Perfect Weather in Newberry 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Newberry has great weather and perfect for purchasing a home because the cost of living is reasonable. I love living here because of the many amenities and that I don't have to travel far for work. We are close to the interstate making it easy to travel in and out of Newberry. Th ...Read More e only thing that I would love to have more local restaurants. We have several bar and grills but limited in the type of food available in the area.

There are many schools in the area to choose from and Newberry is very family-friendly. I also love how friendly the neighbors are and the southern hospitality. I feel a lot more relaxed when I moved here. We have several parks in the area including Lynch's Wood Park which is one of my favorite ones in the summertime. The best thing about living in Newberry is the weather because the winters are mild and the summer is perfect as we have several family-friendly activities throughout the town. Read Less
