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.

Small and safe town. Enjoy perry township schools, and graduated from SHS in 2014. I would feel safe to raise a family in this town.

The environment is culturally diverse and very accepting. Overall, there are many opportunities to meet new people and try new experiences. As for safety, I believe the town is a good place for a family or those who are wanting to live in Indianapolis, but not downtown. The public schools are highly rated and challenge their students. While there is not a lot of nightlife, downtown is very close by and an easy drive.
