Are the Neighbors in Southern Hills Plantation Friendly & Welcoming?
Definitely, YES. I was blown away with how friendly everyone is in Southern Hills. Everyone waves when they pass each other in cars, golf carts or walking. While our first home in the community was being built, we would stop by and check on the progress. Neighbors would stop by, introduce themselves and welcome us to the area. As dog lovers and having our own dog, we quickly made friends with everyone else out walking their dogs. We felt welcomed right away and never have had a negative encounter with anyone in the community. Meeting up with friends at the restaurant or at Sunnies Pool Bar is always a great time!
