Seems safe and family oriented. Mainly homeowners. Not a lot of bustling things for young people. However, relatively safe and is a good balance between city and rural life.

I like the environment of Southport. It has both rural and urban elements. If you're looking for a bustling day, but a peaceful night, Southport is where it's at.

Southport has many great people that do their best to uplift the community. However, there are does not seem to be many local businesses thriving. I think the city could do more to encourage the people to be more self sufficient. One way could be helping the people acquire the space needed to do their part.

Southport is a good spot to live because you can easily drive to Indianapolis and Greenwood. The area itself is not loud or super busy making it the perfect place to engage in activities when you want and have peace and quiet when you need.
