Rating 3.84 out of 5 19 reviews
Not too much to do around here, there are many different sides of this interesting environment. The public schools are great on education, but behavior is constantly getting worse. Plenty of the roads are destroyed from the floods about 6 years ago.
What I like about Richland County is that the schools are awesome, especially in Richland Two. My nephews attend a school in Richland Two and they are very smart. Moreover, there are nice neighborhoods in this area. I live in Summit Hills and the neighborhood is very quiet. What I would like to see changed is the commute to work. There is a plethora of people who live on my side of town, therefore, this creates heavy traffic in the morning, especially around 8 a.m. Maybe another side road could be made on Hardscrabble Road.
Living in Richland Country has been a pretty smooth experience. I don’t have much complaints. I have great neighbors, the schools are filled with great teachers, easy access to commute to different places.
