal boost to the construction, housing, and service industries. Based on US Census data, the city has grown 182% from 1990 to 2003. On average, the population has increased 14% each year. Homebuyers are finding what they are looking for in this tight-knit community, which has been able to maintain its small town appeal while providing quality services to the community.
Home to many soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division, the city seems to attract many military families, due in part to the quality neighborhoods, exceptional schools, and low crime. The real estate market and land developers can hardly keep pace with the growing demand.
